Svantaggi
Pay is not great especially early on in your career. Might be expected to move out to the middle of nowhere (Hinkley & Sizewell). Extremely long hours without getting payed. You might be expected to work 60+ hours a week whilst only being contracted and payed for 40. It’s quite sick how thats the culture and everyones learnt to deal with it. Honestly didn’t know it was legal to get away with that but then again this company continues to surprise you everyday. Company praises speaking up, mental health and inclusion but the minute you tell them that you’re being overworked with the amount off hours, the lack off work-life balance and the pay everyone’s silent. Currently doing on the apprentice program and alongside working 60+ hours on-site during the week I’m expected to complete my uni work on time. I’ve accepted that for the duration of the apprenticeship I’m not going to have a life and when I think about it it’s very depressing. I appreciate the opportunity given but being a school leaver meant I had very little insight into the industry. I signed my contract not knowing what it meant. Turns out it meant I was signing up to working slave shifts for way under minimum wage and being told this is what you’re life is now.
