Pros

Can visit some good countries when fully trained. Easy work.

Cons

There are far too many rules and regulations.

Trainee wages are extremely low and remain low until you have completed a degree. If you don't do a degree, they stay very low.

Working away is always very short notice.

As an engineer trainee, you will get no experience in the office and struggle to move on from this role, as opportunities to progress in the company are very, very rare.

No work on at the moment.

Advice to Management

Management do not understand anything beyond profit/loss.

To keep good new engineers within the company, you need to pay your trainees more. This will ensure fewer people leave.
