Pros

Great company culture and positive individuals willing to help others

Cons

The company is going through changes due to the recent merger, leading to larger workloads, little direction and tighter deadlines. Doing your job is no longer good enough.

Thank you for your review. We’re happy to hear about your experience with Nutrien’s corporate culture and the positive attitude of our employees! We recognize that mergers of this scale are complex and can be difficult to adjust to; however, we feel strongly that clarity will increase and direction will become stronger with time. As you’ve highlighted, training and mentorship are important. In the near future, more information on various training and development programs will be shared with the organization as we grow and evolve.

Pros

The pay and benefits are definitely competitive (amongst Southern Louisiana plants), and compared to other places in the country we definitely do better than most. At present, I have little to no problem with most people over me. And being in operations, most of us end up liking most others in operations. Also at present, because it hasn't always been this way, there's an ex-operator at the head of our department, instead of their normal choice: an engineer (who doesn't understand operations or shift work first hand). I'm a fairly easy to get along with person and don't actively look for the worst in people; so, factoring that in, most people that work there are likable and easy to get along with. The stuff we make, also, could definitely be worse in terms of majorly worrying about accidents, though there are a couple vessels under tremendous pressure and others events that could take place that wouldn't be good.

Cons

They take and whittle away things on a consistent basis. I'll have 9 years of accrued pension at the end of the year, but as of 2020 there'll be no more pension. So, that's gone. We used to have, as shift workers, what we referred to as 'floating holidays' since operations didn't get to have those days off; we could choose when to take those 'holidays.' This was definitely a big deal to me and several others. (They do now pay us for two of those three days, but as implied, they saved a wee-bit by cutting the pay for the third one, so they cut it. (And they also saved a little by moving it to pay and not leaving it as floating time off). There are several other places - small to moderate perks - that they're slowly killing off. I suppose this is usual for the times, but that doesn't make it any better when it happens.

Pros

Awesome benefits. PTO was a little bit lacking, 2 weeks until you hit your 5 year mark, if I remember right. Then they give you another week.

Cons

At the location level, your experience here is really going to be dependent on your location manager. If you have problems, do not expect any help from up above. Location manager also decides how a bonus is divided (if a location bonus is earned). They of course glean the largest percentage, and distribute the rest as they see fit. The 'safety culture' is just meaningless words. I had an injury that required a doc visit, and the safety guy at the location would not give me information for workers comp, or let me report it, as he didn't want it on his record. In this case, I did get help from HR, since I forced the issue higher. Pay was ok for industry standard once you got some experience, but what they offer the new guys is a joke. I had a bad experience in a very toxic, dangerous work environment, but there are other locations with very content, even happy employees with company pride.
