The bad: Some members in leadership have every single quality of what you’d expect to see from an individual in high school. Jobs and positions are not assigned based on a workers performance or qualifications but rather on how much that worker is liked. Team leaders are self centered and regularly sacrifice their work ethics in exchange for popularity and acceptance amongst the few workers that matter to said team leader. This toxic work atmosphere isn’t always bad especially if you are one of the lucky few that are benefiting from being liked or you’ve inflated egos well enough to make it. There’s a real sense of unprofessionalism going on between regular workers and team leads. Leads get away with it for whatever reason and it’s really becoming the normal song and dance at this company. 

The good: The pay is good , most regular workers are good and you can learn new things or ask to learn new things. If the company straightens out the couple bad apples that are in the environment everything will go much better and it might be a happy work environment to work in again. 

I have never worked for a company ran so backwards. I should have listened to everyone about working here at the Phoenix facility. They have been through probably 5 or 6 maintenance managers, supervisors and plant engineers through the last year in a half. This was just a pit stop and needed something before getting background check and all that good stuff before getting hired at a real manufacturing company. They don't pay. HR has no clue in how to hire people nor does the plant manager. 20 years in the skilled trades and management background this by far is the worst company I have ever worked for. How do they take advice from a dime a dozen production supervisor over a manager who has ran real manufacturing companies. They need to realize production doesn't keep plants going maintenance does. Production supervisor, managers, and employees are a dime a dozen. Treat your skilled trades employees with respect because most of them have more college and experience then your production employees. STAY AWAY.

I worked production for a few years at Leclerc and can honestly say I only stayed because it was close enough to my house.  The company offers good benefits, and the pay is fair, but not the best. There are some really good people who work there,as far as production, sanitation  and mechanics.But where it becomes slippery with this company  falls in with management and the higher ups.The company is one big click! I have seen people who are liked by management get away with doing the most,while others who are not in the click get written up for doing far less.It seems enticing at first,but once you have worked there a while you will come to see the dynamics and how each person plays his/her part. Only work here if you are desperate for a job.I would not recommend working here, based on my experience.

Leclerc is another declining business when it comes to benefits and treatment of employees.  
Issues below
1) non responsive HR department to issues or questions 
2) pay discrepancies with no explanation or correction 
3) lack of training for all employees 
4) vacation discrepancies on hours accrued and pay rate
5) poor health insurance, lack of coverage and rejection of medical bills
6) no accountability to under performing or incompetent employees 
7) pay and raises are not based on experience or  how well you do your job.  Raises are based on years of service only.  
8) poor management 
9) equipment is not properly maintained or repaired.  Newly installed equipment may not work properly after install or due to lack of trained personnel equipment is damaged and setup incorrectly.  


Arrive early-put on uniform-wash / sanitize hands-punch in. Start laundry-walk the production floor- prioritize what needs to be done 1st, 2nd and so on. check with operators before production begins to make sure there fully stocked with supplies and GO !  When taking breaks I would 1st tend to laundry-keeping it caught up. I assisted production lines when I saw a need or was asked to. I had to be organized and fast to accomplish my work load. I was very liked by my co-workers as I tended to their needs and assisted them when they needed help. The hardest part was when it rained real hard and flooded the factory before they repaired the roof and entrances.-what a mess ! the best part was leaving satisfied, content that I got everything done that I possibly could.

Worked on all lines in plant to make sure all equipment is sanitized and ready for food production. I learned how to pay huge attention to detail because of the allergic foods we made everything needed to be cleaned and sanitized to were no traces of the food were left for another product to be run on the equipment. Management was horrible my boss had an ego problem and was very hard to talk to about issues in the work place, made it very hard for fellow co-workers and myself to approach him about concerns we had. The hardest part for me was cleaning the equipment in a short time period to make sure it is ready for production the next day.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Don't apply here unless you really need a job. Super stressful. If you happen to work with one of the good managers, you might be okay, but don't count on it. Only redeeming quality is that only one person there is delusional. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Depends on your position. But a lot of stress comes from production standards.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
If you are low on the totem pole, it is adjusting to the people they are mostly good folks, but you need to make the effort to get to know them and be respectful. Higher up is just toxic. Don't work here if you want any meaningful career experience.

Pathetic management. These people are the most dishonest hacks I have ever worked for. They lie about scrap and 1st shift efficiencies.  The production manager, under the guidance of the plant manager,changes production numbers and downtime to make the incompetent first shift look better. This is a Canadian family owned company that obviously doesn't care what is happening in Phoenix or they would clean house. This plant is soon to close, under current management. People are leaving as soon as they can. Unbelievable poor retention rate.

I am currently employed at Leclerc Foods USA as the quality assurance/quality control technician. In this position I ensure product is running at their optimal level with no contaminants such as glass, plastic, or metal. I am responsible for doing sensory evaluation on the aged products to ensure the ingredients are still safe to consume. I also conduct the following:
- Brix tests - Moisture analysis - Water activity tests
- PH tests - Calibration of equipment - Inspections of raw ingredients
- Allergen tests - Microbiological tests - Sanitizer inspections

What is the best part of working at the company?
Good working environment,  learning more skills  , wonderful leadership 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Minimal stress as I have to work at night but I love it . 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The environment is Very favorable to anyone . Cleanliness is the culture of the company and they take safety very seriously.  Best place to work for everyone 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
My days are made with smiles.  Good team work
