Pros

Decent work life balance They try to invest in employees wellbeing but lately it is been all falling apart. They try to invest in DE&I but it is more for the appearance, at least on the Canadian side.

Cons

Fake promises, poor business performance, bad management from leadership team, a big round of layoffs for a small food company in Canada. Leadership team is so disconnected from the rest of the team. It is like living in different worlds. No clear communication, connection with employees. Some managers are bullies and toxic and no one is doing anything about it, although employees complain about it. Limited career opportunities on the Canadian side, absence of promotion from within and more focused on recruiting external.

Pros

Great flexibility and work life balance. Great people and business.

Cons

Not much room for career advancement. A lot of decisions are made by the headquarters in Italy and don't always make sense for the US.

Pros

Free pasta, knowledgeable coworkers who go above and beyond to help train new people.

Cons

Supervisors who don't manage their employees appropriately or fairly. In order to keep your job best to keep your head down. Don't ever give anyone any reason to single you out or your days are numbered even if your a skilled competent technician. There is Noone who will save you from being discarded.
