Pros

- water sale, but people need to stop consuming this much water bottles and stop putting all this plastic into the environment. - it is insanely fast paced, so you will be on your own in most projects which will teach you a lot. so basically you can use it as a ladder to gain experience and just move on.

Cons

-There is no improvement or raise if you are not family or best friend to the higher management. - CEO has no idea what is happening in his company as long as it's making money and higher level managers and VPs don't really care about their employees. - most of the managers are surprisingly unqualified and the trainings they offer the managers basically teach them how to fire people so the employee won't sue. - benefits are a joke in Niagara bottling. there's no sick days and PTO is at minimum. Insurance package prices are insanely high. maternity leave is also non existent, you have to apply for fmla. and considering the high work load, employees usually leave after having a kid. - the pay is not decent and last year, the maximum raise was 3% which will be nothing considering how low the wages are. however, VPs get higher bonuses each year so it makes sense why they cut employees raises, to add to VPs' bonuses! -Human Resources is pure evil in Niagara Bottling. there was never a moment that I felt they were employee advocates. - I understand it's a manufacturing company, but the headquarter is literally in the middle of a desert. there's nothing (restaurant, gym,...) decent around it in less than 15 minutes drive radius. I am really happy I left Niagara Bottling. After I left, my improvement speed was much higher comparing to before and as a genuine advice, if you have an offer from Niagara Bottling and an offer from another company, just run towards the other offer!

Pros

There are pros but it varies by team

Cons

They are very heavy on politics. Even if you do a good job and have solid projects under your belt, if upper leadership decides they want to get rid of you, they will — simply because upper management’s ego is too big to admit they made a mistake. You’re also expected to work crazy hours with an overwhelming workload and poor work‑life balance. This company has changed a lot since the HQ was in Ontario. You’re just a number now, and they’ll get rid of you at any moment. There have been MULTIPLE times where they randomly fired a percentage of HQ employees for no reason.
