The worst company i have ever had the misfortune of working for in every regard. A culture so poisonous and disgusting that the company sees its employees as disposable cattle while simultaneously claiming that their " employees are their greatest asset". A bully culture and sink or swim mentality while they plant their foot firmly on your head and enjoy watching you struggle. 
Management was simply a group of pretenders that tried to play their roles but demonstrated a childish level of professionalism. 
This is a fantastic opportunity if you enjoy having no job security, no support, enjoy being thrown under the bus, stabbed in the back, being under appreciated, no rewards, targets, goals, recognition, no structure, over worked, incompetent management, being made a scapegoat and working in a office that feels as if it was made in the 1940's and held together with chewing gum and duct tape. 
I can't express this enough to anybody looking for a role anywhere in this disgracefully shocking business - AVOID THIS LIKE THE PLAGUE.
No matter where you are, no matter how desperate it gets, you are miles better than this shambles. Do NOT lower yourself to this standard.  

As a newly appointed Factory Administrator (3 months) working 12 hr night shifts I can honestly say we suffer from common issues throughout the Food Manufacturing industry, albeit continuous staff shortages and old Factory plant and machinery. Then there are the many convoluted procedures and outdated ideologies, almost as if you are in a time warp, but actually there is a lot to learn from the wealth of experience and untapped skills base available. In saying that, the true asset here are the people themselves, and there is very much a strong catalyst for change, so I believe it is YOU yourself who can actually make the job your own, and be part of a dedicated team, but just don’t expect undying gratitude and reward, everybody else is too busy to even notice what you are contributing!

Managed 12 months before finally leaving, site had more ops and general managers in that 12 months than I managed breaks. Culture of if your face doesn't fit you will either be made to leave or forced to leave. Jobs are sold to people as being really involving when in reality its 1 guy at the top making every decision good (of which there was few) and bad (of which there were many) 
Staff are basically wanting the factory to close to collect their redundancy and move onto another factory in the spalding area so the culture is exactly that! 
More interim managers than employed some of which just want the money, the ones that want to make a change don't get the opportunity.

I worked there for one day the line leader did not even ask if I was OK throughout the twelve hours I was there I did the same job for twelve hours which was to stack baskets of pastry then was asked near the end of the shift if I was going to return the next day, it's the o ly job I've known where they don't ask for a reference from your past employer, so to me this tells me that they don't really know who they are employing and the employees past. Also how the pay the wages is so confusing you work four long shifts then they tell you you'll only pick 3 of these up and the forth will be carried over till next payday, I was also told that staff turnover was very high. I would not recommend this place to work for. 

I worked nights and on the day shift as a Temp.Had the opportunity to work alongside some really good people including some of the supervisors 
The role itself was interesting and you do get the opportunity to move around and work all areas which is developing your skills.I really enjoyed aspects of this role it was hassle free went in did my work and went home.
I didn’t work weekends but there is the opportunity to work extra should you choose  and progression opportunities If you work well.
It is a big organisation so If you want to be part of a larger company this is the place to consider 

If you are planning on leaving your wife or girlfriend this is the job for you, working nights and then trying to get some sleep during the day. To some people trying a night shift for the first time the first few weeks are tough going, and if you are rotated in the tasks you are given it lightens the load a little.The two half breaks you are given are actually 20 minutes by the time you've faffed around changing your clothing and adhering to the elf 'n safety measures.The people are mixed, some good some bad including the supervisers, however the recruitment process is usually done by two weeks if you're looking for something quick.

I would not recommend this company to work for in any role. Nepotism is rife. And constant pressure to perform 100% even when machinery breaks down. Bad behaviour is constantly rewarded, yet if you've the slightest backbone you're singled out as not a team player.

Favouritism is also rife, as many employees are on superior pay rates over other staff due to nepotism or outside of workplace relationships. Despite a company policy of non-mandatory overtime, you will be lead to believe you're needed to stay on everyday.

Oh, the main gateway into the firm is through an agency, be prepared to have the carrot dangled for a permanent position!

Not really the best place to work if you don't like stress - Not many people there speak English so communication can be pretty awful at times. It can be stressful at first, my first day was awful-kept getting redirected with little to no instruction on what to do, but when you finally get grips on what to do, it's a pretty easy job, but it's pretty boring and it can seem to drag on for hours, Other than that it's somewhat decent, but definitely wouldn't recommend someone work there. 

The company care about staff. Management team very friendly and helpful. Nice environment, close to the beach and coast. Company always promote internal staff instead of taking ppl from outside, only if there is no reliable person external staff is bringing on. 
Good product range, meat and vegan pies, sausage rolls. Company is involved in many locals activity, help charity by involving staff in different activities etc. Highly recommended. 

Since complete have taken over ibelieve the work load has gotten to much for our small site. Taking on more orders than we can cope with .good experience staff leaving because of the unrealistic work load. Orders have got bigger new lines have been taken on but no expansion to goods in/dispatch areas .the lads who work in highcare ,low are and packaging are over worked .sickness and staff leaving the job is ridiculous.
