Actom John Thompson Reviews

 

Growth is possible but very slow

On a daily basis we have safety talks (toolbox talks) done before work commences and we also monthly meetings to discuss issues that employees might be encountering regarding their work or any issues they might come across. Dealing co-workers can be a bit challenging at times because they would always expect the safety department to solve each and every issue that they have. they also have a tendency of putting HSE department under huge chunks of pressure, so that creates a bit of tension when they don't always get what they want and that causes them to rebel and not comply n terms of safety since they were not satisfied

Pros: There is opportunity for growth
Cons: Long hours with a low wage/salary
