Pros

Great experience, lovely and experienced peers

Cons

Thrown in at the deep end and doing things wrong, no structure, no proper training. Quality standards are low in Barcelona in turn think they will be low in Ireland. No employee engagement at all. Constant stress, ambiguity, pressure and emotional/mental manipulation by management. Toxic environment. All smoke and mirrors, no truth or transparency. People marched off site because management took a dislike to them. Family company which expects family loyalty. Think people should be lucky to work for them. No choice but to work long hours. Mental and physical health suffered. No proper performance appraisal. Bonus are pathetic. Put the wrong people in positions of power who don't know the job.

Pros

Good for phlebotomy experience Meet interesting people Learn to keep plates spinning Good health benefits, but not enough to outweigh the health impacts Learn working in a high-stress fast-paced work environment

Cons

Have to unlearn working in a high-stress fast-paced work environment High school drama and toxicity, management is the prom king/queen Cliquey dramatic management team Reneged agreements Playing favorites, rules for thee but not for me Private employee info gets spread, often by those who are relied upon to keep it private No work life balance or boundaries, and it's an admitted and perpetually unaddressed fault Have to be made to feel guilty for wanting to leave production, get a break, or go to the bathroom High turnover "Is everyone else working as hard as I am?",-Everyone, and eventually you
