Pros

If you can just come to work for a good paycheck it is a great place to be. The pay is good for the work scope. The people you get to work with are great. The culture and values that are promoted from the company are positive.

Cons

Horribly mismanaged, lack of communication and planning, almost non existent training. Severe gaps between culture and reality. The company loves to check their equity boxes, yet are not actually an inclusive work place. They do not fulfill their duties to accommodate, are not welcoming to minorities or women. No benefit coverage if you have disabilities or medical conditions. Safety is a huge ongoing issue, it is not a priority when production or time is involved, only when its convenient does it matter. I was excited for the opportunity to work for this company as it sounded great, yet I feel like I was tricked. I gave up different opportunities to work here, yet the reality of the environment and how the place is run is completely opposite of what is promoted. I would never recommend any of my friends or family to work here, and I am happy to now have experiences on my resume so I can find employment elsewhere. This is not somewhere you can spend your career working if you have any self respect or pride in what you do. If you can just turn off the care factor and collect your pay, then you wont have a problem.

Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting areas in which you feel we can improve. We’re disappointed to hear of your experience with inclusivity in the workplace, as we have several programs in place to support and enhance employee experience in the areas you’ve highlighted. We provide Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) for women, young employees, LGBTQ+/allies and veterans, and are always willing to create new networks based on interest from our employees. We strive to create an environment where everyone is accepted regardless of age, sex, race, background or personal beliefs – this is in alignment with our engagement principles of community and inclusion, as well as our Respect in the Workplace Policy. In addition, safety is a core value and is foundational in everything we do. It is always a priority over all else. With regards to benefits for those with medical conditions, it is difficult to answer without details. We can confirm that we offer comprehensive medical coverage from the date of hire for all regular employees. Like all of our benefit plans in Canada, medical coverage is offered in a flexible format allowing employees to tailor coverage to their personal circumstances.

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.
