Pros

Good products and ok benefits.

Cons

Major restructuring has made resources all but impossible to get. Little to no money is being put back into the business. Competition is investing money, adding more reps and making it nearly impossible to grow our business. Accounts are leaving because we have so many issues with billing. Multiple invoices, accounts unfairly being put on credit hold and our accounting not answering the phone when accounts try to pay etc.. Just a nightmare. Morale is at an all time low. No one has confidence in the company right now. Management is in the US and obviously pays little attention to the smaller Canadian business.

Pros

Good fringe benefits. Above average insurance.

Cons

Very toxic work environment. Company promotes work life balance however meetings are scheduled during lunch and at 5:00pm. People are made to stand in daily plant meetings, no chairs in the rooms. Particularly hard on shop floor staff who work 12hr shifts. I NEVER had time to take a lunch hour the entire time I worked there. Phone calls at home daily/nightly(middle of the night) and almost every day every weekend as OTLs are poorly trained. Company promotes inclusion however Americans are bullied particularly by hispanics within the company. Company touts multiculturalism but does no training on dealing with other cultures. Entire plant Planning staff turned over in less than 2 years. Very stressful work environment cause by high-school like drama by LT. Managers are routinely put in PEP for issues months after they occur. No support whatsoever from Planning manager, HR or Leadership Team. Training is ALL online, when asked LT for help with SAP questions...response was to GOOGLE it. Direct manager was initially a STA with major inflated sense of self. Final manager was novice at managing people and very childish. Again, very toxic work environment overall.
