Pros

- Flexibility with uni commitments - Above min wage - Reasonable operational targets

Cons

- Strict policy with respect to sickness, low illness threshold for disciplinary/investigatory meeting - Poor communication from senior management - letter requesting a disciplinary meeting was given a day and a half prior to meeting (supposed to be multiple days prior according to the manager) - Refusal of day change for above meeting due to the delay in receiving the letter - resulting in no union representative being able to represent me - Apparent disregard for a pre-existing condition for which I had a doctors confirmation in writing

Pros

Colleague discount and can take a break when you want

Cons

Just a number - asked to do training at home, management demanding. high turnover of staff. Say they are flexible but when you ask to change hours/days get a NO. no training on floor. staff discount rubbish.
