Pros

*amazing products at discounted prices * uniforms in plant, are cleaned by a service. No need to worry about what to wear * some really engaged co-workers who seriously care about pets and their position at the company * free lunches from time to time * provide freebies, Gatorade and other items to help keep hydrated and cooled down in summer.

Cons

* High turnover in management and plant associates * Associates are not valued anymore - Just a number! * The changeover and "Mars" ways are ruining the business, reputation, and dedication of Associates. * No longer the family like atmosphere that the original company's had. * No job security, people that have been there for 15+ years are worried they could lose their job's at any time for invalid reasons * They have lost so many of the best employees to ever have worked there because of the toxic work environment * A VERY TOXIC WORK ENVIRONMENT!! * Management have favourites and treat them better than the rest of the team. Not all are treated the same! Don't you say anything to your Manager or HR because you'll be putting a target on your back! The Managers will find ways to get rid of older employees or people with health issues! They want the team to be mainly compromised of "Millennials" or "Generation Z". If you are a "Generation Y" or "Baby Boomer" forget it! You're TOO OLD to be working at Royal Canin! You will just cost them money and cause issues in the long term! * They rarely promote from within, they bring in new hires from Mars, especially for management positions! It WAS a wonderful place to work! People were so HAPPY * * High turnover in management and plant associates * Associates are not valued anymore - Just a number! * The changeover and "Mars" ways are ruining the business, reputation, and dedication of Associates. * No longer the family like atmosphere that the original company's had. * No job security, people that have been there for 15+ years are worried they could lose their job's at any time for invalid reasons * They have lost so many of the best employees to ever have worked there because of the toxic work environment * A VERY TOXIC WORK ENVIRONMENT!! * Management have favourites and treat them better than the rest of the team.

It WAS a wonderful place to work! People were so HAPPY to go to work! It was like one big family! Management treated everyone fairly, we got bonus (good ones too), we got profit sharing, free pet food, free corporate wear, lots of free lunches, annual Gala, Christmas luncheon/dinner with your team. Plus management would give each employee a little gift at Xmas, on birthdays the team would take you for lunch, get you a cake and more! Not anymore!!

Pros

Solid company being in Mars Inc. Excellent product but is priced too high compared to competitors.

Cons

Newer leadership lacks respect for associates. Lost the culture of Royal Canin and its founding. Promote people whom are friends and not most qualified. Regional Managers are very inconsistent from team to team. It’s all about the money and less about the pets.

Pros

- Well paid - Great benefits - Flexible schedule

Cons

- Toxic workplace! Lots of emotion-based decision making, personal feelings getting in the way of professional needs, company politics, bad culture of gossip. Very unprofessional. - Lack of effective communication - Different managers will give instructions that disagree, cannot decide on a single decision
