If they don't like you they will be uncaring. Hours are long and underpaid. Not a lot of regard for health of workers.

Management don't know how to manage they're only managers as they have stayed at the company the longest. There was a lot of open gossiping within themselves, which led to a few members of staff feeling very self-conscious and closed off from the team. You are thrown in the deep and with limited training. It is physically difficult work with heavy lifting and long days of only standing with very few breaks. You were expected to work very hard to make up for them booking in too many samples which lead us to often working overtime for no extra money as we were blamed for being too slow instead. There were a few times of working an hour extra and going in the next day to be blamed in group meetings for going too slow which ruined group moral. Due to being in a lab we could not get drinks and there was no talking even when there was a break in samples for five minutes in a hectic day - you would be shouted and clapped at. The health and safety at the company was also very lax especially if you suffered from asthma as there was limited protocol in place for protection. Also, the 'contact' they gave at the start of the employment was old and had information on it that didn't exist anymore - like stating they would pay overtime.
