Lohmann Breeders Canada LTD

Absolutely horrible. Zero training, zero health and safety concerns,zero appreciation. Every manager, so called “supervisor” and HR are unqualified but get their positions by back stabbing and favouritism. The errors that occur due to their incompetence will always get blamed on the employees.This company and these people are the most negative I’ve ever worked with. You are talked down to, yelled at and blamed. The job, the smells, the temperature, lack of health and safety, the staff and especially the management  will wear you down and demoralized you.

Zero work/life balance. They are always short staffed so on one hand there is job security, on the other hand you will get burnt out quickly. There is no training provided, figure it out or hope a more senior coworker will take pitty on you and show you. Management is a joke, HR is out of touch with reality. You will be underpaid, you will not get raises above mandatory minimums. Tell them you have kids, that's the only way to get out of staying late or working every weekend. Injuries are common, but no point in reporting them because it'll always be your fault.

All in all it is great place to build a launch pad for your career in the poultry industry, specifically if you're a new agriculture graduate. Like any work place, the promise to grow is also dependent on the initiatives and willingness shown by the candidate. The support of management to help you grow is very welcoming. Salary starts well, but stagnates with empty promises of raises, which was the one issue I had with management.

No personal life because you are so exhausted from being overworked.  Not enough employees and no initiatives to hire more. Incompetent HR who does nothing. After your probationary period you work every weekend. Don't get sick because there are no excuses for not coming in. Don't expect a raise before a year and then if you are lucky enough to get one good luck getting another any time soon. Job security is there because they can't afford to lose anyone.

Lohmann is a company that has seen many changes over the last few years. It is definitely on the right track with new management and the company has been very vigilant with all the COVID safety measures. There are days where long hours are required in order to finish the work, but this is always balanced with other shorter days. Many great people that will support you and help when needed. The benefits have gotten better and the RRSP matching is nice to have.    

I came here because I was browsing information on our company and I see many reviews complaining. It's not rocket science, you come to work on time, do your job, which doesn't change much, and go home. Rinse/repeat. Sometimes it's frustrating to have others work half as much and you have to pick up the slack. But the pay is good, and the company does consider your personal problems and doesn't toss you on your butt. The people complaining are never happy. 

After your probationary period you will rarely get a weekend off, those are only for management. The workers have all given up and are just going through the motions (they just don't care anymore). The manager of the pedigree barn is a petulant manchild. Upper management are clueless or simply don't care, they're forever "working on it" or "looking into it" bur nothing ever comes of it. You will work more than 8 hours, you will always be short staffed, you do not get overtime pay, you will never get a promotion or a pay raise.

The job can be difficult sometimes with last minute changes and extra duties required in the start of a flock as well as the end. This is agriculture so it is to be expected. Most of the time it is a normal work schedule with not much overtime hours. The company tries to take care of its employees and always wants people to be happy. Salaries are always a discussion but I think that is everywhere after COVID. We didn't stop at all during the pandemic and I was never afraid of being laid off. 

Lohmann Breeders Canada has a great company culture.  I feel valued and appreciated for the work I do.  We all work together to get tasks done.  Great team dynamics.  Very positive work environment.   Job duties are repetitive, but not hard at all.   We can have long hours here and there, depending on the time of year, but overall pretty consistent hours.   Lohmann offers great benefits and RRSPs.  Wages are competitive.     I am enjoying my time here and would highly recommend Lohmann.

The job is extremely demanding, leaving little to no personal life after work due to the exhaustion it causes. The constant state of being short-staffed exacerbates the situation, which is unsurprising given the hard nature of the work and the low pay offered.

Management and HR seem ineffective, with a noticeable lack of communication. This creates an environment where issues are not addressed, further contributing to the overall dissatisfaction among employees.
