Confused, combative and ineffective organization - Anonymous employee Mizkan Employee Review

Take care of the employees

Work most holidays and most weekends

There are a lot of great people to work with here. Everyone is supportive, genuinely cares about your success, and wants to help you grow. The benefits are pretty great too.

The organization is frequently understaffed, resulting in employees taking on multiple responsibilities beyond their original job scope without corresponding compensation. As staffing levels have been reduced, much of the workload has been redistributed to remaining employees, contributing to burnout and high turnover. There is a tendency to continually delegate additional tasks without a clear understanding of employees’ existing workloads or responsibilities. In some cases, roles have expanded significantly beyond their original purpose, with increased responsibilities added despite no meaningful adjustment in title, pay, or career progression opportunities. Communication from management can be inconsistent, leading to misunderstandings and confusion. The culture is largely top-down, with limited opportunities for employee input. Overall, workload expectations, lack of advancement opportunities, and communication challenges contribute to employee dissatisfaction and turnover.
