Scott-Bader

What is the best part of working at the company?
Advertised great bonuses, company is failing, no investment and very minimal bonuses paid. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
You will be setup to fail. Lots of family and friends of friends working for the company. Resistance to change, the teams need to be rebuilt. However the purpose and non investment show they will wind down and merely become a UK distributor and non manufacturing plant. Assets are too old

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Worst I have ever been at. Everyone feels entitled. No real ambition. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Bitter, talking behind your back. Again, worst place ever to be.

Amazing company. Comradeship, team spirit and openness is 2nd to none. Everyone really friendly, charity day given to employees every year. Real sense of belonging here. Employees have a voice thro various bodies and are listened to. Charity vouchers are given out yearly along with various performance bonuses. Continuous personnel improvement is delivered through ongoing training. Relaxed but professional atmosphere in production. Great workforce, great managers, great ethos and leadership.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Good working environment. Great people to work with. Very positive.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Senior Management. If you are in the circle of trust then you will advance your career , otherwise look elsewhere.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Two tier culture. Gap between shop floor and senior management increases  year on year.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Email driven. Over reliance on email and Teams.

There are folk that live where they work but there is a definite disconnect between departments. When describing how various departments feel about their environment, it can feel like a different company. Despite describing themselves as helping an employee to advance themselves, it certainly depends on where you work within the company. If you don't really care and just want to plod along to retirement, they do have a decent pension. 

Low starting salary but a good company to start your career with. A pleasant work environment without too much pressure. Advancement opportunities are limited due to the size of the company. Current role has limited responsibility and the day to day can get very similar once you have been at the company a few years.

Most of the work whilst I was there was develping accelerated test methods for materials testing in adverse environments.  It's a cooperative company so there is a real community feel to it, which is great if you fit in with the group, but can be awkward otherwise.

No two days are the same which is good, the people are pleasant and the ethos of the company is good. Although not as challenging as I first found the role there are still challenges to be had.

Scott Bader is a brilliant company to work for. The work is varied everyday and the people who you work with make it a great place to work. Very good interaction between the departments and everyone is very friendly. Would recommend Scott Bader.

A typical day is the loading and un-loading of 10 - 15 Tankers. taking in deliveries of Raw Materials and storage vessels  The Management were very open with the workforce which gained respect from the workforce.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing,employee ownership back biting at its worst bullying  at its 
Worst ,every one trying to push each others buttons


What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Co-workers will set you up to fail
