Pros

Solid base with core business, cash available. International culture.

Cons

Stringy. Want to grow and beat competition by just wanting it, not prepared to invest into people and resource. Hoping to do everything on the cheap, trying to substitute resource with pressure. Goals and means to achieve goals are miles apart. 99% of the employees come from food science and related fields, struggle to think and operate outside this narrow box. Can only market basic starch products. Lot of fanfare about diversity but it is only about the superficial element: gender, race etc. nothing about skills, training, experience, attitude.

Pros

The low level employees are generally good people that got hired into the current mess.

Cons

Bedford Park plant is suffering from 15 years+ of neglect. The plant is literally falling into the ground as the incredible amount of leaks are dissolving the ground under the foundations. Union contract is strange and puts a large burden on the salary staff to "run" the plant. Corporate is currently in the plant in force running a shadow management team undermining all efforts of the actual plant management.
