Pros

Aggregate Industries are very focused on developing their young and new colleagues, for instance through the graduate scheme and higher apprenticeship scheme. There will always be the possibility of either a training course, getting out to see another site or learn about a different area of business and this adds great variation to the job as well as benefiting your development. If you are willing to put the work in there will always be rewards available to you and the mentor scheme means that your hard work doesn't go unnoticed at any point. Working on a site means that there is also variation in the day-to-day work, with some desk based work and some hands-on work every day. This also allows you to see and solve the typical problems that any site may have.

Cons

There are long working hours and this should be accounted for, however, as mentioned previously, rewards are there for those willing to put in the work.

Pros

Health and Safety is viewed with the utmost importance across the company. Safe systems of work and close control of all H&S systems are maintained at all levels. This overarching H&S value links closely to the company's focus on employee health which is monitored and checked on a regular basis. Aggregate Industries also has a large focus on environmental management. Ensuring conformity to international standards as well as restoration and continuing management of areas no longer being used by the company. As an employee of AI I am provided with a large exposure to all areas of the company so that I have a well rounded view of the business. This large exposure has allowed me to increase my personal knowledge and experience. As a Management Trainee I have had the opportunity to shadow site management as well as undertake project work directly related to management of the site.

Cons

Inter-departmental communication can be limited at times. It is important that all aspects of the company cooperate well to ensure that the business runs smoothly. In some cases, lack of operational knowledge within other departments (or vise versa) can lead to difficulties within the business.
