Pros

Most of the people from middle management to shop floor are great. Many will have retired by the time project is finished though,

Cons

Senior management don’t seem to care how many people are leaving. Recycling plant is not pleasant environment to work in (staff are great it’s just messy). Focus seems to be on the project and everything else including staff falls by the way side, MMT are distant and very little information is communicated, health and safety focus seems to have gone, many younger staff have left and not been replaced leaving older workers to do more work. No overtime, no bonus. Pay rises have been below other businesses in the area for some years now. Morale is low and seems to go unnoticed by MMT.

Pros

Big site new investment looks promising

Cons

Poor standards, the hr dept and engineer who interviewed me need to raise their standards significantly, it is never acceptable to not inform a 2nd stage interviewee of the outcome , for this I now perceive your company in very low standards and with enough people thinking the same way it only hurts your reputation and relationships whether this be now or in the future

Pros

Immediate management and colleagues have been supportive and felt like a family over my time here. Day-to-day teamwork has been a real positive experience.

Cons

Senior management and the parent company provide little direction or long-term planning. There is a lack of empowerment, limited recognition or reward, and overall low morale due to poor leadership decisions. Sitewide, from contractors on the main project to maintenance teams on the boiler, morale and attitude are at rock bottom, which makes it difficult to stay motivated.
