The job was great worked on the decorating department but management are vile, they give a good impression when you go for interview that they are really nice but please do not be fooled by this, they have no respect for any member of staff and talk to you like your a piece of dirt and threaten with ending employment if you do not do as they say or say something they do not like (they play with people lively hoods and do not care in the slightest) if you go to the toilet you get told off and they say you have to have counselling for almost everything( which is just another telling off ),you are not allowed to talk if you do they tell you off, if you are not sitting at your bench exactly on the dot at the beginning of your shift you get told off even if you are setting up your tools at your bench, if you want a happy work life stay well away from this company they have no respect for any of their workers and due to this they have lost a lot of excellent workers who can not take any more, also the hr have no idea what they are doing, you get no support from them at all many employees have made complaints about how they are treated and they do nothing but defend the horrible management then they work against you if they do not like you so they can get rid of you also, seen them do this to a few people while I was there and these were people with families but they do not care and I have also just seen people get up grab there stuff and get out of there as they can not take anymore from the vile management STAY WELL AWAY if you want a good working environment.people have sat there crying in this place due to it making them bad and still they do nothing.
always after employing people because they can not keep any staff they are the most hated management I have ever come across and this is due to how vile they are.
They actually think been management is all about walking up and down the factory floor ALL DAY making sure that NO ONE leaves there bench or NO ONE is talking to each other, basically if you are not sitting at your bench and your head is not facing down doing your work at all times your in trouble.
Honestly guys and girls trust me on this one you will have a work life of misery.

This is a horrible place to work, the senior management has no idea how the jobs should be done, middle management are just puppets and team leaders are clueless bullies who are put in leadership roles in areas they have never worked, good experienced staff are forced out through poor pay and unnecessary pressure to be replaced by untrained staff with no decent staff to train them and then constantly attacked for their inability to do a job they haven’t been trained to do but blame ALWAYS filters down to the floor staff because the childish arrogant people in charge cannot face the fact that this once thriving business is now on the brink of collapse because they have constantly mismanaged the day to day running of the site, they want quantity and quality but it’s hard to get both especially when you have an overzealous megalomaniac standing behind you with a whip. Take a look at the job advertisements for Steelite, one of the things they add as a bonus is sick pay, I was there for five years never knew anybody who had been given anything other than statutory sick pay and warnings and the threat of being sacked for being off sick. Everyone who works there agrees that Steelite’s slogan should be “minimum wage maximum effort”.


I worked in the decorating department, the people on the floor were lovely and I would not change a thing about them, the management on the other hand are disrespectful and unapproachable.

I only worked here 2 months before I handed in my notice. In this time I had a bereavement in the family, when telling a team leader about this, they showed no sympathy and proceeded to be extremely rude and sarcastic, the same can be said for all members of management. This has had a huge negative impact on my mental health. 

Before leaving I had a meeting with a member of management as they stated I had complaints about my “attitude”. I was beyond appalled by this, I then proceeded to explain that their attitude was disgusting. 

I then handed in my notice and they did not even try to stop me, this was also met with sarcasm. 

Overall nasty place to work. Pushed to work extremely hard, and over work yourself. 

The only positive about this is the fellow work colleagues and HR, who have been extremely supportive.

Good place to work, you do have your good days aswell as bad but that goes for everywhere. I have worked here for quite afew years and seen quite afew changes some good some bad but all to make the working environment a better place to work. Alot of the Managers are easy to talk to and workers are lovely. HR are always there to listen and if they  can help, they will do their best to resolve any issues. One thing I can say is that there are some bad reviews about Steelite but the majority of them are from people with a grudge so will write nasty things. All I can say is that alot of people have left but then wanted to come back, or have come back so to me that says it all, Steelite must be a decent place to work.

I worked in the HR team and it was very clear to see that the Directors had no appreciation of the skills of the workforce. They made lots of redundancies and now have to beg for people to join. This was a very poor management decision which has left them in trouble now. The work force is highly skilled, but they are let down by an upper management team with no strategic skills.  Unfortunately, this has always been the case and demonstrates the disadvantages of upper managers remaining in ivory towers. Directors were far too interested in being treated as though they are royal. If they kept all their skilled workers and let the directors go, the company would be in a better place.

Typical day at steelite friendly environment hard working fast past. typical day at work evolves being on time checking the log sheet for what the day ahead involves.. I leaned how to work within a three man team and no how they think about the role they  undertake on a Dailey basis. work place culture is calm and  relaxing we all no we are paid for the job in hand so we pull together as a team and just get the job done. hardest part of the job I do within kiln placing is the heat and change overs as some of the setters are quite heavy. most enjoyable is knowing our work is done wright and the products are placed properly.

Managers stop this company from having great reviews,  they don't trust anyone,  other than their favourites.  When I worked there it was great, but then they started to promote useless people into high profile positions,  which never works.
The people (shop floor workers) are brilliant, just let down by their managers.  
Managers and team leaders who are  good , have their good traits knocked out of them by their senior manager.
Every shop floor worker tries to do their best and be good to everyone else.  It's a shame they have let so much experienced workers leave , or be sacked  for silly things. 

Management are constantly watching you like a hawk to the point you arent even allowed to conversate with colleagues. They expect you to work 8 hours a day like a robot and not talk to a single soul. God forbid you do get caught talking you're straight in for what they call as 'counselling' which is like a verbal warning before you get a disciplinary. The people that work there are lovely it's a shame nothing is done about the management on there and how they treat their hard working staff. 2 years was more than enough for me on there, I did the best thing to get out..

A terrible place to work management wise. Clueless team leaders. Theyre telling you one thing one day then something completely different the week after and then deny theyve changed their mind.
They fail to see jobs done in a sloppy manner but will pull you up about using initiative and getting things done. One team leader will tell you to do something and another team leader will immediately tell you to do something else. No confidence in the team leaders abilities whatsoever....they seriously need their roles questioning.....i wouldnt trust them to walk my dog.
Anyway....enough about the decorating dept.

I have never worked for a company like this. They promote people who are useless and cant do the jobs that they are put in charge of, ie maintenence  . These said people blag there way upto a higher paid job,  then have there own friends (pets) . Who they then give all the overtime too and also let them do hardly anything in the week and then get 6hours sat/sun . Demoosh , blaggers and chancers. . They should take a leaf out of really good employers handbooks and treat us like  decent people instead of how they think they should. Management has really gone down in the last 2 years.
