Bulmers Employee Review

Toxic workplace

Manager (Former Employee) - Clonmel, County Tipperary - 27 May 2021

Some really good people working there but the higher up the management chain you look, the worse it gets. All major decisions made from Scotland so doesn't say much for site management.Had a really good reputation but the current culture is toxic.Operators treated like 2nd class citizens and no appreciation shown for the great work done.Budget for investment in facilities or machinery only released for emergency breakdowns that stop production otherwise its just a patch job.

Pros

Its a job, sets the bar really low for other jobs

Cons

Treat staff like indentured servants

Domestic and International Marketing (Former Employee) - Clonmel, County Tipperary - 15 August 2017

This review is of no use to you as Bulmers has gone through a number of iterations since. However, it was a superb place to work at the time and Clonmel was a great place to live.

Pros

Great leader

Cons

Away from main marketing hub in Dublin

Production Operator (Former Employee) - Clonmel - 21 February 2014

I found working for Bulmers very interesting and typical of how you would imagine a high volume quality product is produced and bottled and packaged for the worldwide markets. Operating and maintaining the packout machinery and keeping a clean and safe workspace carrying out quality checks and data entry. It was a friendly environment and everyone was conscientious about there work. I had no problem fitting in.
