helpdesk manager

Compass Minerals

Very busy Schedule with rotating shift work. Starting shift with job assignments for the shift, starting with senior man picking his job. Then proceeding 1800 feet underground. Learning was on going as the environment has many dangers. Shift supervisors are your primary go to bosses and keep very busy ensuring employees are kept safe, are working safe and production is maintained. Co-workers are always ready and willing to assist junior employees, in order to maintain a safe working environment. Hardest part of the job is getting accustomed to working underground at 1800 feet. Most enjoyable part of the job is the constant temperature.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Best job ever. Strong union for lazy ppl. Strong union for hard workers. But awesome job regardless. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Crazy rotating schedule.  Days/nights

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Awesome place to work it is what you want it to be. Treated very well

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Long shifts, safety culture important

Poor working environment. Workplace harassment is rampant. HR and upper management doesn’t do anything about it. Always hiring the best of the worst. People quitting constantly. Poison environment. The only people who stay are the ones that can’t get a job anywhere else. Very unsafe. Only place I have worked where they had multiple workplace fatalities.

Until upper management in Goderich have been cleaned out its not the place to send your resume. The place is falling apart, literally, it's an underground mine.  Front line supervisors are doing the best they can but seems their hands are tied. If upper management says they will do somethin make sure to gets written down and they sign it.

Compass Minerals is an unsafe work environment with a culture that turns a blind eye to workplace harassment. Management is full of unorganized and bad leaders who favour certain employees over others. Senior employees in the Maintenance Dept. are not willing to properly train new employees. Think twice about taking a job here!

The people you work with daily are great. Managers have no respect for eachother or the employees who work there. No communication within management or to employees. Bullying, fear and intimidation tactics are regularly used to keep employees on edge.

Love working there good money when you're on the right schedule it's awesome good balance of work and home life it's fun exciting doing different things everyday good team there supervisors are friendly can get along with the most of them equal opportunities

This is not a safe place to work. Management team is corrupt at all levels, local to corporate. Lives are lost, conditions are intolerable. For as long as people continue to seek employment here, Compass will continue to disregard its responsibilities.

Poor work environment/setting where change is frowned upon and as supervisor you have zero support from upper management as the union calls the shots at this mine. Major lack of direction and their high turnover rate proves it.

The job is good. Very different work experience. 
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any respect from management, be it local or corporate, towards the supervisors and unionized employees.
