Interfor Reviews

Senior mgmt. in woodlands is of the "old culture" and promoted to position through time invested, not qualifications. Mgmt. act with low integrity and do not honor agreements or commitments to lower-level staff. Lots of false promises. Expectations of time committed to the company are unreasonable. Little to no acknowledgement of quality jobs or extra efforts by mgmt. Appears that the only way to move up in Company is to brown nose senior mgmt and sacrifice personal life. New ideas are either thrown out in favor of old 'ruts' or stolen without acknowledgement. Employees expected to drive broken down pickups from the 90's and early 2000's yet management wonders why production always lags. Safety leadership is in lip service only. Mgmt. view costs as blockade to improving safety. Discipline notices for incidents = culture tendency to leave unsafe issues unreported. Company tenure is only on remote locations on BC coast, requiring lots of camp work.

- no focus on any kind of diversity, especially at the leadership level where everyone from director level and up is white and mostly male - no efforts from management to develop corporate culture - people in Accounting are expected to work weekends and evenings but are never provided any flex time to make up for their after-hours work - people fear going to HR about issues because there is fear that HR will label them as problematic and they will be terminated - there are many examples of the boys club at the top hiring and promoting their friends - lots of remote workers and consultants who rarely show their face in the office but yet local workers are not trusted to work from home
