Lactalis Canada Reviews

Pros

Great conditions and pretty engaging workplace. Great compensation salary-wise. Good managerial staff. Great autonomy.

Cons

Working hours are the only thing that are not great but you are warned in advance. The rotating shifts can be a pain for out-of-work planing. We get our schedules 1 week in advance which isn't great for planning.

Pros

Good 401k and medical plans

Cons

Insurance is expensive and covers next to nothing, with punishing high deductibles.

Pros

Company vehicle and gas card, 4 weeks vacation to start, benefits and pension are ok, very little actual selling - mostly account management

Cons

Toxic culture allows management to do and say what they want with impunity, company constantly changing direction with no clear goals, sales employees graded on KPIs to which they have almost no effect on, garbage bonus structure, too many useless meetings that take you away from doing your actual job, company is mostly interested in how things look instead of how they actually are, almost impossible to get anything changed regardless of how terrible a policy is, all selling incentives have been taken away in the last few years, account teams are awful at communicating with field sales, new field sales employees being trained by managers who never worked in the field, employees with almost no experience are given opportunities to advance simply for living in the GTA and company is desperate to constantly fill roles

Pros

Excellent benefits, local, convenient, the company is welcoming and allows for others to assertively provide feedback and has a great development program

Cons

Allowing for social connections to move on the decision making positions brings a sense of close circle if you will, and also puts people in position of power that don't have the training needed to perform well in those positions.

Pros

Advancement & hybrid work. Great opportunities to experience roles in different division.

Cons

Archaic systems, gradually improving though…

Cons

-I enjoyed working for this company for a while but there was a definite and terminal slide in company culture during my tour of duty. This was agreed upon by a large majority of my compatriots. -Forget about work/life balance. -Utterly top-down management style. They will wring out any inkling one has of trying to make production more efficient, safer, cleaner, healthier for ultimate consumers etc. I saw this time and again. -Huge amount of negativity, cynicism - generally from management, not the labor. They hire some really strange people to run things. The HR people and others seem like they crawled out of the pits of hell ... and then they crawl back - extremely high management turnover.
