  • Best thing

    The workers on the same standard has me are good to talk to and make time go fast.

    Worst thing

    The management has horrible organisational skills and never have any standard for themselves so, when they’re is an inspection they force us to do extra hours when we don’t get any extra time bonus of the sort, and because of that most of the workers bail out last second when they know that their is not going to be any consequences because their is no proper hierarchy in that place, the management and the top managers of the company are all friends so even if we regular workers report them they will just ignore the reports of bad behaviour.
