The grass is always greener.... - Avis employé Quality Engineer Hydram Engineering

early finish on a friday

very low pay across factory

Clean canteen, fairly clean welding shop some of the lads are good but long term employees will stab you in the back when they get a chance.

Shift work have no life earlies , backs , nights . If you work on days get peanuts paid have to go on 3 shifts to get a 25% shift allowance basic rate £9.50 an hour and they will make you work for that literally be a slave there . Cameras watching you . Enormous pressure from the shop floor manager and a supervisor. There is a target of 350 pounds in a shift wich they expect you to do you get a barcode with your name on it and have to log on and log off when the jobs finished so they can see your performnce . If your too slow there is no chance to get a contract an they can literally tell you option your speed or you know where the door is. A lot of favouritism . The favourites are put on easy jobs to make £350 in a day or even more thats how they get a pay rise at the end of finacial year .With the help of production manager others are left out who work very hard it is unfair . Always looking for people beacuse no one wants to be treated like a dirt especially foreign national workers who are used and abused threated to be sakced by production manager with gray hair and a supervisor with A pony tail. I have myself heard a number of times how a supervisor said those swear word useless Poles remember they work so hard to get you a wage paid while you sit and talk badly about them disgraceful. Before finishing my review want to mention one more thing before the camers were installed a supervisor with pony tail used to bring stuff from home get it welded repaired and then get paid for that outside Hydram .
