Pros

There are absolutely no pros to working with this company, diabolical hourly rate for online pickers, on your feet for 4 hours before getting a 20 mins break, and all for minimum wage? Picking rate is 110 items per hour, and woe betide anyone who falls below that !!! It's like working for Scrooge, and now more divisions added to Ambient section to collect? for the same money....absolutely disgusting

Pros

Friendly colleagues and nice working atmosphere but always pressure from above.

Cons

Not being listened to is the worst thing and knowing that you are quicker and more efficient if left to get on with it. Hard work and commitment not rewarded and too many changes of systems that are not improving the output.

Pros

Great environment to work in. Optimistic employees. Fantastic pay. My job is pretty straightforward and I've even become close with workers in the other departments.

Cons

The hours that I do are really early and as a student, it's difficult to stay awake once I've finished because the job is tiring itself.
