      Pros

      The Simplot (Portage La Prairie, MB) plant seems to have a good culture and good management. The starting wage/salary is at or above industry standards. There is room for growth and the plant has operated through the covid-19 situation without any layoffs. The company offers a free shuttle from various points in Winnipeg to the plant and back.

      Cons

      From a maintenance perspective, planned shutdowns have been reduced which leaves us in a tough position for preventative maintenance. The location can be a problem as well. A 45 minute highway drive from Winnipeg and occasional highway closures in the winter can be problematic.

      Pros

      HQ building is pretty cool and you can get some neat tours of company facilities. Work life balance is generally pretty good.

      Cons

      The company just has no idea what its doing regarding IT. Most management has been there 25+ years and still wants to operate like its the 90s. Head of IT is an accountant and the department is treated like a necessary evil and employees are told they provide no tangible value. Making any kind of impact is actively discourage and 'stay in your lane' is a core tenet. If you want to just show up, grind, and go home, this is the place for you.
