Pros

The co-workers are friendly. Shift work that can allow you to tailor your week to appointments. Double pay on bank holidays.

Cons

Extremely demanding work for minimum wage. No one recieved HACCP training in bakewell department. Understaffed for the work load demanded. Have not recieved wage slip in 4 months. Long hours. Management from head office degrade you in front of co workers. You can sometimes be expected to work till 9.30pm and back in at 5.00am. I am not a disgruntled employee, I have 5 years previous food experience which is why I find this company's policy's and treatment of staff shocking.

Pros

Well, nice building... and very good working equipment

Cons

3 weeks on and still no wages slips, no contracts confirming employment conditions and regulations, salary 30% short even to emergency rates (and no slips to figure out why and what). Shifts changed 1 or 2 before shift day. Rosters planned 2-3 days in advance. Employment still not even registered in revenue and information from management that to solve emergency tax rates, employees need to contact revenue but can't do it cause company (site) still doesn't have Company Reg. No. :))) Biggest nonsens ever told. Assuming that's ONE BIG MISUNDERSTANDING & DISSAPOINTMENT especially 8.65 rates with low houres
