MSD reviews

Apparently pretty typical of this kind or workplace, the divide between unionized and non-unionized personnel is cumbersome. Any issues with personnel, workload, role shifts, or schedule changes are extremely difficult to navigate because of employee restrictions in place and interpretations of the union contracts. Because of this, every personnel related issue becomes a negotiation to navigate, even though both sides of the divide usually sincerely want to help. Group managers are forced to be bosses rather than leaders and just have to wait for peaceful pushback from their employees, or support from their own managers or HR, about any decisions made. Employees aren't necessarily difficult, but rather, the lines drawn are difficult to manage. The systems in place are outdated and convoluted. Systems used for ordering supplies, data management, SOP authoring and revision, error investigations, etc… are outdated or convoluted compared to peer companies. For a site as big as it is, IT and HR are completely understaffed and absolutely cannot support the site's needs.

Work Overload, very poor management, no respect for employees, target driven culture, double standards, blame culture. "Never let your teammate fail" is just a sentence, nothing else. "It's Not What You Know. It's Who You Know" can describe your chance for promotion or permanent contract, no educational support, management never listened experienced employees, they knew better, quality avoiding decision making. Very bad training process, MFG support people with no knowledge about the process - mostly graduates. No support for volunteers, I had to book holidays to participate charity event over the weekend. No perspective, after 4 yrs and successful campaign of new product we were replaced by more experienced staff from other areas and moved to Warehouse with immediate effect. I got really good experience there but left because of frustration. Avoid this place.
