Mauser Packaging Solutions

Working for Mauser Packaging Solutions in Langley provided a mixed experience, largely influenced by the contrasting dynamics between the dedicated front line staff and the management. 

Pros:

The front line staff at Mauser Packaging Solutions are commendable for their hard work and dedication. Despite facing challenges and sometimes inadequate support from management, they consistently strive to meet production goals and maintain operational efficiency. Their commitment is evident in their daily efforts to ensure tasks are completed effectively and quality standards are met.

Cons:

Unfortunately, the management style at Mauser Packaging Solutions is a significant drawback. It can be described as self-centered, unprofessional, and often backward-thinking. Managers seem more focused on their personal agendas rather than fostering a collaborative and supportive work environment. This approach has created a corrosive atmosphere where internal relationships suffer, and morale among employees is adversely affected.

Specific Issues:

One of the most critical concerns at Mauser Packaging Solutions in Langley is the persistently high employee turnover, largely attributed to the toxic management style of a specific manager. This manager is characterized by poor communication skills, demonstrated through a lack of empathy towards subordinates and an inability to collaborate effectively within a team environment. Their self-serving approach not only undermines morale but also creates a divisive atmosphere among colleagues. This toxic management style fosters discontent and frustration among employees, ultimately contributing to the organization's challenges in retaining talented staff. Addressing these issues is crucial for improving workplace culture and employee retention at Mauser Packaging Solutions.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, while the hourly staff at Mauser Packaging Solutions in Langley demonstrated admirable dedication and hard work, the management's self-centered and divisive approach is a significant concern. Addressing these management issues could greatly improve the workplace environment, fostering greater cooperation, morale, and ultimately enhancing overall productivity. Employees deserve a supportive and respectful workplace, and it is essential for management to reflect on their practices and strive for positive change.

Was a good company to work for when I first started. New managers came in recent years and that was the end. Bully culture and my way or the highway is the attitude.The Corporate preaches how great and progressive the company is but this couldn’t be farther from the truth on the production floor. Absolutely horrible benefits and pay, they shut down few days twice year for inventory and during Christmas you have to use your vacation hours you are hardly left with any vacation days . Not a place you could ever trust management to do the right thing.Employees are often left feeling powerless to address their concerns, as speaking out against management comes with the risk of retaliation.The impact of this toxic work environment extends beyond individual employees, affecting team dynamics and overall productivity . Management only care about their bonuses they play with numbers they'll do cost cutting and play all kind of tricks to make numbers look good so they get bonuses. GM will hardly come on production floor say hello to employees will never recognize your hard work and appreciate you. This place is crawling with Managers and Supervisors whose only intend is to kick out people especially if you are not in their political circles. It is going downhill quicker than ever. I Can’t wait to find another job and move along. Very scary working here.

This place wont be around much longer, Its going down the hill so badly , nobody cares here anymore. Managers are useless very unprofessional they act like kids in high school. There is favouritism and nepotism in Maintenance department if you are managers and supervisors favorite you can sit around joke around all day long with them do nothing and get paid. It used to be a great company to work for as things have changed over time. Poor management and lack of leadership. Politics play a huge role in any role here. Pay and benefits is awful. Company seems nice on the outside but once you join you realize how poorly run the organization it is.There is zero loyalty to long term employees. The management does not care about people. Safety is just a word , highly toxic work environment they dont treat you like a person you are just a number. Management are just after there monthly or annually bonuses they never recognize your hard work. As far as career advancement, it is a dumpster fire. Quite similar to children running around a maze. DO NOT APPLY JOB AT THIS PLACE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE TREATED JUST AS A NUMBER AND HAVE NO CAREER ADVANCEMENT. NEW EMPLOYEES MOSTLY LAST FEW WEEKS OR MONTHS OR SOME EVEN DISAPPEAR AFTER THERE FIRST BREAK ON FIRST DAY AT WORK THATS HOW BAD THE WORK ENVIRONMENT IS HERE.

