Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! Lactalis is absolutely committed to providing a respectful, equitable, and fair workspace, with dedication to regulations, safety, and best practices. Our employees are our #1 priority. We could not be the dynamic, top performing FMCG organization we are today without the amazing culture of collaboration and communication that our team shares. We ensure to have the best resources in place to meet the needs of our employees and to adapt and change where needed to meet the constantly evolving needs of such a fast-paced industry. We of course hope to continuously improve in this area, but we hope that all employees know that their employee experience is a critical piece of our success. Our new Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion policy is also a major initiative that we are proud to be leading globally within the Lactalis Groupe. We want our employees to be heard, and to bring in different opinions and innovative thoughts, and that starts with our people. Change is something we embrace, and positive change and new ways of thinking will come from our excellent group of employees. That said, there is always room for Lactalis to grow as an organization, and we appreciate you taking your time to share your thoughts, and also for your service on our team! We are always striving to be better, and feedback is a big part of how we will evolve to meet new challenges!

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

This company may work for those early in their careers, but it’s not sustainable long-term. There is an implicit expectation to work extended hours to keep up with demands, and a lot of your weekends often involve preparing for the week ahead due to constantly changing priorities. This pace leads to rapid burnout hence the reason it's not a viable option long-term. While peak workloads are common in most businesses, this company operates at that intensity year-round. While not always the case, leadership occasionally makes uncertain or delayed decisions often driven by fear or their limited experience which does contribute to the instability. Many who remain do so mainly for the competitive pay and benefits or their title rather than a sustainable work environment.

Cons

No work life balance Lacks real support for critical areas Unstable environment for long term career
