Saint-Gobain

our days is usually loaded because of the business activity in the region and deadlines we need to meet.

during my work with SG, I have learned a lot related to people development and strategic thinking.

our management is close to all employees and operate with an open door policy, it is easy to access them whenever it is needed ( for personal matters and work related matters)

the company has set principles related to action and conduct that all employees respect, which creates a better workplace and positive environment despite the workload that we suffer from.

the hardest part in the job is when we have to separate with talents with regards to a drop in the business and we couldn't find a suitable job within the group

the most enjoyable part about my job is the openness and the empowerment given by the company management

Just after my joining the Saint Gobin my boss was out of office for a week and I had to submit some important reports to senior management, at the same time there was some problem with the system, somehow I was able to manage the situation.

At Saint Gobain I learned many valuable skills which will be helpful in my profession.

The management style at Saint Gobain was informal and very friendly. Manager used to consult widely when a decision was called for and expect input from all concerned parties. The final decision remained, however, firmly with the manager and quick decision-making was respected by all.

My co-workers were very much cooperative.

The hardest part of the job was when my boss was constantly dropping work into my already overflowing "INBOX".

Job consisted of working one on one with customers and sales rep throughout the eastern sea board. Dealt with sales reps to ensure customer satisfaction and with customers directly to fill their orders and needs. Learned how to work in a fast paced environment, meeting customer demands and concerns. Learned how to work in a team environment, helping and assisting team members to achieve customer satisfaction. The hardest part of my job was learning the individual needs of specific geographies and the customers dialects and slangs. The most enjoyable was definitely the people. It was a great place to work and an easy, friendly environment were everyone got along and worked together.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
All and everything. Constant complaints and nitpicking. You are either in the club or you are a nobody 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very toxic and unappreciated. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Constant balme and scapegoating is what this place good at

Management are completely disconnected from the workplace and only seek to please the “higher ups”. The work atmosphere is terrible and smoking and drinking are a normal occurrence at this place.  When issues arise between employees HR will take the side of whoever can make his job harder with their complaints regardless of weather they are valid. 

The employees all are hoping for a new manager to come and pick up the moral aswell as listen to employees that mention quality issues but get looked at or treated like your an idiot and he knows it all.  If he really used Lean six sigma he would see that the employee is the greatest asset to exicute it as they are the closest to the product and have many great ideas why not utilize it.  We all put pants on one leg at a time.  Were human too.

Great place to work, benefits, pension, stock purchase plan, overtime if you want it, pay rates are excellent once you put your time in. Only knock is the continental shift rotation, very hard transitioning from nights to days during the week. Makes it hard to be with family.  95% of the workers are good people, and the supervisors are good people as well. I left to pursue a different career in another province.
