The Role
Fantastic staff throughout company, however there is a lack of variety in the job and a lot of forced overtime only paid at basic rate.
Very friendly staff who all worked hard.
Managers are willing to help if your have problems and are approachable
Far too busy, constantly rushed. 11 hour + days with 30 minute unpaid break sometimes to busy to take lunch.
