Paneltex-Ltd

It’s a decent place to work. The work is not too difficult and most of the people are nice. If you need it, there is plenty of overtime and the job security is high. The company has had lay offs recently, as of me writing this, but in my opinion this is always a last resort for Paneltex. I have worked here for three years and tomorrow is my last day here. I have met all kinds of people, some who will be friends for life.

Now the cons… The staff overturn is tremendous. Maintaining a stable team is an endless endeavour. Communication between departments is notably poor. Management are nowhere to be seen. Targets and demands are thrown at you with little knowledge of the manufacturing operations, and no knowledge of the circumstances on the line that might affect quotas being met. There are no incentives or benefits to working here and so you are often left feeling undervalued and under appreciated, but this is the norm with bigger companies like this. 

Management is currently undergoing changes and it is my hope that things will change for the better with the owner taking the reigns a bit more (I have spoken with the owner a few times and he seems like a genuinely decent man). I wish the best for this company and everyone here.

Come here if you need a job, but better yourself the first chance you get. Overall, my personal opinion of working at this company is positive and I wished there were more incentives for me to stay, but unfortunately I don’t think this can ever be considered a job for life when weighing up my personal circumstances and the things I am looking for in life.

Supervisor spends the day looking down at his phone. There's no promotion for fabricator welders, health and safety is optional but they have a really long comprehensive induction. The pay is the worst in the area.  I really don't recommend taking the job unless you haven't got any other options, everyone has some kind of health issue which manifests as snappy colleagues becoming aggressive over nothing, grudges etc. the blame culture is rife here as most people are out of their depth, this will knock any kind of ambition from you quickly. 

Nobody here seems to care, top down toxic environment, typical oversized corporate soul destroyer 

A typical day at work is doing the same thing everyday .I learned that when you try to speak up you get silenced a lot you can't be yourself becouse of the no talking rules not even to coworkers that's a struggle when your superviser stands talking allday infront of you then see them walking round allday and actually dodging work. Some of the managers were ok never really had a massive problem with any of them .The hardest part of the job was standing for 8 hours a day near and open and closing shutter in winter when it's cold and having to prep or sand all day a paintshop and been told to just get on with I never really moaned about the door but the people who did were silenced .I'd say the most enjoyable was working with coworkers they are what make it easy in a bad situation 

This company is growing and evolving constantly at an incredible pace, like any growing business this can be challenging at times. However, every day at Paneltex is a learning day. If you want job security this is definitely the company to work for, with no signs of slowing down. 

Management are very supportive, and the Managing Director Chris is  genuinely invested in the people. You are not considered a number at Paneltex but classed as a individual. 

Overall the people are friendly, supportive, and approachable from team to team. I would highly recommend anyone to join this wonderful workplace. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Early finish friday staff canteen

Dogged constantly to finnish on time by guard watching you

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Really bad structure is all wrong worker's paid less than people who do nothing loyalty or hard work not rewarded

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Start at a scheduled of timed panic worked to death for next to no pay and if materials not there it still needs to be caught up really shody management

Day to day tasks are monotonous and very physically demanding deu  to pore planing by team leader . I have learned nothing of actual value to progress in the company . Management is clueless and lackluster . Workplace culture is very shrewd and closed off no inclusivity what so ever . The hardest part of the job wasn't the hard labor but the insults that were yelled at me to make everyone laugh . There are enjoyable parts of the job it's dirty hard labor .

Abysmal company to work for.  One of the worst in Hull.  Arrogant and aloof, with a low opinion of their workforce.  Not one person I met was happy there, and a major reason they will never be a top shelf company, nor will they ever attract the best staff.  Health and safety a laughing stock, the place is a death trap.  People use it as a stop gap until something better comes along and all the best workers have left. Abandon all hope if you are unfortunate enough to suffer working for them!

Paneltax is a multi million pound company it as no job prospects one of the worse places to pay as low wage as possible the management as no clue what there doing and how to treat people how this company is still going I don't know u are lucky to get a 5p pay rise a year and they think it's a good pay rise the company always lyes to people offering them good pay rises but nobody ever gets them even agency staff will not stay at the company its that bad 

Worked there almost 1 year and was awful,was supposed to get trained up in engineering but instead they just want you to sweep up, grab items for them and do all of there boring jobs that they dont want to do, they dont teach you anything and the money isnt worth the hours you do.

The wages are different for every employee even though same qualifications and experience. The organisation is very selfish, everyone is only in it for themselves and not to help eachother, my supervisor never trained me up and expected me to be like the others without having no knowledge or experience. Very unreliable company.
