Stay away 
While there are moments they think appreciation  is shown through gestures like pizza lunches and ice cream trucks, these surface-level perks fall short of addressing more systemic concerns within the organization. A recurring issue appears to be a management culture that prioritizes leadership roles over the well-being and development of employees.

Concerns brought to HR often go unaddressed or are overlooked entirely, and the frequent turnover among HR assistants may point to deeper organizational challenges that require attention. This lack of effective HR support has contributed to an environment where employee feedback feels undervalued.

Compensation remains a significant pain point, with raises and salaries not keeping pace with the cost of living. There's a strong sentiment that employees are expected to give more without adequate recognition or meaningful support in return.

Of particular concern is the treatment of long-term, loyal employees. Many feel that their years of service are met with diminishing respect and poor management decisions—particularly within customer service—reflecting a broader issue of leadership misalignment and disengagement.
It is not one company one team.

addressing the core issues around leadership accountability, compensation, and employee respect is essential for the company to retain talent and foster a healthy workplace culture.    No where to move up    Limited opportunities  for advancement 

Work with customers and sales reps to create packaging to meet customers needs. 

Learned a lot about corrugate. 

Manager's oversee way too many people and departments and as a result may not know how to assist you if you require assistance. However they're trying to modernize themselves, but still stuck in an old school mentality on how to work with employees. the company would rather throw people at the problem, rather than finding ways to be efficient by providing proper training. This is a result of high turnovers and lack of exit interviews to determine the companies strength and weaknesses. 

Zero workplace culture. Show up, do your 8 hours, go home. No sense of teamwork, belonging or leadership. Many people on edge due to the stress and lack of teamwork and communication which reflect poorly on leadership.

The hardest part of the job is how stressful it can be due to demand of sales reps, customers and other employees. Management knows about it. Managers rather blame employees rather than find the root of a problem and provide training. It's typical to find your co-workers in tears.

The most enjoyable part of the job is working with your customers and sales reps to find ways to made a difference with your customers products.

There's a 6 month probationary period. 

There are several job position opportunities. But you start at the bottom first and can advance quickly through the various positions. There's always an opportunity 

This is a unionized environment. There are opportunities for attendance bonuses, RRSP matching amongst other perks.

Supervisors and managers place a lot of pressure on workers to increase productivity. A green/amber/red lighting system is operating while presses are operating which operate on an algorithm that consistently push for faster and higher productivity results; from a business perspective I get it, but this results in a lot of agitated press operators, 2nd Pressman and workers and unsatisfied supervisors. 

Expect to be pushed to your limit physically at times. The good part is your body will adapt physically and mentally. So be prepared to be challenged. 

I personally enjoyed the fast pace and challenge and worked in various areas. 

Overall I was very satisfied with Moore Packaging.

At first glance this company appears to have it's act together.  Aptitude test, prompt interview and extensive safety training. What it doesn't do is prepare you for the atmosphere on the plant floor. 

As far as unions go, this is the worst example i've  come across. Toxic.  Keep in mind this is a box factory; nobody is saving lives or solving world peace. People here treat their employee numbers like a rank to be saluted. 

You'll be under the microscope for your 6 month probation, fair enough. But it's not just management you have to justify your existence to. 1/10 plant workers here are tolerable, 1/20 is even pleasant.  I feel badly for temp workers from the agency who are treated with casual disdain.

The work itself isn't bad. On a slow day, you'll be sweeping the floor for 8 hours. On a busy day, you're feeding Ace Bakery boxes at speed for 8 hours. The environment itself isn't terrible either. Noisy, hot, dusty but you get used to it.

If you love social politics and feel like ingratiating yourself to some of the most ignorant people in Ontario, this is the place for you.  Otherwise, don't bother.

This was quite honestly the most demeaning job I have ever worked. Management expect far too much out of you, such as constant overtime. If you are unwilling to work overtime, you will not be hired.

This company has extremely high turnover as they tend to let people go within the 6 months. 

You are only given a 10 and 20 minute break they are legally required to pay for, they try to frame it as paid breaks when in reality it's something that's legally required.

Extremely unorganized and poor management. Rude, unsupportive management that has very little regard for employees time or health. Numerous covid outbreaks, we work together at very close distance. 

Do not apply to this job unless you're looking for temporary employment, not worth the pay, and not worth destroying your body. The people who work there are extremely miserable, they intentionally keep people who will tell you the truth about the company away from new employees.

The worker and higher up divide is very clear. Alternated days and afternoons every other week, was hard to adjust to.

I was a summer student there, we didn’t get the full 40 hours most of the time because there was no work so they would send us home early. That being said, I feel I was paid fairly. It’s like 40 degrees there during the summer, so it’s exhausting, it is also loud. 
Being a student, there were no benefits. 
Supervisors were way more focused on numbers rather than quality (we had to run a whole run of misprints, even though we would be wasting time sorting through it later. When we brought this up cause it made no sense, we were told we were there to make boxes, not sense).
Was good for a summer job, but I wouldn’t go back.

My day would consist mostly of the design and fabrication process of multiple samples. I had the opportunity to work with a CAD Table and other machinery. I mostly worked independently on my own projects for various companies. Organization was the key to success in this plant due to the sudden outburst of workloads. The most enjoyable part of the job was being able to create side projects which were often for charity.

Very good company to work for . Some management not very people friendly. I learned to manage and organize my work day to maximize production . My fellow employees were easy to get along with and I still have a few good friends there. The hardest part of my job was dealing with 2 or 3 of the management team .The best part of my work day there was running the company social  committee .

Just stuck in one job line of progression killed my seniority.
Had a agreement on a situation of my health the hacked out on.
But the company works real well with you personal stuff.
Used to have a open door communications but office all lock up like fort Knox.
It's a good place to work just keep your life to yourself and do your job without complaining
