Martin Brower has a leading certification program for Lean Six Sigma training but are still in the throws of changing their leadership culture to match their capabilities in this area.

Management will not change as long as the business model with their "one" customer does not change.  It is very sad that this is not a priority for both the customer and Martin Brower to change so they can compete better in the future.

There is much frustration generated by having a world-class Lean Six Sigma training program coupled with a highly restrictive business model with the customer.

WAS a great place to work once upon a time until new management came along. No remorse no understanding. Was 26 per hour and now new eba 21 per hour. Poor management. Safety is just for show. Poor machines. Poor racking. Nothing gets fixed unless there are big guns coming in for audit otherwise all is ignored. Favouritism is a big thing from management, other's get away with murder. Even safety officers are fustrated as they are never heard its all for paperwork. HR is no help at all, never helped by them. HR poorly managed all one sided.

What is the best part of working at the company?
the money was the only good thing

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
the management was terrible . pushed to the limits

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
it became dog eat dog and stabbing in the back

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
a typical day was fast paced and getting up at two am in the morning

A company that is still making it's way into technology way too late. 
A so-called Global Company who's HO is in NA, and only really listens if you are in NA. 
The people are great, they all put in and try so hard. it's a shame they are frequently not listed to and let down by management. If you are willing to drink to cool-aid and suck up you can go far.

MB was a very challenging role due to the culture and difficulties caused by personalities there. Nothing is ever good enough. They say pick rates are not measured, but then they bring it up all the time. The HR Team were not supportive, in fact I felt they targetted certain people. The hardest part of the job was having no flexibility on hours.

Senior management of the company is mediocre about continuous improvement or assisting with career development.

There is much executive game play going on which is mostly what the senior leadership team worries about.

The middle managers are good, the big boss you don’t get to know, the drivers that have been their a long time are the only issue in the place and act like they are superior beings.

If you want warehouse or transport work I strongly recommend going thru an Agency like IPM or program shift supervisors are great. Senior management has no interest in the care or welfare of the staff.

working part of a team helping each other get the job done also enjoy having a joke with co workers.
money was great for what we done my work week was wed-sun but also worked a lot of 6day weeks covering for other workers
