Pros

Money is what they give you

Cons

Overworked and underpaid gets thrown around alot in the job sector. This company refedine what that means. If you think you are overworked then you have no idea. Company ceos and fat cats make millions while you make peanuts. Senior management will not help out if you are struggling. No team atmosphere, no shared common goal i.e leave it for someone else to do is common place

Pros

-The staff that are lab analyst are the best part of the company. They are hard working and great to work with.

Cons

-Management is horrible. The thought of them being in that role is quiet surprising. They are poor in financial aspect; meaning that they do not know how to run a business... a well known commercial business. The Edmonton location ruins the reputation and brand of ALS. - Couple of the lab supervisors are not helpful. They have horrible people skills and lack leadership skills. They aren't approachable nor can manage they manage a team. They need knew supervisors. -The Health and Safety rep lacks the skill to facilitate a safe environment. - There is no learning curve. Meaning you will be doing that same thing day in and day out. They force you to learn more, but at the wrong time and they neglect to listen.

Thank you for your comments and it is unfortunate that your employee experience of ALS as an employer was not as we endeavor it to be. We understand that not everyone has access to the information behind the rationale for business decisions as management navigated through a challenging business environment and moving laboratories in 2017; and your comments serve to highlight the importance of ongoing communication with employees and soliciting feedback. To this end, we are in the process of implementing a global engagement survey in 2018. We also have a variety of avenues through which employees can voice concerns regarding their worksite and environment such as our integrity hotline, respectful workplace policy and our safety hazard reporting process. We encourage all employees to utilize them when they feel it is warranted. It is true that the majority of the work we do is seasonal, which means that a certain number of employees are provided with temporary employment. We make every effort to be honest about this when hire people on so they can make the right choice for them. H&S is a core value at ALS and our safety performance in this exceeds both industry and national averages, our Edmonton laboratory upholds these values and has been exceeding H&S expectations. We do appreciate your feedback and will take it forward with us as we are continually looking for ways to make ALS a better place to work.
