Pros

Easy to learn job Good work life balance

Cons

People in upper management are toxic bullies that choose their targets treat poorly. They make dumb rules as an excuse to put it on ya such as not being allowed to wear hi vis at a labour job, not tucking your shirt in, can’t park on a public council owned road, can’t smoke in your OWN car on breaks (vapes included). They don’t enforce these rules physically big people that they can’t intimidate such as islanders because like school bullies they pick their own targets. Increased demand on units made but purposefully do things that put job at disadvantage like not being allowed to use certain trolleys that still can carry coils.

Pros

Its in a nice building

Cons

Insane lack of communication; left alone after 3 hours on my first day. Did the work they wanted but not fast enough and they had a backup waiting to take my place and were not coy or secretive about that whatsoever. Was told not to bring lunch my first day. So I didn't bring lunch my first day. They did not provide lunch on my first day. I went out and bought food and then came back and worked alone the rest of the day. My trainer had retired years prior from a different company and couldn't understand that a PDF could be opened more than one way. What a relief I did not stick around. Oh yeah and I got very sick when they called to lay me off, but they needed their stuff back. Do you think they sent a courier? Nah. I went in thd next day, still sick, and waited over 10 minutes until hopping the security gate because no one was there AND I WAS SICK. Yeah, shortly after I received my positive COVID results. Welp, that about sums up my short stint at this place. Legal dept was completely chaotic. Also the open floorplan was awful during covid.
