Paterson GlobalFoods reviews

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.

The CEO is a tyrant. Most of the staff and management are afraid him and as a result the staff turnaround is very high. Many of the long time staff have left the company recently due to the negative working environment that now exists. The HR staff is fairly new to the company and they are very unapproachable in comparison to the previous HR staff. This is not the place to work if you are a young professional looking for growth. There are still a few higher up management staff left that are older and just waiting to retire. I feel sorry for them as they are constantly having to deal with the mood swings of the CEO as they report directly to him. It's very unfortunate that this company has gone from such a wonderful place to work to one of the worst companies to work for. The company has gained a bad reputation in the industry and the downtown area.
