Pros

No Pros unless you just have to have a paycheck.

Cons

Benefits getting cut. Departments getting "centralized" to Canada. Morale is horrible due to lack of caring from upper management. They talk about how wonderful they are to us, but just ask the lowly employee. They took our retirement away from us.

Thank you for taking the time to submit a review. There are currently no large-scale initiatives underway to centralize departments into Canada. With regards to benefits, our US and Canada programs were recently updated to add additional coverage in many areas for 2020. Regarding the retirement programs, we had to make the difficult decision to freeze legacy DB (defined benefit) pensions, allowing Nutrien to provide consistent programs going forward. In addition, DB pension plans are expensive and are a risk for a private company to offer. In making the switch to a DC (defined contribution) pension format, we ensure the sustainability of the programs in the future. We know it’s important to be market competitive in order to attract and retain the best talent and are confident our current programs deliver on that.

Pros

If you are entirely unambitious, you can make a decent living here. The pay is decent for the area, and as long as you do nothing, you won't receive any harassment from the safety police.

Cons

If you have the audacity to attempt to do actual work, not only will you be chastised by the entirely useless hourly union staff, you will be bombarded by the salaried safety police. The safety culture is ridiculously hypocritical. No one follows the policies, and most people can't agree on what the policies actually are. I have yet to meet an employee here, union or salaried, who I would consider to be a hardworker. I wouldn't hire any of them. Their work ethic is evident in the condition of the plant. Their excuse, "it's 40 years old". The condition of the plant suggests absolute neglect rather than general wear and tear.

Safety is Nutrien’s top core value and is foundational to everything we do. This is more than a statement for us, it is a belief. Therefore, it’s unfortunate to hear that your experience in this area has not been a good one. With the recent combination of two large organizations, we continue to work to harmonize legacy policies. This work is ongoing but is nearing completion. Thank you for taking the time to submit a review.

Pros

The pay was pretty decent

Cons

Once the “merger” became final, everything was a complete cluster. Nobody knew anything about benefits, bonuses, salaries, etc. the employees were kept in the dark about everything while Still expected to go about their jobs. Distractions cause accidents. Safety became a catch phrase instead of a core value. As long as the leadership that is currently there stays, avoid this company.
