Pros

There is a good Company Car Scheme, you get a new car for family and friends every 6 months. It is a good workplace where you work with intelligent colleagues.

Cons

- No natural progression, apply for promotion. They give the impression they care about your development but really they care about very few. - MK location

Pros

Factory, fast paced team work. Incentive for being on time and at work every work day, and a on site workout spot.

Cons

No appreciation for the real team player, always being watched , even after seeing and acknowledging that the job is being done better than expected. Favorites among the supervisors and employees.
