Pros

Great people in the trenches with you

Cons

Dysfunctional management. Most of the positive reviews you see here are by the HR, Plant Managers or CI leads. Owners are good people. Management has decent people but some really embarrassing leaders and mentality that they just live with. Seems like the trend in plant management is you need to curse and belittle your people. The old Ormont manager was shuffled and he was an excellent leader. Don't believe the kool aid you see on these reviews. As any one of the 15 office turnover that's happened in the last 16 months.

Pros

Good pay and benefits. Flexible hybrid work.

Cons

Constant layoffs. I was laid off 7 months after starting, while on a business trip in a Kroger parking lot, with no explanation given. Layoff process was pathetic, no communication and had to threaten a lawyer to receive my severance payout. American politics are often discussed by Canadian upper management. Foul, unprofessional language is frequently used. Very unprofessional, unstable work environment. I would recommend looking anywhere else for employment.
