Not a good place to work
Production Operative (Current Employee) - Kendal, Cumbria - 25 April 2021
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedThe job itself is quite tedious and boring. Spend most of the time cleaning down, as production runs vary although are mainly on the small side. Any job here is insecure with terms of employment changing regularly to fit with the Directors increasingly wild demands. Mainly on the "save money" front.Over the last year, the turnover has been quite incredible, with redundancies, walkouts, instant resignations and everything in-between. My advice would be only to take a job here if you're really desperate and you aren't leaving a good secure job in the first place. Once in, you'll be left to your own devices to figure out how to operate machinery or do the actual job they want you to do as training doesn't really happen here...Due to the age of the building (and its location), animal pests are common within. Don't be surprised to see flying ants, rats and black bugs whilst on shift. Speaking of pests, every shift seems to contain a multitude of snitches so watch out.
Pros
Sizeable car park, shower facilities
Cons
Constant redundancies, job insecurity, animal pests, snitches, Director

Strange place to work
Manager (Former Employee) - Kendal, Cumbria - 24 June 2020
If you really need work and can find nothing else fine, it's money end of the day.
The culture is strange, and demands placed Upon staff are unreasonable.
Pay is basic, and 20% less than where it needs to be at least. They do like to "penny pinch'". Management is all over the place and what the owner says goes. However, the owner can't actually make his mind up half of the time when he is not being nasty that is.
Location is wonderful, surround by green fields and hills.
Pros
Location
Cons
Making products for kids of a reasonable quality

Not a nice place to work.
Production Operative (Former Employee) - Kendal, Cumbria - 16 March 2020
The company has no sense of itself. Zero organization, terrible communication, no real direction, zero training, safety is largely irrelevant, production is everything, building needs serious investment, huge staff turnover rates, nobody really knows their jobs as they are all doing 3-4 people's jobs to save wage costs, numerous pest issues - rats/insects, terrible management, constant job redundancies with little/zero notice/reasoning for the people affected. Glad to have finished.
The only decent thing I can think of, is the workforce are all good people who will try their best to help you - even if neither of you are entirely sure what it is that you're actually supposed to be doing as nobody has ever shown you how to do the job. Usually you are left to figure it out how all the machines work by yourself, once you figure it out via trial & error you can then consider yourself fully trained & will probably be training 2-3 new people within the next month as people will probably be leaving through no fault of their own.
All in all - if you absolutely HAVE to work somewhere then work here, if there is ANY other job opportunity available then I'd strongly suggest taking the other job.
The sad part is that it did used to be a very nice place to work, can't see it staying open much longer.

Fast - Paced Productive Work Place
Administration Officer (Former Employee) - Kendal, Cumbria - 28 February 2020
This is a happy place to work; with a can do attitude you can enjoy additional day to day activities in a competitive up and coming Factory.
This is a great place to learn and develop your skills when you show initiative as become more involved in the company infrastructure. Managerial practice is flexible and understanding; firm but fair when required.
I believe opening your mind to other activities can be quite challenging; though this is required in order to keep improvement and productivity.
The most enjoyable part of the job is that everyone is part of the same team no one individual is a number. This means that people of all positions happily converse with the owner and management; as all people's ideas are important.
