CCL Industries reviews

Poor management stemming from a complete lack of understanding of the business. Also, management treats employees as though they can all be replaced without any difficulty. Massive layoffs over the past year and a half or so. Management has no desire to get involved with the production staff or understand what their jobs are like.

Highly operations focused - other functions openly devalued. Without label production experience career options are very limited. Non transparent culture based largely on fear. Much time/effort is spent on hiding spending and management decisions from the CEO and his attack dog. Whole underground organization process on doing one thing and reporting another. HR policies of a small regional company: Compensation policies/levels not close to that of other large public companies; no training and education benefits; pursuit of higher education is no supported (in fact, it is actively discouraged); no talent management process other than who the CEO likes/has worked with down multiple layers in the organization; diversity of individuals/thought is not appreciated or encouraged. Surprising lack of HR, financial and legal controls and sophistication for a public company.
