Pros

- Looks good on your CV - Well paid - Some great people in the teams - Various sites to apply to work at

Cons

- Maintenance team operates machines and don't allow for real maintenance work - Parking is a big issue. - Paternity, maternity and shift pay not equal to other sites - Sending out a leaflet saying 'go to bed and wake up the same time everyday' is condescending when most of your workers are on shifts.
