Lyons Magnus

This company has all of it's top accounts experiencing significant attrition and everyone acts like it's fine. There is no collaboration between departments, it's very much a "me first" attitude that leads to many problems.

New Senior/VP Titles get hired for little reason and few of them are from within the breadth of workers inside of the company. I don't think anyone has had the same job title after someone leaves the company, it's some amalgamation of 7 hyphened words that mean little.

 The company culture is deeply flawed: key individuals frequently arrive late to meetings, disrupt discussions with personal tangents, leave early, and reschedule at the last minute. There is a clear disregard for others' time and effort. Management displays a condescending attitude towards regular staff, leading to a toxic work environment. 

Over 15 senior sales staff and several C-Suite executives have departed due to management changes, and internal promotions are rare unless you’re part of an exclusive inner circle. The company is plagued by outdated leadership, predominantly composed of men over 55, which has led to major shifts in management and the loss of long-tenured employees. It seems the private equity owners are preparing the company for sale, focusing on short-term financial appearances rather than genuine growth with customers.

Meetings are cancelled last minute, attended late, left early, and interrupt to tell people about personal details not relevant to the limited time we have in the meeting. The company should consider the impact when long-tenured employees without offices across the back wall are leaving the company. Many in management would struggle to perform even the basic tasks that those without offices handle daily. Management gets to work half days in office so they can run errands or pick up their kids/grandchildren from school every day but regular staff has to be in 3+ days a week.

I worked there for a year and they kept on prolonging my approval for accruing PTO and holiday pay. Their reasoning was that their HR staff was on vacation so it wasn’t able to be approved. When I followed up they decided to wait until the new year to give me those benefits. When the new year came they told me I had to wait 4 more months. Eventually I quit because i could get PTO holiday pay somewhere else in those 4 months. I’m not saying everyone will have this experience but they mistreated my employment because I had 3 different coworkers that started after me and got PTO and holiday pay within 2 months. I was a hard worker and worked harder than most of the guys there that have been there for years so they definitely have favorites as well as people that they just have their eyes on all the time and look for any mistake. Also I might as well just say that the pay is not great for the amount of work each day. There’s also barely any growth within the company. Each year there are raises given to each employee and I promise you it’s anywhere between 25¢ and 75¢. I know people who have been there for years and they are barely making $20 an hour. This company is STINGY just because they are on the road to become a billion dollar company. Their onboarding paperwork actually says that they’re trying to get there. If you look at the whole picture they aren’t doing what they should be doing. If you like to be on a forklift all day it’s a cool job. If you want to get paid well and still have time for family after work, this ain’t it. 

Terrible company, do not go here, avoid at all costs if you are considering maintenance/facilities.

You will absolutely LIVE at work.

Management will not support you.

The maintenance manager is not good whatsoever, has no clue what you will face day to day, and will not support you - he will be at home with the kids while you work 70 hour weeks, and get called in night after night.

They won’t give you credit for your ideas.

After this place sucks the life out of you, they will then fire you, and move on to the next manager.

You will never advance beyond the current maintenance manager regardless of merit, achievement or knowledge.

I missed EVERY holiday with my family for 2 years as a new father. Refused to work one single weekend to make up for Father’s Day and was let go for that, as well as suggesting an “on call schedule” for my team - which is now in the job listing - this is the culture there.

The last 3/4 facilities managers have all reported the same - you won’t be respected in this role at all. You are a lap dog expected to work all the calls so the other management doesn’t have to - that is your true role.

I was head of quality at the Fresno Facility, on the senior leadership team and worked with some amazing people in transforming the way we did business; and most importantly valuing people.  We were able to move from a stagnated mindset to one of efficiency and effectiveness with the deployment of new technology and empowering employees to contribute with ideas and a forward thinking mindset.
However, the senior leadership team is not diverse at all.....when it was time to have discussions around diversity and inclusion, those inputs were ignored...I expressed my concerns to the CEO and the executive leadership team members and magically i was then "laid off".  I was told there is a plan coming for DEI-months later....crickets....
My advise to anyone of color is to seek employment elsewhere...it's not a culture fit if you're looking for an inclusive environment, where you're safe to express your views and concerns to influence the organization forward into a diverse and equitable space.  Lyons has a great deal of potential, with an awesome product line; I only wish them well, and thank them for allowing me to help in progression forward.

