Pros

It is very difficult to find pros about this company. However, the sustainable aspects are commendable, office location is near TTC, as with anywhere, you might meet some nice and smart people, but they probably won't stick around long.

Cons

Disgraceful HR practices - HR is constantly sharing private information about employees casually, excellent staff are constantly being fired without reason, everyone is fearful of management/HR, no one is able to freely speak up, no trust between management/HR and employees. Minto has the worst customer service - Minto talks the talk but certainly does not walk the walk, customer service is non-existent, the customer is always wrong appears to be the policy. Homes are not up to standards, low quality and customer can't do anything about it. They are stuck. The family are a bunch of old-boys' club men who ran the company in a male-dominated fashion. Despite the family stepping down, it is still very incestuous with family-relations in management and the company is still run in a male-dominated way. So if you are a woman - stay away unless you basically expect to be checked out and asked to make coffee and take notes. There is no innovation, ideas are all re-used since 1950. Little room for growth, expansion of role or thoughts, ideas, projects. Pay is also below average with minimal increases and minimal growth potential.

We apologize for your negative experience, and thank you for your feedback. We take concerns with professionalism and confidentially seriously, as such conduct is contrary to our guiding principles and values. Any concerns about confidentiality and/or lack of professionalism at any level of staff should be brought to the attention of that individual’s manager, the Human Resources Business Partner assigned to the employee’s group or the VP of HR. Regarding innovation, we’re working on it! One of our largest initiatives to address work processes has been the implementation of an enterprise-wide SAP system. The previous patchwork of multiple business systems wasn’t working for us – we needed to simplify Minto’s corporate systems to establish a strong foundation for growth, and to compete with a number of large players in our industry. The benefits of SAP are numerous – from having centralized access to data, to a scalable system to support business growth, to real-time reporting capabilities – all of which help us do our jobs smarter and more efficiently.

We have run out of land and I don't want to relocate for family reasons. So I'll have to go to a lesser quality company.
