Management are totally incompetent particularly the senior site manager

Pros

Mostly friendly staff £1 meals

Cons

Very little investment. Building is failing due to age but most, if not all are sticking plaster repairs. Everything is done on the cheap. Recycling: rubbish is allocated recycling bins but then put in the same compactor and taken to landfill Senior management have no idea how to manage yet they keep promoting the wrong people. There has been clear evidence of bullying and favouritism Service to customers is ok but focus is always on profit. Countless data on profits and bonuses are displayed but hands on staff see little or nothing of any bonus. Evidence of managers being offered several "team building" away days which must cost thousands of £'s yet working staff have no such invitations. The place has gone down hill since new owners stepped in. It's my opinion and only mine that they seem to be asset stripping the company although I have no strict proof, just observations

Not all great

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

Working with some great people. £1 meals are ok. Easy shift patterns

Cons

managers lazy, not training properly, no staff under them strong enough. also managers leaving their post to go about their other jobs. Not doing full shifts. Getting other staff members to do overtime instead. Getting beyond a joke. Surely that’s breach of contract. Some staff members don’t have anyone to look after them. Left to their own devices. seen many reviews the same. Seems like it’s happening everywhere.