As a QC/QA laboratory technician, you have an opportunity to learn how to run multiple lines rather quickly, depending upon your comfort level. Due to staffing, you will be responsible for hourly line checks and product QC on multiple lines simultaneously. There is a time limit on each line check. 

The production floor is loud and slick, even with slip resistant shoes, and you will be exposed to products at high temperatures. It is necessary to also be weary of some people on the production team, as there were some that made myself and other female coworkers very uncomfortable. 

They claim to have "voluntary" weekend work, but if you don't "volunteer" for two weekend days each month they will schedule you for two weekend days without considering any scheduling conflict, these weekend days are in addition to your 40 hour work week. They also sprung a period of two weeks upon us that we would  have to work 7 days a week, starting the weekend following a 40 hour work week, without consideration for scheduling conflicts or any warning to maximize production prior to shutting down for maintenance. Production workers had unreasonable hours. 

Stay away from this Company! I was recruited for a open position and was made promises on paid holidays and vacation. What I got was not the vacation I was told during the interview and that I would not receive paid holidays until I was there a year. The position I was hired to preform was not vacant, in fact there had not been a opening to began with. My first day, I was told there was another position in the department that had opened and to take it until things changed. Well that position was not vacant either. One day I was told that the original position I was hired for was opened and I would fill it immediately. I was then promised a large increase in my pay due to waiting and some added responsibilities to the job. Well, again it didn't happen, it was all lip service due to inter department politics. The other thing to watch out for is just about everyone is related and the favoritism is really bad. I would not recommend this company to anyone. The only good thing I can say is the pay was good and that I met a few awesome people there. I wish those people the best of luck.

Worked mid-level HR with promise of growth opportunities. Turned out to not be true, job duties did not match job description upon hire, provided new job description 2-3 months into position. Work life balance was non existent and shamed for asking for help. By Third week of employment was left to solve complex problems on my own and was already having to commit to 45-55 hours a week. After several months the stress lead to my hospitalization and upon return was written up for my job duties that were incomplete during my absence. This lead to my resignation; but no one from the department showed up for work that morning so I packed up, wrote my letter and left on managements desk. I returned home and within two hours they had a final paycheck couriered to my front door. I’ve been told that most of that team no longer is employed there but after learning of the countless people with similar experience over the years i don’t have faith it’s improved. 

A typical day at work involves being ready to go as soon as you hit the door. Coworkers are real people and very open about expressing themselves. High quality products.  Cleanliness and order are a priority.
Very rugged individuals.Multicultural.  Some departments have multiple family members. Everyone except upper management wears uniforms provided by the company. Managers are hands-on and in touch with the day to day challenges of the laborers.
Most enjoyable part of the job was contributing to creating high quality products for our customers to enjoy.
The hardest part of the job was the physical variation of heat and cold, as well as the noise.

Loved my fellow employees, there are a lot of great people that work there. Management however does not follow through with promises of raises they will always give you the run around and try to sweet talk but they have no intentions of doing what they say. Databases are outdated, they desperately need to join the 21st century and change manufacturing work orders and keeping track of inventory. It’s very hectic. Expect to run into road blocks because there are several people who do not or don’t know how to use a scan gun which makes no sense considering this is a warehouse. You will do double work and not get any recognition for it. The pay is fair and there is alot of room for overtime. Benefits working there is ok. If you land a good manager it’s an ok experience but they downplay favorites so be prepared to play the game.

Lyons Magnus does not support it's leaders. Loyalty as an employee does not matter to them. They do things outside of the department and expect you to keep track. Managment and upper corporate management, offer zero support to supervisors or leads in the fields. You are expected to take day to day harassment from employees, including insubordination, being screamed at by employees, and threatened by employees, if you bring this to the attention of management they will turn it around as if you are a bad leader. Unless you are a Director or Manager you are nothing but a number to them, your loyalty and hard work does not matter. During my years there in my department alone we went through two managers, and four supervisors, my years were not many.
