somewhat transparent on company status
Our superintendent is like one the boys proud to work for him joel goodale
That they are approachable and quick to recognize peoples contributions and effort.
Ethical and as transparent as the can be
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Treatment of their staff and employees work life balance
Review from Operations Dept
Communication. Connecting with people to appreciate their lives experience. Reinforce that it's not just what you get done, but how it's done that makes people feel valued and part of a team.
communicating change, leading by example, not giving a golden handshake to the ELT members who drove the company into the ground
Anyone above the local management team
Promoting people that actually deserve it
What is the best part about your compensation package?
The bonus at the end of the year
medical package, It used to be hybrid but that changed.
Money is rarely an issue, its time at home with my family
Review from Operations Dept
long term incentive plan, shares
Restricted Share Units and vacation + flex days
Review from Engineering Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Leaders treated as first class citizens even when laid off they got better treatment than employees. Low stock sharing below director level
Comparable salary is 40% higher at other plants
The pension should be 50% better. Savings plans contributions by the company should be matched up to 10% of the employees.
Not about the money - more about the feeling about being a part of something special that makes a difference.
What are some of the best things about your team?
Equal oppurtunity to speak your mind
Review from Operations Dept
communication, team work. working toward the same goal
We mostly get along, the company doesn't put much effort into new hires
Review from Operations Dept
Great people, day to day
Really good comradery, in our workgroup. Always willing to help one another out
Review from Operations Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Coworkers were great, but most were recently laid off
Too many meetings. Too many participants in those meetings. Agenda not followed.
Coworkers are great all around
They are doing all ok.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
work attitude task delegation training
Fellow co-workers make coming to work enjoyable
Review from Operations Dept
Members of teams collaborate and everyone is really trying to do their best
There is nothing positive about the culture that has been created.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
stop layoffs to improve employee moral
Let the front line workers have their time off, extra staffing if thats what it takes. Less forcing to work and compensated standby time or none at all
Review from Operations Dept
Trust and encouraging diversity. People do not feel supported and don't trust the executive team. Forget about them doing anything with the results from employee surveys
Attitude, compensation, culture, process and procedures, leadership teams, accountability
They should listen to the technical people
What did you like most about the interview process?
meeting in person and presenting my skills, education and job experience to the interview panel.
I interviewed at a time when in person interviews were still the norm. This had not only a discussion component, but a chance to demonstrate my skills through a case study.
Simple and straightforward, no online tests or anything. Just face to face interviews.
Review from Engineering Dept
Having less hr input and business input
There was nothing really special about the interview process.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
It takes absolutely forever to secure talent. Bureaucratic and many levels for approval from multiple groups to get someone approved for hire. Not unusual for 3-6 month process
Fewer behavioural question and more knowledge base questions. To much inclusion and diversity placed on hiring, not hiring best qualified
Review from Operations Dept
Lest red tape and more focus on completing the process in a timely manner
Give the questions ahead of time.
Review from Engineering Dept
Have the questions asked one on one.
What makes you most happy at work?
productivity responsibility comradery everything else
Coworkers and the paycheck. I'd find another day if my roots in the community werent so deep
Review from Operations Dept
Coworkers and the pay is good
Review from Operations Dept
feeling that I contribute and can impact decision making
Team interactions and the hybrid work environment
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Layoffs took out many highly qualified people and outsourcing of key groups had made the quality of work/relationships very poor
Low trust between groups, between teams, between employees and leaders - can improve by improving communication and working to effectively partner with outlined expectations. the current strategic direction of "winning" from the new CEO is not a strategy and people are not bought in
We are seen as cheapskates
Lack of a clear strategy to meet investors expectations
