A typical day at work would consist of doing a 2 hours and 30 minutes stint of hard work with a 30 minute break, followed by another 2 hours and 30 minutes stint with a 30 minute break, then finishing with a last 2 hours to end the day. What I learned was communication with others is by far the most important skill, as everything that goes on in department requires communication to keep on top of their work. My co workers were aged between 16- 50 so this gave me the opportunity to work with people other than my age group, this was difficult at first as i'm not that confident but as time went on you learn the nature of how to work at the business. The hardest part of the Job was getting to grips with basics as I was new to the factory and had to learn how to use machines and different operators. The most enjoyable part of the job was getting to work with others, and have conversation with people older than myself.

I worked here back in 2009 and ended up just walking out half way through a night shift. The people I worked with where nice enough and helpful but the management were bullies. On 2 occasions I was threatened with the sack for not doing overtime on a Saturday morning, the first time was my first week while on induction.  Staff constantly threatened by a woman who I think was the production manager that if they didn’t do overtime the production director would be down to ‘educate them’ on how easy he could replace you! They where her actual words. 
I was on nights on my last night shift when I’m the shift manager told me, not asking me but telling me I was staying on in the morning after 6am and working until 12 lunch time as there was no one to my job on Saturday overtime. I laughed at him and said goodbye!
The arrogance of the company fame brought 2 weeks later when they ‘demanded’ I attend a hearing on o line xplain myself for leaving their employment!

Depending on the shift you are in ( 3 rotational 6-2, 2-10 and 10-6) the day starts with a hand over from the outgoing shift members.
They tell you what type of product the production line is running and the target of the day.
Youask them if there has been some problems that need to be taken note of and when all parties agree that all is now ok you can start the shift.
There are two breaks in between the shift and this is the time to meet friends and other people from different departments.
The hardest part of the job is when the QA department tells you there is need for you to go over some pallets you have already sealed if they think there has been a mistake but this hardly happens.

If you want a job where you don’t know what you’re doing from one day to the next and are not trained properly then this is the job for you. There is no leadership whatsoever in this place, you ask a manager something and they will respond with “Leave it with me” and that’s the last you hear of it because it won’t get done. You spend most of your time chasing them up and even then you won’t know anything. It’s a waste of space and the Pay is poor for the work they expect from you.

this company has a bullying mentality , no one on the shop floor was happy and the senior management uses bullying tactics
and constantly threatens to fire employees daily .
i left a good job to work here, but i was lied to by the MD and senior management, 
my advice dont think about working here, the grass wasn't greener

Have worked on several jobs and have learned more skills.The management are approachable and have a positive workplace culture.Its very organised as the staff rota is put up the day before so you know exactly what job you doing the next day.

This job was a very good starting point for someone with little confidence in their English skills. Loads of benefits, salary increase every year, when asked for holidays, there was no problem.

Family atmosphere, managers value the well-being of employees, clean and pleasant to work with. Team leaders are careful to explain and understand if everything is fine with you. The supervisor respects your opinion and gives feedback on your development.
