Pros

The only thing I can think of is leaving.

Cons

Bad management who are completely clueless. It’s hilarious they have being working on implementing MRP for years but the people leading it don’t have a clue how it works. I was relocated from another end of the country and basically lied to by the management about the role I would be undertaking currently, ideas stolen off me by one of the senior managers and passed off as his own disgraceful behaviour, I would not recommend these as a good company to work for they waste millions of pounds a year of tax payers money on dead inventory disgusting.
