Where do I start? It was a family owned company and after the sale to Lassonde, it became a publicly (Canadian) traded company. If you've been through an acquisition before, you know there is some "trimming of the fat", but this place is insane right now. Since 2013, more that 100 managers, sales people, executives and office staff have been let go, quit, or forced into early retirement out of a company of 400 people nationwide. From the top down, it is a cutthroat environment and there is usually a line outside the HR door on Fridays with people getting terminated. Don't believe me? Ask around. The first thing they did was have us take all kinds of employee satisfaction surveys to bolster their Net Promoter score to attract talent from other companies. Once they hit a satisfactory number, heads began to roll and it has been a constant revolving door of people for the past 16 months. If you get hired here, expect to be paid 15% to 20% LESS than the person you're replacing. Look, juice is a stagnant category and the only way the company can realize profits is by squeezing from the inside. So if you love instability, chaos, mis-direction and political BS, this is the place for you!
