Pros
- Interesting products/customers. - Lots of learning opportunities on the formulation side. - Company are charitable and do give back to staff. - The people you work with, there are some very talented individuals working here. - Nicola was a great manager and team member when it came to support and learning.
Cons
- The heating/air con is under heavier surveillance than Area 51. Layers are key. - While back office system training is strong, you are thrown in the deep end and expected to have years of industry knowledge in regard to packaging and printing methods etc. - Workload is unmanageable at times, you are forced to compromise on quality just to keep up with volume. Management are sympathetic when discussing this but there’s little they can do as department in understaffed. - NPD works in silence with no radio which can feel incredibly isolating and in my opinion negatively impacts team morale. - Salaries do not accurately reflect the amount of responsibility, specialised knowledge or extensive workload required for the role. -No structured performance reviews.
