Bulmers Employee Reviews

During my time at Bulmers company I have learned a lot and gained new skills. As a forklift driver I was not only a driver. I had to you a company system to scan products to find the place where should I transfer them from factory line to an exact warehouses and lines. There were different brands of products and amounts to sort out each shift. I was also loading and unloading lorries. As a one of the employees I had to drive and take care of a forklift. Plan my duties. Also while I was driving I had to look after myself and others to avoid any risks of accidents and not to damage the products on the pallets. During my time there I have improved my English, driving and working with others.

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

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

Productive and target focused

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.
