Pros

good 401k, insurance, holiday party, summer party, get to leave at noon on fridays in the summer, nice people, small so you will know most people.

Cons

a lot of people quit/get fired. they promised hourly employees bonuses in 2016, we didn't get them and they back tracked and said its effective 2016, but we wont get one until 2017. it is very cliquey in some departments, if the managers don't love you good luck moving up in the company. senior management keeps pushing everyone to do more, plants are filled up and over worked, stress over supply issues. improper training. they write people up as proof of you being a bad employee when they want to fire you.

Thanks for the feedback! As you mention, we do have a lot of great benefits and talent working at Lassonde Pappas that we are very proud of. However, I'm sorry to hear that you've had some negative experiences working here and apologize for the misunderstanding regarding our enhanced bonus plan. Last year, as we were entering the 2016 calendar year, we were excited to share the enhancements to our bonus plan so that that everyone understood their bonus potential for 2016 performance. We apologize for any misunderstanding that may have occurred and hope you enjoyed your enhanced bonus this year. Thanks again for the feedback!

Pros

Good for resume building. Pay can be okay for factory union jobs.

Cons

Huge turnover. Terrible training program. Everyone is massively overworked. Management will have you working 14 hours a day, doing two jobs for one salary, and then flag you as "not a team player" when you object to doing yet another job on top of that for no pay. Promotions are given to people who constantly suck up to senior management, but are not competent enough to do their current job without causing major problems for everyone else. They won't fire their "favorites", so they promote them until they can't do any more damage. This means that you will lose out on your earned promotion for someone who can't even handle their current job and will no doubt cause more work for you. They will tell you it's because you don't have enough "leadership". They will tell you they have good benefits, but they get worse for the employees every single year. When things go wrong, nobody is concerned about fixing anything, but instead on passing the blame around and around.
