Supreme International

Overall a great company if you're starting out in the trade,If you are a go getter with a willingness to learn new things, make mistakes and a drive to move up the ladder... this is not the place for you. If you have any experience at all you will go nuts over the management's way of doing things. They hate outside perspectives or ideas, but unfortunately won't tell you why they are bad ideas.

The whole welding department is circled around the supervisor, if he is gone and something happens, you'll have to wait until he gets back because all machines are locked and won't train people on equipment. But hey you're paid by the hour not the job!

Expect to see a very relaxed work setting with good floor personnel and the occasional catered lunch. Supervisors have good intentions albeit questionable training to where most would not know the OHS definition of reasonably practicable. Management is the most dishonest I have ever encountered, expect social favouritism, to be lied to continuously, and additionally not to receive timely performance reviews (11 months to get your 90-day on-boarding review). Other aspects on note is a good sized lunch area with many microwaves, dirt/muddy parking lot with many stalls having plugins for winter time, frequent coverall cleaning, very undersized employee locker room.

Supreme International is a manufacturer of vertical feeders mainly for the cattle dairy industry with units throughout the world, however, mainly concentrated in the US.
The business is privately owned with family members throughout the management team.  Staff are not well informed about decisions made at management level resulting in scramble mode to implement the decision.
The long term staff are very knowledgeable about the product thereby making it easier to obtain historical information.

I have worked for Supreme International for 9 months now and can honestly say this is a great company to work for. The staff are wonderful and easy to communicate with. There are a lot of company functions (breakfasts, luncheons, Christmas party, BBQ's etc) The company is very safety-orientated, which is reassuring! We have awesome benefits! Supreme also matches RRSP contributions. I feel its very well managed, and overall a great work environment!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?

It was very unorganized and a lot of foreigners worked there and it was very hard to communicate with them. This made the job more harder. The management would not listen to suggestions to make things at the company easier. They made you read a policy manual but would not follow it or give you a copy.

Great learning experiences and good teamwork. Supportive management and understanding and helpful co-workers. The work itself was straight forward with many chances to grow and learn in a safe and helpful environment.

No management structure
Poorly managed 
HR dept. many is lacking knowledge
Low safety standards
No communication between departments
Owners only care about themselves and not the well being of their staff
VERY HIGH turn around rate (they cannot keep staff)

Supreme had a very hostile culture towards its employees.  Management resists change despite the facade they put on to claim they want it.  They manage with fear and expect you to be happy
