Canada Fibers Ltd

Typical workday would be senior managers running behind each other's backs, in secrecy, closed doors, tension, bully tactics and lots of shady business dealings.  Legacy employees shut out new hires or  those who don't embrace said shady business dealings. Divisions invoicing vendors for services not rendered & getting kick backs.  Either you are aware of them, or you aren't.   But unless you are okay with it - this isn't the place for you.

There is no leadership. It is driven off personal agendas and it lacks professionalism is every aspect of a workplace environment.

Medical benefits are horrible.

Workplace culture is very uncomfortable, walking on eggshells while you are judged or set-up for failure.  Managers like to think they are way better than the people hired or pushed into roles they don't want.

Most enjoyable part of working at Canada Fibres Ltd (Urban Group of Companies) was going home at the end of the day.  

Generally it is a very toxic environment no matter location you work from.

Upper management is working too busy on their personal agendas to offer training or direction. Middle management is too busy trying to figure out what’s going on with Company objectives to even try and train their staff or direct them.  Recently added HR department works only for the Company, not employee, so don’t even bother.    Marketing Department is a joke with that employee coming from outside the industry and having zero marketing experience. 

Overall experience is like being in a hurricane, ever spinning around in circles, never going up, never coming down and just staying lost.  Keep your head down, because if you speak up – it does nothing except shorten your stay with them!  It truly is criminal how a person can walk in with such high hopes and aspirations for a bright future and forward career movement to only watch as how quick they flush it all down the toilet – all while keeping a smile on their face!

Working on a assembly line can be very fun with the right co-workers! Its a very fast pased job! The management team were very pleasent to work with and the co-workers made it easier for me to come back and continue working with this company! Working with garbage and recycle, made it a unhealthy for me to work for them! Though i enjoyed working with my co-workers and he management team who were all so good!

it's the co-workers at work that inspire and motivate me to work harder each day. i learned how to manage a group of employees. the management was good. the co-workers at work were entertaining. the hardest part of the job is working in the freezing cold without any breaks in between to keep us warm. the most enjoyable part of the job is being around good people.

My typical day was to arrive and go straight to my cube. I loved what I did so it didn't matter to me that the people in the office all hated each other. The management is secretive and dismissive.
They paid well so you can swallow the way you're treated.

Canada Fibers Ltd is one of the hardest  environments I have ever worked in. At the same time one of the most gratifying places I worked.  This company will not ask of you anything that they have not trained you for. That being said If you are a hard working individual you will flex every muscle in your body on this job. One of the best teams I have the ability to work with.

Will hire you for temporary need, then set you up for failure and then fire you.
Seen this many many times, if you are not a family or "original" member from old location, you will not last here. They will never, ever promote you even if you deserve it.
HR not there to help you, only works against you.

the pay is well, but that is pretty much it. Mentally exhausting, old school mentality, physical environment depends on too many factors, work politics, etc. 

If you really need a job or the experience, you will get a decent amount. however, do not make this company a career.

I worked for this company and it's just the worst experience in my life, I simply hated everything about this company. they have no respect for others and the culture is poisoned. I highly don't recommend someone to work with them, you will just waste your time and your future.
