Working at JLR was my worst choice ever. You literally work to seconds. Can't just have a quick fag brake, if you do that the line stop. On nights you have 3 brakes. 10/15/10 minutes. Get to the smoking area one and a half minute. Smoke a fag quickly 3 min, go to the toilet 3 min and that was it. You can rush back to your place. On the "big" brake you can have two fags, and back in the same. The job what they giving you is not hard, physically not hard. You'll have about a 40-50 second workload and just repeat it all night/day long. Boring as hell. Steps are simple, but monotonous. If the line stops you get the broom and start sweeping up, if it's a big failure get the foam cleaners and clean whatever you can. Still no quick cigi brakes. !!!!!!!!. So if you have a decent job don't leave it just because of the money, or if you have a goal set up in your life that's different. But we are all different someone like to work as a brainless, without challenging things, someone not. It's up to you guys. But if you come and you suffer I did worn you!!! )) peace

Granted production line work won't suit everyone. You do have to make the choice sometimes between eating/smoking/peeing etc. However, I would personally like the shorter breaks that are ALL paid breaks rather than a half hour unpaid break that I currently get. Less time at work equals more time at home is how I see at it. Short breaks and working fast equals more production which equals a lean process which equals jobs. It's the automotive business I'm afraid. Try Toyota then you'll see JLR isn't so bad.

Work here can be repetitive but that's to be expected and it's what you sign up for to start with. Opportunities to progress are there for those who seek them or you can just do what you've been trained to do with very little stress for good money.

If you do your research including reading ALL the pages on here like I did and go into the job with an open mind and enthusiasm then it will be very rewarding. It was the best decision job wise I've ever made.

After 12 months and 2 pay rises you'll be on 30k (if on shifts) for a standard 39hr (36 Solihull) week.

Work is fast and monotonous. You also have to tow the line when it comes to the systems or downtime -grab a rag and look busy. But you can challenge things that you feel aren't right or could be improved.

Like I said, it's not for everyone. But if you've got a good work ethic and attitude and don't have a particular trade/career then I'd definitely recommend it.
