      Very Childish Leadership. STAY AWAY.

      Plant manager

      Business outlook

      Pros

      This company is part of group of much larger companies involved in petro-chem industry. Large size allows for good benefits. Public transit is outside the factory, and is inside Toronto.

      Cons

      The management act like high school children, secret cliques backstabbing other people. The new employees are set-up as fall guys when leadership messes up. Leadership is afraid of the shop supervisors, so nothing changes and this company is stuck in same condition for passed 10 years. The shop is dirty and run down, BIRD POOP is a big problem. VERY COLD in winter.

      Pros

      Paycheck with benefits. Always work available. 60h max work.

      Cons

      Lots of games all over. The newest guy always gets the blame. Blame is a currency in this place. NO ONE LASTS HERE- 2x every year they keep changing Buyer and Manufacturing Supervisor. The plant floor looks like a car mechanic's mess.

      Bass Ackwards Company (Toronto)

      Production manager

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Decent pay and benefits. Solely on a pace basis, the work isn’t as stressful as other kinds of industries. The plant isn’t the middle of nowhere.

      Cons

      The work IS stressful because of the childish politics in the company. You spend more than half your day Covering Your Behind.. The MBM philosophy talks of “Innovation”, yet this company is so Change Averse, and quick to blame on mistakes. There’s little focus on lessons learned and new ways to rectify things, the focus is on Who’s Fault Is It ?
