Pros

market pay rate and competitive benefits.

Cons

It used to be a great place to work until 2015. The CEO of this company was new to Agrium and I think the CEO does not have right vision and honestly lacks “patience” as lots of his decision seems to be out of his gut feelings, I think he has been over his head by becoming CEO. Lots of good employee left. The line managers on my site were so afraid to the point that they wouldn’t hire DCS and E&I technicians for months ( worst cost saving strategy). Vice President and middle managers actually created a boys club and were buddies and were really scared to ask any money from president wholesale. I had heard from one of my previous colleagues that one of the plant manager was let go because of alcohol abuse at work (too much stress and lack of direction from executives and the CEO)

Pros

For the area, the pay is decent.

Cons

Management that does not care about the people. No flexibility in working anywhere other than the plant. Outsiders hired before qualified employees. Another merger/selling on the horizon - memo sent out to employees and then they were told it would not happen in 2026. Big changes happen every year such as benefits reduced, people being moved from one position to the other, employees getting fired after one small mistake instead of a warning as it used to be, corporate people leaving/getting fired.
