What is the best part of working at the company?
The company is fast paced and dynamic. If you put the hard work in, it is recognised and rewarded. I have a great working relationship with all of the teams internally and I am well supported. I love that this company has been built from the ground up, and seeing it grow year on year and being a part of that has been very rewarding.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
My role is to support all areas of the business, so I have to speak to a lot of different teams to investigate internally. We can have a lot of enquiries pass through the Buisness support department and it can get very busy, but with support of my manager, this can be resolved quickly and efficiently. We are constantly evolving to make processes easier and more efficient.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
We are constantly evolving and changes are quite regular, as long as you can adapt easily, and are flexible, you wont find this a problem. I have worked with all teams internally and I find everyone is friendly, welcoming and respectful. Management are firm but fair, mistakes do happen but as long as you are open and honest with them, and they don’t get repeated, you will work well here. You are not treated as just a number at HERMEQ, as I have in previous companies, and you are valued.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
We are busy and the working days go by very quickly. The workload can easily get on top of you if you don’t manage it properly, you have to utilise your time efficiently. I have regular check ins throughout the day with my manager who is always there to jump in if it gets too much.

What is the best part of working at the company?
There are some genuinely lovely people who will go out of there way to help you (not many though) 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
This is by far the most toxic workplace environment I have experienced. The office culture often revolves around creating unnecessary drama from minor situations. 
There is a strong sense of favouritism within the organisation. Employees who are personally liked tend to be treated significantly better and compensated fairly, while others are made to feel easily replaceable. This dynamic contributes to what is, in my experience, the highest staff turnover I have seen within a company. Very few employees appear interested in remaining with the organisation long-term.
Overall, the atmosphere is extremely negative, and there is a clear lack of enthusiasm among staff. Additionally, many management positions seem to be filled by individuals who are relatively inexperienced and appear to have been appointed based on personal relationships rather than relevant qualifications or professional suitability for the role.
This company damaged my mental health and I’d advise anyone to avoid unless you want to work in chaos.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Easy to get away with doing nothing, as management aren't aware of what's supposed to be being done.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There was not one component i had come to me that was correct dimensions for welding. Unskilled operators being allowed to use machines meant everything was always folded too much or the size was wrong. Always up to you to fill big gaps.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Shocking. A group of 5 upper level managers would come into you bay whilst working, talk about your job, and the quality of your work, but would completely exclude you from the conversation without saying a word to you or even looking at you. They wouldn't even look at you as you passed, not even a hello.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Got in early, dont know why, as others would turn up late and nothing would happen. See the abysmal state the morning shift left your bay in. Team leader would tell you what youd be working on, but he didn't have a clue. Muck around for 7 hours. Towards end of shift morning shift would come in and slate your work.

This company was a complete waste of my time and effort, I wish I never bothered leaving my previous company. You are unappreciated and they expected the world for no reward and with no guidance, no real structure and awful management. The lads in the office were lovely, but management were a joke. 

You had to constantly chase others for answers just to be able to do your job. People didn’t seem to care about what happens to orders and processed things wrong all the time, until there was a problem and it was always someone else’s fault. Big blame culture and no one takes responsibility. 

I never really seen or heard from my manager, unless she was pulling me on something she deemed to be wrong. I couldn’t get hold of her if I ever needed help. If your face fitted, management and HR had your back but for the majority of staff this was not the case, one rule for one person and another for the rest.

Don’t bother raising something to management or HR they don’t take it seriously and all make a joke out of it behind your back. I would avoid this company at all costs. 

Overworked, no overtime pay or time in lieu nor does the company want to hire more staff to cater for the excessive workload. No mental wellbeing support. No training provided but you’re expected to just get on with things. Lack of exciting tasks, quite repetitive - doesn’t feel like there’s a job opportunity/progression. Lots of people demotivated and fed up but scared to speak up.

HR and management are biased, you’d get into trouble if you express your thoughts and they’ll threaten with dismissal. Quite manipulative and treat their staff unfairly.

There is a bonus but not guaranteed - all depends if you hit the set targets. Pay is low and there are no other perks/benefits. There’s limited car park spaces, most of the time it would be parking on streets. If you’re late a couple of times, you’d be in big trouble.

Team mates were mostly nice, friendly & supportive but there are a few people to look out for as company spies. Better to avoid this company - there are more professional workplaces with genuine appreciation and benefits out there.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I have interview, the hiring manager ask me to come again , to decide pay with HR, but when I visit the site on the time and day ,  interview, the director and HR manager was not there ,somebody say on site they are at the pub. 
Just waist my time , if they was not serious, kindly inform other party 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Kindly inform other party if you change mind or busy so the people don't face this situation 


What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I didn't start there , because nobody was present at time of interview 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very bad , irresponsible people

The company is growing at a rapid pace. There  are some  good people there that you can tell who makes the company tick and there are people there that need more training/experience to do a better job.  I suppose things might change in time. But if you get on the wrong side of a few people your out of there. Transport planning is a big problem when they use google maps to plan a artic or a ridged and then ask why are you taking so long. 
Delivery info is next to useless having to ask for more info to do deliveries to the correct place.  
Loading is poor as the yard staff haven’t been trained on how to load a HGV properly ( weight distribution) 

I would strongly recommend avoiding this company. Many members of management are unprofessional and lack basic communication skills. Progression is based more on favoritism than performance, creating a very cliquey and uncomfortable work environment.
Work-life balance is poor, and the pay does not reflect the number of hours required. The HR department is also unprofessional, with confidentiality not being taken seriously. The overall culture is negative, and the high staff turnover speaks volumes. There are certainly better workplaces where employees are respected and valued.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The company offers exposure to lots of areas which are key to individual development 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The company is fast paced and we are required to move quickly with it. But this is also advantageous for growth. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Teams work together well, due to the nature of the business there is sometimes conflict which can often be resolved with the right communication. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Fast paced, varied and no 2 days are ever the same.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Been able to do what you want as there's no real management structure in place. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not having clear instructions or direction from poor management 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Cloak and dagger, everyman for themselves

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Been unable to start/complete jobs due to other departments not competing there's, then you been given the blame.
