No communication between the two sides of this family, the Canadians and the Americans. As a field service engineer in the US I was caught in the middle between service in Canada and the Vermont office. I was supposed to be trained to work on their equipment but this was never completed. I was sent out into the field to work on their equipment without proper training. I was promised the western US territory but the other field service engineer didn't want to give up the area so I ended up getting his leftovers and locations he didn't want to do. In the end the other employee was upset that I was getting the jobs he wanted because I was closer and he turned vindictive. Their company policy was to review all employees at 30 days, 90 days, 1 year and every year there after. My only review came after 2 years of employment. I got a raise and a bonus and then a month later they fired me saying that my work perfomance wasn't up to their standards but the truth was the other field engineer threw me under the bus after he didn't get to go to Vancouver and wasn't set to go to Las Vegas. This is a company of liars and I advise everyone to not believe any of their promises.

Everyone has a drive to improve and help one another.  Management is supportive and listens.  The culture is a positive culture, like being part of a family and what I've been looking for.  As I told many others, taking this position was like coming home again.

In the two months I've been with the company, the hardest part of the job is working through processes and trying to make things more streamlined.  Trying to identify who does  what so collaboration can begin. Feeling more comfortable now and making the connections with various functions in order to fulfill my job responsibilities.

Most enjoyable part is having a manager that trusts what your doing and does not micro-manage. 

If your looking for a short stop in your career to gain experience as a recent grad this might be an option.  Most of the people in management positions don't have any actual management experience but were just trust into the role with out any training or guidance. Sr. Leadership micro-manages everything and doesn't trust their teams to make decisions. Executive approval is required for basically everything. Turn over is crazy high. They hired about 700 people in the last 2 years and the company only grew by about 50 so that should tell you all you need to know about the environment, management, etc. If a company can't keep people it's obvious they have major issues.     

Well apparently if you’re upper management everything is just great! Fun , dynamic, woo! But just under the management level it’s a little different. So let’s start, toxic people, managers (I use that word loosely) who obviously never had any training. HR is a joke, really a joke, employees using language that would get you fired in most places, tolerated. It’s a company that when you walk in you see the values and company vision, well that’s all for show, this is a carrot and stick company. Old school management trying to be different. Luckily this is not a long term job, because if this is a reflection of manufacturing culture this country is in dire straits. 

Laborie is a company going through some growing pains - they're working on making processes more aligned and create more structure and I see new initiatives on a regular basis to support employees. It's also a changing environment because of the growth. You need to be flexible and open to changes and have a positive attitude - if you treat others with respect and own your own work, you'll be successful. There are some really nice people that work here, supportive managers and you can make a career here.

Work from home is an option although some positions require everyday attendence.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No assistance for problems.  Co-workers do not get back to you when you have a question. Guidance from upper management that know nothing about the actual work and only want to collect information for their reports. Recent job cuts don't look good.

Corporate culture prevails, catch phrases and "opporunities" like Lunch and Learn- bring your own lunch prevail

Diverse portfolio, knowledgeable technical coworkers and relatively good compensation package.

Stressful and frustrating very few people care about product integrity

The environment at Laborie is dynamic and friendly, with new names and faces, all buzzing around with smiles and collaborating with others.    Management is open and proactive and trusting in your talents.  There is no micromanagement which promotes a much more productive work environment.  And having the flexibility to work from home is much appreciated.  I look forward to each day as it brings new challenges and opportunities to promote the health and well-being of patients all over the world.

They ask far too much from you. The position was not what they described in the interview and was misleading. Management is extremely incompetent and uses bullying tactics. There were responsibilities that you were required to do that were not in the job description. You were required to do a work that other departments were responsible for. The shipping department smelt like cannabis. Not a great place to work.
