Pros

there are no pros to working here

Cons

since the merger things have constantly gone down hill . the retail end of it has been in a transition for more than 4 years and still no light at the end of the tunnel. They are constantly changing things last minute . They keep the retail in the dark till they need something from them. Their HR department could care less about how to help people navigate the garbage policies that they have in place. The work life balance is poor all the time - its a struggle to take any time off at all. They always reward the under preforming employees and treat the good ones like garbage. There is no direction from the top - other than growth - that is the end all be all - the upper management will neglect to take into account their market and the transitions in the market and expect nothing but substantial growth - which is neither realistic or achievable . When it was Agrium and not on a buying spree things were really good through the chain , that has all gone the way of proving that they can make their shareholders money. They have no connection with their customer - even though they think they do. Number one priority is their shareholders and that is it they could care less about any one who is involved in that process to earn them that dollar.

Pros

There used to be lots of overtime. Manager is pretty decent.

Cons

Cheap company that does not like to pay almost all employees a competitive wage. Raises are often minimal and often insulting. The safety culture there is a joke where they throw money at issues that dont exist rather than focus on actual issues. Which locations get bonuses is inconsistent, some do, some dont. Benefits used to be really good, than they cheaped out and you have to pay for the benefits you used to get. Upper management makes really stupid decisions all the time and just kind of roll with it. Advancement is nonexistent, I was openly turned down for an internal position that I was qualified for specificly because of my gender. Workload is often multiple times more than what is advertised with no extra pay. The new sap system is an absolute trainwreck. Managment is a joke.

Pros

market pay rate and competitive benefits.

Cons

It used to be a great place to work until 2015. The CEO of this company was new to Agrium and I think the CEO does not have right vision and honestly lacks “patience” as lots of his decision seems to be out of his gut feelings, I think he has been over his head by becoming CEO. Lots of good employee left. The line managers on my site were so afraid to the point that they wouldn’t hire DCS and E&I technicians for months ( worst cost saving strategy). Vice President and middle managers actually created a boys club and were buddies and were really scared to ask any money from president wholesale. I had heard from one of my previous colleagues that one of the plant manager was let go because of alcohol abuse at work (too much stress and lack of direction from executives and the CEO)
