Lhoist reviews

Poor leadership 95% White and have to play the favoritism game if you want to get in with them Will eliminate roles often and combine roles leaving you with many responsibilities and the same pay (pattern for them) Understaffed and they operate that way all the time and ask how can we be more time efficient as if that’s the issue Poor culture Poor Work Life Balance Highly Stressful Will take advantage of you don’t speak up but you will get negative reviews if you speak up

Even with an aging workforce, the lack of upward mobility is a serious issue. Lhoist is not in a position to retain new talent in its current environment, especially with millenials and gen z. This is a dire problem as its a necessity for any company to be able to retain a vibrant workforce for future success. This company was known for employee retention and had a premium reputation as far as places to work in years past. This has changed with the CEO Ron Thompson, who fundamentally lacks creativity to lead Lhoist into a better future, and relies purely on cost cutting and micromanagement of his team to maneuver. We need a CEO not a shop-keeper. If Lhoist wants to avoid becoming another average so-and-so company to work for and go back to being a premium employer with a happy workforce it needs to look beyond the current CEO's vision.
