Pros

- You are part of a global company. That is it

Cons

- The company is cash negative. All money is provided by HQ. There is every chance that the company could shut down any day for lack of funding or if the HQ decides to analyze the returns on their investment at this plant. - All the funds that arrive are digested (literally paying for their cars, houses, vacations, multiple annual incentives) by higher management. Nothing is left for people who are actually supporting the business. They will keep you on contracts to keep you on low wages and suck all the time they can from you. - There is no dialogue, feedback , conversation around any decision even if the decision directly impacts you and your work. There have been instances that even managers are not aware of changes being implemented. - Higher management has no interest in maintaining an ongoing talent pool. There is no feedback or discussion from higher management to peers or subordinates. they would rather change all employees every few months so they can keep renewing contracts and keep the salaries to the minimum while using all the extra budget towards their own pay raises and incentives. - Due to high turnover and no performance incentive for deserving people, there is no process documentation or improvements. - You will be responsible sooner or later for more than the role you get hired for since all teams are short staffed and with new people entering the teams every few months, everyone needs help on doing their work.

Pros

Great products prior to entering soluble fiber and protein. Dominated the confectionery space, literally untouchable for very good reasons. Very differentiated corn syrups, syrup solids and maltodextrin. Very knowledgeable team in France, capable of solving any challenge. Mastered use of their ingredients in pharma, food and industry.

Cons

Company got lost with the challenges in fiber and protein. HQ team does not like bad news or to be challenged on ideas. Canada plant came online when pea protein market imploded. Many talented and capable employees left. Unprofessional behaviors go unchecked.
