Pros

Free food There are some great coworkers

Cons

Management/leadership cuts corners in everything Plant staff and workers are grossly overworked A lot of very bad and abusive leaders Management does not champion good/safe processes and work practices in the plants - it's like a war zone, the departments do not work together

We appreciate you taking the time to provide us feedback. Our objective is to be sure our team members are treated fairly and with respect in our environment, and we are sorry that you didn't feel you had that experience during your tenure with us. Health & Safety is a number one priority at FGF and our leadership teams, team members, and our Health & Safety team are all committed and focused in this area. We are glad you worked with a great team, and yes, we do run 12 hour shifts in our plants, however based on the feedback from our engagement surveys many of our team members prefer this schedule. We also offer extensive training and career development; safety shoe programs; benefits; the opportunity to work overtime if desired, and accelerated career growth opportunities. It’s one of the reasons we have such a high retention rate among our team members and something we are very proud of. Thanks again for your review.

Pros

Good pay and benefits. Flexible hybrid work.

Cons

Constant layoffs. I was laid off 7 months after starting, while on a business trip in a Kroger parking lot, with no explanation given. Layoff process was pathetic, no communication and had to threaten a lawyer to receive my severance payout. American politics are often discussed by Canadian upper management. Foul, unprofessional language is frequently used. Very unprofessional, unstable work environment. I would recommend looking anywhere else for employment.
