Compass Minerals Reviews

Pros

Good company to work for. The pay is good and the conditions are good too.

Cons

Some of the union workers don't want to complete their assigned tasks. Strikes are possible every three years if the union does not agree on a contract with the company. Some of the union workers do not like contractors. The strikes can be long and disruptive to the company operations, making the workplace more unsafe. Incompetent people get jobs in the engineering department.

Advice to Management

Fire all of the incompetent and lazy people.

Pros

Compensation package was not great.

Cons

Worst management team I have ever worked with. HR team totally incompetent. Worked there for five years and always mass turmoil. Employee's constantly resigning. High turnover of good people. Incompetent ones seem to stay around longer.

Advice to Management

Clean house! Get rid of dead wood and incompetent managers and supervisors. Get a real HR department. Pay more get more.

Pros

good company for long term work .

Cons

more benefits for workers and family

Pros

Goderich is a nice place to live and work ,pay is good and for the most part have really enjoyed working here until the past few years.

Cons

Company is being micro managed by a leadership group who won't take responsibility for their poor planning and choice's that took this company from being highly productive to barely getting by on a daily basis. They treat their staff terribly and are currently using scab labour to run a mine with untrained people and risking lives instead of working on a contract with their unionized workforce for whom the have put... out on strike with unrealistic contract demands.

Advice to Management

The CEO needs to be a leader and correct this mess instead of heading down the same path as the previous CEO who got fired for the exact same things you are doing now. Learn from your past and stop getting sued all the time for abusing your employees.

Pros

Great location to live in near the Goderich mine Ok pay for mining industry Replaces all broken tools for you

Cons

Massive mismanagement of new technology change in mining Blaming problems on unionized workforce Less than stellar supervision and management that is not familiar with mining industry Letting things go to point of failure instead of preventative maintenance Offering an awe full contract to union workers trying to wipe out fifty years of negotiations Can only imagine what the due to non union staff

Advice to Management

Treat your workers to a decent contract and they will be proud to work for your company morale will improve Get better quality supervisors that understand systems in mine

Cons

Can be a bit siloed at the Corporate level

Pros

Can see the lake from your office window.

Cons

Goderich Mine site management is incompetent. Mine management has a little understanding about what they are doing. Working relationships between people are broken. Staff employees and management hide information and lie to each other. Company implemented PDP (Performance Development Process) process, which is modified from Personal Development Process and management uses this as a tool to corrupt staff personnel.... Safety records are terrible due to formal approach to underground mine safety. Recommendation: Stay away from this place.
