The operations side of the company is extremely mismanaged by Senior Leadership.
- They do not trust employees
- There is no recognition of performance
- Operations leaders penny pinch to the extreme
A consequence of the poor senior leadership is a toxic culture. People are ingrained in their methodologies and react with hostility to new ideas that threaten their method of working. You need to walk on eggshells around middle managers who will take any inkling of a new idea as a personal threat and look to shut it down.
Because the company is run by a family, HR is a joke. They do whatever the leadership team (who are family members) asks them to do.
- HR will fall back on signed contracts and attempt to renegotiate in bad faith
- Working hours for salaried employees are listed on the contract as 9 to 5 or 8 to 4 but in reality senior management expects you to work 8 Am to 6 Pm.
Working conditions in the Brampton facility are also terrible.
- Toilets stay clogged for a full week before they are cleaned
- There isn't even free COFFEE on premises (extent of penny pinching)
- The factory floor is highly unorganized, dangerous, and dirty
There is also NO onboarding process. I am all for learning quickly and adapting to new situations, but you will not be introduced to anyone, be trained on processes, or be given guidance on what is expected from you.
If you are looking for career growth, to be treated with respect, be recognized for your efforts, and leave a positive impact, then do yourself and your career a favour and please find another job.
