Cons
The factory and commercial side of the business might as well be two sperate companies, they do not follow the same company values and employees are treat very differently depending on what side of the business they sit on. York factory promotes a bully style of management from the top down, on many occasions senior management use a degrading style of management with the end goal being to belittle their staff. Burn out culture is something heavily promoted within the factory, you must be contactable on your phone at all times, all hours of the night - work chat is abused through the night and on weekends with senior management bombarding staff with texts demanding information. Work life balance does not exist. Salaries seem decent from the outside, but when you take into account the hours you will be working the hourly rate will be below minimum wage. This is by far one of the most toxic environments I have ever worked in, my advice would be to stay clear of the factories. At least I now have a wealth of experience working in stressful and toxic environments - anything is up from here...
