Pros

Fellow associates on shop floor Days off

Cons

Terrible management especially the new ones who seen to have no empathy or common sense! Underpaid! Terrible atmosphere and associates very disengaged! Divide between office and shop floor is massive almost like a separate entity! The five principles would be an amazing concept if they were used in the way they should be
