Great team, tools and work environment - Mounter Queensmith Employee Review

Mostly you will be left alone to do your work, which is nice. Well supplied tools and equipment. Management can be good sometimes for listening and understanding. Not bad job if you are new to jewellery, but don't stay long.

There once was a few good perks, like free lunch, and occasional bonuses, but no more. Some people there will do anything to climb the ladder, lots of gossiping and people telling management bad things about you. Management can often make people feel like their job is not secure and they are replaceable. This leads to a lot of insecurities and destruction of team environment. Very low ceiling for career advancement. No opportunities for promotions. Bad working hours. No flexibility at all for change of work hours. Many people get exhausted and have no energy for learning new skills after work. Very high number of people leaving. Most of management do not understand how jewellery is made, asking lots of questions and taking your ideas to the boss or just end up wasting lots of time and money on big mistakes. Some workshops are poorly designed and can cause a lot of difficulty in getting work done. Some people get sore necks from sitting there a long time in bad position.