This place is one of those workplaes managed by people who don't actually care about their employees. They pretend to but they don't really respect you. Mostly everyone here is just in it for themselves and will work their employees to the bone just to make themselves look good for their bonuses. They are all fake and dont actually provide leadership they just want this dictatorship against their employees because there is no union involved to bridge the gap and keep them in check. Very strong "blame culture" here among employees  its very toxic. The managers here are just a bunch of losers and nerds to be honest. The culture here is TERRIBLE. 

There are a handful of somewhat decent people that work here and a small handful of very good people but most of the people that work here are bad people (managers & employees all included) some of the most disgusting creatures I've ever been around and they all have mental problems.


THIS IS A TERRIBLE PLACE TO WORK DO NOT LET THEM FOOL YOU TRY TO GET A DIFFERENT JOB THIS PLACE SUCKS.

At first, it was very difficult for me as a laborer. Training was limited and extremely confusing for a newly hired employee. Eventually, the job got better and easier to understand and manage. However, what never improved much were the people, especially this one supervisor of Vietnamese descent. He is known throughout the entire warehouse, even from different departments as very rude, inpatient, provoking, and all around giving cold shoulders with very rude assistance to all his employees. He works in the printing department, and honestly even now gives me PTSD thinking about it. This job position left an all-around bad taste in my mouth simply due to him . I will say when the other supervisor was around instead of him, as he is very kind, super chill, helps out without making you feel bad about yourself, very patient, and calm. My co-workers as well were also genuinely amazing fun and kind to be around which is not often to find in a environment like this. They were really understanding and supportive all around making the fast paced job feel much better. I would highly recommend this job to anyone looking for money, and having their bills paid. It was just the one supervisor that I would look out for, besides all is great!

The people I work with on a day to day basis are excellent and fun to be around, everyday is a new task and learning experience. Cons are management seems to not know what they are doing, many purchase requests are denied and then downtime is blamed on maintenance when waiting on parts. Machines have minimal downtime for preventative maintenance. Getting specific safety training for tasks such as arc flash, scissor lift, fall arrest, can be difficult as it falls on department managers and supervisors to find and enrol employees and not organized by corporate or safety manager. Forklift drivers are not held accountable for accidents, near misses or damage caused to or by forklifts. Very very hot in the summer time as there is no air conditioning and not enough ventilation fans pulling out heat from machines. Overall I do like working here but mostly because of the people in my department.

As a temp it did pay the bills to get by, but not really a place most people stay. Its definetly steady work but It was always a revolving door and management likes it that way and the people who have stayed.... it's not because they're exactly happy about it. Aswell I honestly dont think I've ever seen people treat each other that horribly at any workplace ive ever come across and even the supervisors engage in the same behaviour. Super hot conditions especially in summer like unbareably hot and they get upset and rude if you start sweating also wont let you have water bottle. Not much training aswell I found it rather confusing as no one seems to have time to help really and if you ask for help usually its met with condescending eye rolls or a rude comment. It's okay as temp position but not really a place to settle down

Great company but toxic environment."People dont leave bad companies they leave bad managers".Like so many places the jobs are great it's the management that screws things up and people don't want to stay. Just being in a management position does not give you some kind of superiority making you better than everyone else.Your there to make things run smoothly not rag on people. If not you will just drive people away and be continually be looking for people to work for you. I would never recommend anyone to apply job at Mauser Langley. The plant is broken down more than it runs.Management plays bad politics , they always talk about safety just to show Corporate but infact safety is the last thing they care about and if something happens they will find a way to blame it on employee Management cares more about your production numbers than your life or limbs

Lots of lip service regarding safety, no safety tours have taken place in several years, safety suggestions are ignored, accident investigations are complete misrepresentations of what actually happened to cause the injuries, and the extent of the injuries. Safety record is nearing 1000 days, yet there have been time loss injuries.

Complete lack of leadership at all levels of management, and this is reflected throughout the company in the form of poorly maintained equipment, poor quality, and a general feeling of apathy among employees.

The best part of the job is watching the management group trying to solve problems minute by minute, working completely in a vacuum, and never learning from, or even being able to recall yesterdays problems.

Like I said, the cheques don't bounce, yet!
