Pros

* Excellent work life-balance * Structured way of doing things * Great benefits and pension plan

Cons

Over the past 3–4 years, changes within the senior management team have created a more challenging work environment. Many employees have experienced increased stress due to perceived micromanagement, favoritism, and a lack of openness to differing viewpoints or constructive feedback. Leadership and communication styles within certain areas of the organization, especially Operations, have contributed to low employee morale and have been factors in the high turnover experienced at the Mississauga, Ontario, Canada location. A word of caution for anyone planning to take up a role under the current Director of Operations, as it can turn into a living nightmare. That said, aside from a few directors within Operations and Quality, the company offers many positive aspects and has historically been a great place to work. There are many dedicated employees and leaders who genuinely care about the organization's success and its people.

Pros

I worked for 2 years as a Quality Control Inspector in the Mechanical Processing Quality Control Department. Both my coworkers and management left me with very good memories – people with culture, knowledge, and commitment. The team creates a great atmosphere, and it’s really a place you want to work at – at least until management gets involved… The Mechanical Processing Department is actually “held together” only by the rank-and-file employees. It is managed by Mr. Stanisław – a person completely out of touch with today’s standards. Lack of competence, outdated work methods, and an approach based on intimidation – especially towards women – are his everyday reality. Additionally, there are private “side jobs” done on the second shift when no one is watching – for example, building a wooden chicken coop using company materials and equipment, and then transporting the finished structure home in a company vehicle. These things happened openly. I have proof. Opportunities for development? Very limited. Promotions and raises? Practically unavailable, regardless of your experience, skills, or contribution to the company. What matters is only whether you “fit into the Excel spreadsheet” and if the manager thinks you fit the table. If you openly say something is wrong or – worse – threaten to take the issue to higher management, you are immediately considered a threat and pushed out. In summary: If you have no ambitions, have a mortgage, a family to support, thick skin, and treat stability at a low wage as the most important thing – you will manage
