The graduate programme at McCain Foods was challenging and rewarding.
A typical day at work usually involves completing any mechanical drawings required by the engineering manager or superintendents. At times i usually assist artisans during their daily maintenance tasks. I have a good understanding with my co-workers and I am very respectful of their positions in the company. One of my key learnings at McCain Foods, was being able to produce mechanical drawings for manufacturing using AutoCAD 2019. During the programme, I really enjoyed the coaching sessions with the powerhouse consultant. In these sessions, invaluable techniques were taught. The most challenging aspect of the job was during the modification of a very critical section of the sweetcorn line, during the programme I had to be responsible for the installation of a new pump and trough. The modification was successful and increased yield.
Pros: Great culture
Cons: Lack of guidance

Good place to start your career at
I have a good relationship with my co-workers, however Management does not integrate with the staff. There is a gross lack of communication between departments. The most challenging part of the job was not being informed of new products , competitions, promotions etc. and being in the Call Centre and faced with a customer query and not having any information often looked incompetent as we would not know what to advise the customer.
Pros: It is a large International company
Cons: There was no room for growth or promotion
