Pros

The benefits scheme is good that’s about it.

Cons

Warehouse group leaders bully staff, don’t stick to their shifts like they are meant to. Spend more time drinking tea and finding ways to sack people then actually working. You have to work 3 shifts unless you are female or are friends or relatives with someone in the office then you can work double days. Moral is at an all time low everybody is running a round trying to do the work of two people due to not being able to keep staff and then it’s still not good enough for them. Most of the warehouse staff are looking for a new job to get away from the company. The warehouse Group Leaders are corrupt and will cover anything up that will show them as being bully’s even stopping you from going to see HR department without them arranging it for you so they can find out what it’s about first.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
