Essilor Canada Ltd

I have worked in Vancouver for the last 2 years and I can not name any good thing about this place. People are saying that it was much better before, like 4-5 years ago, and that the new management is the reason for this hectic and sweatshop attitude. might be but still.
The supervisors don't care about the quality, the maintenance is trying to put fires away unsuccessfully as they are not trained and they are interested in only to do OT. The level of management is really archaic and NO knowledge whatsoever, they have no mgmt skills or optical skills. How they can get hired in this kind of position?! who hires them? There is no AC, no safety rules, it is so dirty and unsafe to work that is just a question of time to happen something. The people from Montreal head office, the "bosses"  they come only for traveling pleasure and eating in the restaurants and talk on the cell, they don't care about the employees. Is a ridiculously bad place to work and a waste of time. Cheap wages not realistic for Vancouver market, the head office HR not interested in changes and the French VP promotes a whole culture of mediocracy and ignorance, they believe in type of employee of" jack of all trades", no optical inside, no training, just cost savings, a total I DONT CARE about the customer attitude. Lots of quarrels and arguments between old and new employees, no written procedures, as the time pass pretty sure will be closed, makes no economic or business sense to keep it open.

Depending on which department you work in and how much you're willing to learn, you are given opportunities to grow and move about in the company. I can work in several areas and I'm on my second work change/ promotion and I'm still looking to explore new skills within this "family" oriented company.

Typical day at work is sitting in-front devices and do same thing all day long.     
If you want to bury yourself for years and then get thrown, then go ahead.

My last job was in Essilor Canada, it's a optical lab. I was working there as Customer Service.
I learned a lot, like data entry how to manage and deal with doctors and customers.
Co-workes was good and friendly.

Very poor culture , bottom feeder salary, no career , no recognition , nothing to work for just min wages and poor conditions , no AC, no vision.  Never back !

A friendly and supportive workplace where management was encouraging, understanding and helpful. A great place to come to every day. Staff were a pleasure to work with.

very bad attitude from the team manager, yelling employees all the time

inside the production line is a  toxic environment, whit a plastic burned smell

I've learned a very meticulous work specially in quatily controlling.
