Best thing
When the trucks back each day, I chuck the keys in and I no longer have to think about work unlike retail and office jobs I've done in the past.
Worst thing
Long days. Lots of 12.5/13 hours on paper but you have to bend the rules or bust balls to keep on time or get ahead. Planning. Our rota has 4 day weeks and 5 day weeks. On 4 days I end up working 38/40 hours and 5 day weeks end up doing 50/55 hours. That's paid for, not enclosing breaks and travel time too and from work! They just don't seem to balance the availability of short/long days well depending on what rotation you are on. I'd like it to be more balanced so I'm not getting burnt out on 5 day weeks, by working a bit more on 4 day weeks

How easy it is
Worst thing
The stress the headache
Wren Kitchens Receptionist, October 2022

Best thing
Work load is pretty easy, very physical tiring work, and, but easy enough to not be to strenuous.
Worst thing
Head office not knowing how to run certain parts but changes how things are done because they think it’s better. And lack of equipment (I.e straps, machines, trolleys) and lack of staff (with a big turn around) orders always going up and they expect people to just do more.

Best thing
During the time when I worked 13 hours (3 on 4 off) I'd get a bonus £20 to make up for 40 hours.
I felt the fittest I'd ever been when I worked there, built a fair bit of muscle due to constant lifting.Wren Kitchens Production operative, September 2022

Best thing
Mostly ‘job & knock’. Fortnight off over Christmas. Don’t have to work bank holidays. Monday to Friday work until July (2020).
Worst thing
Long days and subsequent unpaid overtime . Too many silly rules to fall foul of. Supervisors always looking to dig you out. Company ethos doesn’t allow mistakes - you are expected to behave and act like a robot.
