Pros

Location Sustainable energy centric Brand reputation (even if undeserved when considering how staff are actually treated if we are honest to customers when they comment how great it must be to work for such a big brand.)

Cons

Pressures staff to work for free at times and claims it is allowed under contract. Numerous management issues and occasional verbal abuse if not hitting unrealistic targets, including those that involve working on time off to avoid consequences from management.

Pros

Wage is good and coworkers are all very nice and welcoming/ willing to assist in learning the ins and outs of the job

Cons

Management is lacking organization and doesn't communicate well at all. You never know how long your shift will be on any given day (can range from 8-12 hours), and this is due to equipment failing/defects in cars. Although these problems are understandable, workers are always left in the dark on issues, and end up working aimlessly for hours, and end up having to work 10-11 hour days without even being told that the shift will run long.
