Pros
It is a big company with several locations across South and North America. It has also been in business for over 100 years.
Cons
The Procurement office in Whitby is by far the worse work environment I have ever seen in my career. The Department is ran as if it was a (bad) High School, including having cubicles inspected every morning to look if people are on time (7:30am!!!) or have left to grab a cup of coffee. If management is around people are afraid to interact or talk to each other...this translates to inexistent teamwork and very bad work morale. There is hardly ever a compliment for work well done, in fact there is only pressure for savings and more savings and a "slap in the hand" if you don't reach your goals. There is no guidence or support. You are basically on your own. There is no interaction beetween the other regional teams to share experiences. Upper management in Tampa is absent and does not spend time with the team when visiting. Furthermore, there is no formal training or financial assistance so employees can develop their skills. On top of all these issues, the company has been cutting benefits and had two layoff waves and location shutdowns in less than two years.
