Report
I worked there as a machinist and the machines were in ok condition I would not work there or recommend working there as the staff take quite a while to make you feel welcome The worst thing there was the people in charge who were very much 1990's shop floor bullies who shout and wave their arms about like a small child having a temper tantrum The lads on shop floor were ruled by fear and heard many people complain about the people in charge Also it is a very long shift of 12 hours with only one break right in the middle of the shift Very bad staff planning also as I was on a double sided edgebander with an automatic stacker but I had to feed the panels myself and had no one working with me but the double sided edgebander near me had an automatic stacker and feeder but there were two men on that machine yet I was left on my own after 2 days of so called training In a nutshell the lads were ok the machines were ok the management were very much not ok and even made a comment of you've not worked with someone like me before.no and I never will again.
