Pros

As an international professional embarking on my career journey in Canada, I couldn't have asked for a better starting point than Lactalis Canada. Over the past 2 years, I've had the privilege of immersing myself in a workplace that not only values its employees but also champions innovation and personal growth. 1) A welcoming environment for newcomers to Canada 2) Strong focus on employee well-being and inclusion 3) Opportunities for professional growth and learning 4) Engaging and innovative project assignments 5) Supportive work-life balance initiatives

Cons

While the company certainly offers a wealth of positive attributes, there are a few areas that could benefit from improvement. One notable aspect is the company's IT infrastructure, which at times can feel inadequate to support the demands of modern workflows. There have been instances where technical glitches and slow systems have hindered efficiency and productivity. Additionally, there seems to be room for enhancement in the HR department's responsiveness and communication. Some employees, myself included, have experienced challenges in reaching out to HR for various concerns, and a more streamlined and accessible system for addressing issues would undoubtedly contribute to a smoother work experience. Moreover, while the company emphasizes professional growth, there have been instances where essential training materials and resources were lacking, making it somewhat challenging to fully capitalize on the opportunities for learning and development that the company otherwise provides.

Pros

Great conditions and pretty engaging workplace. Great compensation salary-wise. Good managerial staff. Great autonomy.

Cons

Working hours are the only thing that are not great but you are warned in advance. The rotating shifts can be a pain for out-of-work planing. We get our schedules 1 week in advance which isn't great for planning.

Pros

This company may work for those early in their careers, but it’s not sustainable long-term. There is an implicit expectation to work extended hours to keep up with demands, and a lot of your weekends often involve preparing for the week ahead due to constantly changing priorities. This pace leads to rapid burnout hence the reason it's not a viable option long-term. While peak workloads are common in most businesses, this company operates at that intensity year-round. While not always the case, leadership occasionally makes uncertain or delayed decisions often driven by fear or their limited experience which does contribute to the instability. Many who remain do so mainly for the competitive pay and benefits or their title rather than a sustainable work environment.

Cons

No work life balance Lacks real support for critical areas Unstable environment for long term career
