Lazy undereducated trainers

The trainers struggle themselves to do anything with troubleshooting..The team leaders are even worse as they have no clue either.They confuse trainees and blame them later.

Danones a good company to work for, great people and the staff as well, I call it my second home. I try to leave, being there for 8 years going onto 9, there are more opputunitys out there. But because the pay will be going fortnightly, automatic payments will be also changed.
