Martin-Brower of Canada Ltd

Favortism when work load assignments passed out. Some pick all day and others allowed to sit in office or on forklifts chatting most of the shift.

Management plays biases with those who stroke their ego and talk about golf instead of recognizing those working hard picking all shift.

Lead hands not on duty still get all the easy work and got paid more than contract said. Creates poor work atmosphere.

Supervisors are stressed out and most immediately look for other employment ASAP.

There is something seriously wrong with the warehouse management that run this facility. They jump to conclusions, make irrational-emotional decisions and are subjective rather than objective to what or whom they deal with. When an error is made by them that a warehouse person or driver brings to their attention, their response is slow and attitude is immature to the group as to say who are you to know better than us.

Fairness is severely lacking at this facility. If you are cronies with the warehouse management you will survive physically in work load, but if you are honest and say nothing and keep your head down and work, warehouse management will drive you into the ground until you break.

God forbid if you exceed your pick times for an order and sit down for few seconds to drink a cup of water to re-energize they will chase after you and discipline or threaten to discipline you for wasting company time; meanwhile the management and their warehouse person cronies are hanging out in the shipping office joking around doing nothing.

I am optimistic that other Martin Brower management facilities are fair, calm, cool, collected and appreciative of input and I hope change happens here soon.

Pros
Decent pay. Union benefits.
Cons
I've been with Martin brower for 5 years and I've had the chance to work at a couple different locations. Over all the management are immature and incapable of taking feedback seriously. They hire compleTe losers all people of questionable moral fortitude. The work life balance is non existant you are constantly working too hard and too llong. Injuries are an inevitability, the management will force you to work too hard and your constantly under the threat of being fired. The insider politics game is rife and corrupt. There is absolutely no fair ness at all here. The schedules for anyone with less then 10 years are always evenings and weekends and you will have no life and lose your will to live. Never have I been more harassed or degraded then I have in this company. It feels like prison or some weird sect. Alas you will be lured by the money and pigeon holed before you know it and you'll be dying a little inside everyday. Martin brower is the worst thing that's ever happened to me.
