Pros
High employee turnover can possibly provide opportunities beyond your experience level. Could be a good stepping stone to better opportunities elsewhere. Some great people still work with this company.
Cons
Turnover and inability to retain talented people leaves you surrounded by new employees. This contributes to dysfunction, extreme workload, and lack of support to do your job. Five HR Directors in the past four years is a good example of this. Compensation offered is typically below average even after you have proved yourself. The CEO's direct treatment of others is abusive and insulting. If you become a direct report, your ethics and morals will be challenged with asinine beliefs that impact you and the people you deal with. The CEO's awful leadership permeates throughout the company and creates a toxic culture. Management is an "old boys club" waiting for retirement bonuses and pensions to kick in. As a woman it is near impossible to be acknowleged, much less respected here. If you're young, energetic, and progressive this place will be a hard place to work at. Several managers actively voice that you are wasting your time trying to improve the company and you should move on if you are young and have potential. The reputation of Paterson GlobalFoods head office is fairly well known in Winnipeg. Make sure you talk to a few people who work or have worked here before you get yourself involved with this company.
