Savaria Reviews

The operations side of the company is extremely mismanaged by Senior Leadership. - They do not trust employees - There is no recognition of performance - Operations leaders penny pinch to the extreme A consequence of the poor senior leadership is a toxic culture. People are ingrained in their methodologies and react with hostility to new ideas that threaten their method of working. You need to walk on eggshells around middle managers who will take any inkling of a new idea as a personal threat and look to shut it down. Because the company is run by a family, HR is a joke. They do whatever the leadership team (who are family members) asks them to do. - HR will fall back on signed contracts and attempt to renegotiate in bad faith - Working hours for salaried employees are listed on the contract as 9 to 5 or 8 to 4 but in reality senior management expects you to work 8 Am to 6 Pm. Working conditions in the Brampton facility are also terrible. - Toilets stay clogged for a full week before they are cleaned - There isn't even free COFFEE on premises (extent of penny pinching) - The factory floor is highly unorganized, dangerous, and dirty There is also NO onboarding process. I am all for learning quickly and adapting to new situations, but you will not be introduced to anyone, be trained on processes, or be given guidance on what is expected from you. If you are looking for career growth, to be treated with respect, be recognized for your efforts, and leave a positive impact, then do yourself and your career a favour and please find another job.

If you do choose to work overtime, it suddenly becomes your regular shift. If you worked overtime but want to maybe cut back to regular hours for a week or have a weekend to yourself, you hear about it. Production levels are unrealistic - they drive too hard, which causes mistakes and injuries. There is no room - everything is crowded in everywhere. Even the so-called "Safe" green zones are encroached upon by product, parts, and so on. They don't do the little things, like Christmas bonuses. It's a barbeque in the summer and a New Year's dinner. If we're lucky, we get a t-shirt. The benefits are completely Mickey Mouse: 80% prescription and that's it! No eyeglasses, no dental, no extended, nothing - considering the job requires good eyesight, they should at least offer vision coverage! They will not provide decent benefits and the pay is below par, so it's a slap in the face when they hand out mugs printed with "Best Month Ever!" and keep bragging about how well their sales are how they spent millions of dollars buying up another company.
