      Management does not care or listen

      Pros

      All the free food and drinks you could want.

      Cons

      Management does not care or listen. There is little to no communication. As a supervisor told me on my first day, "Everything is you fault. Whether it actually is or not." You are literally blamed for everything. Office and warehouse staff are incompetent. There are many who either can't, or just simply won't do their jobs. Constant wrong or damaged product being sent out. Benefits are garbage for such a big company. No advancement opportunities unless you know the right people. Pay is ridiculous for all the work we do. A lot of free labor you have to do. No raises at all. Very little work/life balance.

      Absolutely Terrible Experience at this Company

      8 Dec 2022 - Key Account Manager (KAM) in Calgary, AB
      Recommend

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If you want free, stale, past due vending machine candy as a regular bonus for overtime, this job is for you.

      Cons

      No one knows what they're doing here. Management turns over regularly and none of them know how to actually manage people. The inventory/ordering platform is a mess and incredibly inefficient. Those in leadership positions regularly take advantage of front line staff by expecting them to work overtime for nothing. There is no work/life balance here and the opportunities for advancement are non-existent. I was offered a "promotion" from Office Coffee Specialist (refilling coffee stations in offices) to Regional Key Account Manager (managing the biggest, highest earning accounts in my region) at no salary increase. When I tried to negotiate considering the incredible increase in workload and responsibility, I was told this was a lateral promotion and if I didn't take it, I would be fired. I can't possibly warn folks enough - this is a terrible company who put their people LAST. On top of that, it's incredibly sexist and homophobic. They have one employee facing HR professional who divulges complaints that should be confidential to the people they are in reference to, putting employees at risk for in-office bullying and retaliation. She should be fired.

      Awesome people working here

      Pros

      I loved working here. There is a diverse group of awesome people working there. Except for my supervisor, everyone else working there were absolutely WONDERFUL. M-F workweek (depending on your role) ; Sign on and quarterly bonuses; The motto was "no worries!" even when things were really "snafu"; Benefits started after 30 days; Clean well equipped workspace

      Cons

      Everything went downhill when my supervisor changed my role and worked hard at getting me to quit. No positive feedback, berating me in front of the team then blamed me for the "negativity". She watched me like a hawk looking for anything too criticize me for, and when I stood up to her wrong accusations I was written up for insubordination. I have never had problems with my performance anywhere else I have worked before. She created all of the issues. This job went 180 degrees from my favorite place to the most negative experience I had ever had. She even tried to get me to leave before my two week notice was complete. Unbelievable. If she had followed through and fired me I would have filed a complaint. She did not treat anyone else they was she treated me. Thankfully this job was not my only source of income so I was able to leave when I wanted to. I put up with her nonsense a few more months and left when I was ready. I was not given an exit interview. lots of disorganization Pay is only so-so. They have benefits but the medical is expensive. You have to ask HR to find out if you have any PTO or sick time hours available. They don't mandate being vaccinated but they unethically charged a surcharge on your Medical insurance in 2022. They did not inform us that there was no surcharge for 2023 until the last minute of open enrollment.
