Pros

The factory staff were extremely hard working.

Cons

Poor leadership from senior management. No work life balance. Tired and run-down manufacturing site with equipment always breaking down. 30+ year old Portakabin as offices. 2 toilets for over 30 office staff. High turnover of staff. 3 different operations directors within 1 year. Lack of training and control led to gluten contamination of products with a full scale recall. Poor cash flow. Couldn’t pay suppliers on time with supplier credit accounts often being put on stop. Stuck-up executives from the corporate head office in Edinburgh would often visit and look down their noses at everyone in the Bathgate manufacturing site. Terrible canteen area. Lack of parking.

Pros

Salary gets paid even if they can't pay the other bills

Cons

leadership are completely out of touch with operations, bullies and amateurs. CEO too good to speak to anyone. Marketing manager lives in fantasy land making instagram reels while causing utter chaos for operations, is completely arrogant when on site and has no appreciation for anyone. Lots of gaps in process, Just a matter of time until this place gets closed down.
