Elrus Aggregate Systems

The best word to describe ELRUS?  Brutal.  The company culture and performance fell off a cliff once the new owners (GLBH) bought the company.  The leadership team gets rid of good, talented people when they are challenged, or new ideas are brought in, favoring under-performing sales 'leaders,' and the owner's kid.  The company went from valuing quality, teamwork, responsiveness, and capability to a shell of its former self.  Company performance is dismal, hitting less than half of their revenue goals.  Sales are non-existent, work has dried up.  Morale is terrible, and anyone with any skill is leaving for greener pastures and a more secure future.

The largest building boom in Canadian history, and ELRUS' competitors are doing great supplying equipment to a booming industry.  ELRUS?  No one wants to do business with them.  Can't blame them, really.  Who wants to pay top dollar for equipment that hasn't been updated since the 80's, guided by the CEO of a failed chocolate business?

Used to be good place to work until new ownership put in a new "leader". Now moral and culture is terrible. Used to be open communication and sharing ideas, now keep your head down, do what your told don't ask questions.
All senior and middle manager that where knowledgeable and effective leaders have been dismissed or quit. The couple they kept are the worst, dishonest, untrustworthy, have no idea why they kept them. All the design group staff have quit. Almost all the sales team have quit. 4 HR administrators in 2 years. 
No equipment sales in months. Used to have at least 5 units on the go at a time, now everybody working on 1 or 2 - how long can this last like this? 
People used to care about each other, quality, continuous improvement and the company but now just trying to get through the day. Occasional town hall where promises are made but no follow through.


Lots of changes lately, none for the better.  The new management, which consists of the same CEO, the owner's kid, and 'sales leaders' are struggling, badly.  The company is being kept afloat by a couple of supervisors and a decent team of knowledgeable workers.
If we have to have another team meeting where a former RV salesman tries to convince us of his 'modern thinking' and 'intelligent management' I'm going to leave.  Have feelers out already for another role.
We used to have very capable management who cared about the team, now, it's every man for themselves.  Not a good culture.
If you're thinking about working here, save yourself the trouble and move on.  


well if I've ever worked in a more dysfunctional environment this takes the cake.... new management was hired same time i was. As a result of this co workers suspected me as a spy. Lol this place was a nightmare. My back looks swiss cheese from all the back stabbing going on. Look ill be honest i loved the job but half the employee's were young adults. They had a system before the new management and when he arrived he changed things in my opinion for the good but i suffered the repercussions due to the fact that i worked directly under him as a so called spy from the rest of the team .

I like working for this company. I like the new management. A really good group of employees to work with every day. High production facility with good job benefits and they got a good safety program. Great product, the machines are the best.

Thankfully they got rid of a lot of dead weight recently and the now new managers are a lot better with more intelligence and modern thinking. Things are really starting to improve. Recently just did performance reviews with everybody and they were good. Everyone is talking openly now.


- Good place to work.
- They give enough work hours.
- You can work overtime if you want.
- Safety is a must is a culture.
- Most days work days are normal, except  from time to 
  Time pressure to meet the order date lock.
- Management not bad, but there's two supervisors they 
  Can't get along with the management, co.Worker even  
  Themselves, they give everybody hard time. But they 
   Keep them why? I don't know.

Oof. The company is going downhill, fast. Sales are way down, and the management is absolutely abysmal. The CEO, who comes from a failing chocolate business doesn’t have a clue how to run an equipment manufacturing business, and won’t keep any managers who do. The industry is running away from ELRUS, and it’s sad to see such a great company fall so hard, so fast. Poor leadership from the owner and CEO. Morale is terrible, sales team constantly looking for new roles.

ELRUS used to be a great place to work. The ownership now is absolutely pathetic. The CEO is a joke. They keep firing managers who want to make a difference. Morale is terrible, and we hear rumors that sales numbers are way down. CEO and management don’t talk to staff (well, one guy did, but he’s gone now). I think this is the beginning of the end of a once-great company.  I’m definitely looking elsewhere.

Once new management took over and gutted all of upper management, it was expected that middle management would run the company with little oversight and when that backfired they laid all of middle management and half the office staff off. Not a good place to work with very little work coming in and future prospects not looking good

I worked at the port Kells location as service technician, yes a cheap way to say that you need to know welding , fabrication,millwright, electrical, and computer system , lots to learn ,interesting work , great support from Calgary, I would still be there if they didn’t move to present location
