Pros

Decent pay, besides the lack of proper raises

Cons

- Management has little to no skill. - Morale is at an all time low - Sales and warehouse are basically two separate entities, with absolutely no interaction - All incentives that were brought forth, were taken away - No such thing as a set job. Some have to do 4-5 different sets of jobs, and get paid for one. - Raises are a joke! - Supposed to be a LEAN practicing job, yet it's not - No chance of going anywhere in the company if you are warehouse ( deadend job )

Pros

- good salary - there is room for moving up in the company (read the con though) - very well established company in their industry

Cons

- stress - manager mentality Though they are trying to get away from their old view points and company culture that used to dominate their flow; they are still a heavy white male dominated company that promotes and hires less on attribute, and more on a "buddy" system. If you are not well liked on a private level, but are a good employee; you are out of luck! The stress level is so high all the time that it almost does not make any sense. I worked at larger companies before that deal with a lot more than they do, and I have never felt that type of pressure. I know that I am not the only one. It is not warranted as the product is a consumable and there are a lot of employees.

Making profits despite any reasonable facts

Pros

The benefits are OK. There are always two extremes in this company. When the management dont care about you or when they are all over you. Obviously the first one is a plus. Enjoy while you can.

Cons

This company is making profits ONLY because its been around for so long AND there's not too much competition around in Canada. Remove these two facts and this "building" would collapse in no time. Being the family business the management are absolutely unprofessional, raised "in the family". Some people are being worked way too hard and some are always taking mini vacations.There's no such thing as training , but when you start doing things your way, they slap your hands. No feedback, no asking for opinion. People are just robots designed to perform tasks. The company would do so much better in 100 years when people will actually be replaced with robots. Planning and scheduling is a joke, a 10 grader could do better. Management do care about you, your ideas, feedback or results.
