Lamb Weston

I found poor communication. High turnover rate due to stressful environment and attitude problems with unqualified managers. They went through 6 or 7 supervisors in 6 years in my department, 2 department managers and a number of team members from my department. They also fired a number of people from other departments and had many production staff turnovers as well as supervisors in the general plant. They also had several high level management changes while I was there. I would call it a toxic work place.

I enjoy working in a fast-paced environment. The refrigeration side contains 50,000 pounds of ammonia using 13 screw compressors and all associated equipment required.(Thermo siphon, condensers, evaporators, Pump traps, etc. We use 2 high pressure steam systems. (250 psi) (125 psi) with all the associated equipment including economizers, flue gas recirculation systems, high pressure condensate return systems, water de-alkalizers, water softeners, etc.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Safe work environment, PPE availability.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management are condescending, Its a top down hierarchy that has very little respect for the people on the floor doing the work.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
WOKE culture, Un cohesive workforce.


What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Un organized, Alot of waste and poor direction.

One of the worst company to deal with.  To many people that has no clue what they are doing. They have to many useless department and they have no communication.  The head office is in the US and they are clueless. The CEO should wake up and cut down half of is staff lots of them doesn't  know if they are going forward or backward. Their hiring process is terrible and the HR department has no clue what they are looking for.  

Brutal Management at the top with their dishonesty and greed for personal bonuses that compromised a satisfying work life.  Top management often misrepresented reality of work in Taber with the Corporation located in the United States.  Be careful of this employer.   I believe the company is good but the top management is corrupted for their personal gain

What is the best part of working at the company?
Good training and workplace environment 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
cultural differences, behaviour and attitudes of an employee 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
employees had mandatory monthly trainings. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
people are approachable but not all

Challenging management style.  Does not follow Alberta Labor act very well. An American company that feels they can do what they want and even bring in cross boarder workers for repairs here in Canada.  Without working visa's

The training here are very good but then on the actual none of those applies. Yes they reminded you safety first but the actual work does not really apply on what you are doing at the plant. 



It is a dynamic plant where you look after both, a very big refrigeration plant, two water tube boilers, air compressors, and potato fryers.

Management is quite friendly and production employees are very cooperative. Plant runs smooth and exceeds expected production.

I worked for almost 3 months at Lamb Weston when i was let go because it was just a tempoary job. This was not a job but seasonal. It was never said in the ads or at the job interview it was a seasonal job or a temporary job.
