Plexxus

as a current warehouse worker for a year now I can safely say this company is a penny pinching, deceiving, borderline toxic environment with very little to no room for advancement. I can only speak for the warehouse but firstly the hours are incredibly inconvenient (11-7 or 12-8pm no morning shift) so you never get a regular life and most shifts are Sunday - Thursday. We are incredibly over worked with beyond brain dead repetitive labour that will not only impact your physical health but also your mental health the place is so out of date and dirty (both washroom and change room are filthy and disgusting) this isn’t even the worst parts the turnover rate is beyond comprehensible which effects every aspect of your job  you are constantly working with new employees that soon discover why the turnover rate is so high  our bonuses  withWe’re promised  are based on goals and deadlines which are never met because employees never last and it is team based  we were promised 2 week vacation after a year and then told said vacation time must be earned  not to mention you work every holiday  as an employee we get no social aspect or any kind of work sanctioned events (not even a Christmas party) it becomes incredibly clear your life will become and remain unhappy  it is depressing to see such great workers treated as such  lots of immigrants who can’tget any other jobs are hand picked here as that is what they want  desperate employees that are either intimidated to speak there mind or don’t have a choice but to put up with the companies unorthodox way of work  it’s a sad and depressing day in and day out environment  lots of people get fired for little things (coming few minutes late from your unpaid lunch) meanwhile there is management that have asked me personally to purchase them booze to drink on the job  it actually makes sense drinking on the job as it’s the only way to make it bare able  we are treated like robots and never recognized for our hard work  it’s a non profit company so you could see where these problems stem from  terrible place these kind of new age sweat shops need to be destroyed which were

Worked for Plexxus for 4 years.
High turn over because,
1. You have to work every holiday of the year as they supply hospitals which are always open.
2. The shift hours are terrible. Day shift is 10am or 11am till 7 or 8pm. Night shift is 7 or 8pm to 3 or 4am.
What this means is you will never see your family or have a proper life.
3. Management is corrupt and there is next to no room to advance. If you advance you are overworked and underpaid. In 4 years I made less than 1000 dollars every two weeks unless I worked overtime.
4. Company does not have money so they penny pinch on everything including your raises and even discontinued giving a Christmas bonus which was a 50 dollar grocery card.
5. Every quarter of the year you are able to receive a bonus but more often than not it was reduced because it was based on either team productivity or trucks arriving at hospitals on time which means you work very hard individually and others who dont cost you that bonus. The bonus only goes to plexxus employees but because of high turn over you work side by side with alot of temps who dont get that bonus at all so why should they work hard or care?

Any other job and you will have every holiday off. Stop and think about that for a second and you will realize that any job is better because I had no life for 4 years and worked like a dog for peanuts on Thanksgiving, Christmas eve and even civic holidays which means all you have in a year to look forward to is the weekend and your vacation.

I was going from temp job to temp job and this is the one that was better and gave me a reason to stay and get hired on.  They worked with me when I needed improvements, they praised me when I went above and beyond, I was able to develop a serious attitude towards the job over time and got hired on.  I was given optional overtime and grew into it and am currently taking home about 500$ extra a paycheque because of it.  Management is almost too nice, they keep things easy but some people get away with too much.  Co-workers are diverse and the right person to help you is anybody and everybody.  The demand and pace of the workday is not bad, they do not work you to death and the team is there if you are having a slow day, this makes it easy to keep my negativity to myself and contribute to a positive productive atmosphere.  Its obvious who smokes pot at work and management is too busy to deal with things of that nature or the behaviours that go with it.  This warehouse is easy, pays enough to get by, and the non-profit government sector aspect must be why they are a little better.  Go Plexxus!

A typical day at Plexxus was never like the last.  I was an efficient person checking on productivity by assigning tasks and taking on tasks designated for associates when we were in a crunch.  I was demanding yet fair as a lead hand/supervisor.  I operated equipment and handled situations with a dignity and respect to our customers.  Yes i was frustrated with lack of products,lack of carts,lack of teaching tools to improve myself but i still saw the goal of making sure our clients which were 12 major hospitals in the GTA which were responsible for surgeries and healthcare depending on us and our products getting there effectively and efficiently.  I respected the business and what it does even if i am on the outside looking in now.  I was frustrated with the lack of help by higher managemnet and the need to learn more of my role.  I put in 65 hour work weeks to see things through  yet i accepted it.  I was determined to full fill my obligations

This company should be paying higher salaries to employees. They don't tell you the total job when hired. You have to stay until trucks are loaded. There is friction between shifts and there are certain woman there that are scary and mean.

Bosses do their best. Nothing wrong with them.

Work load on the body was beginning to cause health problems and I am young. High expectations. I also have a problem with the way temp workers are treated. They will tell them they are hired but keep them working through temp agency for months after the 3 month period. They hand out bonus' and such to "full timers" not to agency staff. I find this disgusting considering they are full time. The Government has to step up against companies abusing Agency staff and put strict legislation on companies that lie to them about hiring.

People quit constantly at Plexxus. I walked out.

From the moment you walk in, you discover that management did not embrace nor adapted to modern technology in the workplace.  Sure they give you a lap top and a phone to work remotely, but they insist that you come in from 9 to 5 to work out of a cubicle, even though all of the work/ project is done out of that lap top with no need to interact with anyone except in pre-scheduled meetings.  
- They do not follow industry standard Project Management methodologies on projects and good luck getting the right data you need for spend. 
- Location is very inconvenient, and some employees have to travel almost two hours to get to work. 
- old Furniture and lighting
- very high employee turnover
- no room for advancement, staff not motivated enough, and most see it as just a stepping stone Job.

This is a very busy place indeed. Plexxus' distribution centre provides supplies to major GTA hospital. At times we had to work extra hours to ensure supplies are delivered to the hospitals on time, so that patients at the hospitals receive required care. Working longer hours is your choice. Great team environment. We were always there for each other, helping new guys and girls to learn faster. The hardest part of the job is when someone doesn't pull their weight. The most enjoyable part of the job is to know that your work contributes to improving healthcare in Ontario. The management is very supportive, they are interested in your success. Fair compensation and good benefits.

- Typical day is spend processing request into SAP, managing incidents and communicating with internal clients.
- Learned to be more result oriented, manage and train small teams as well as expanded my SAP knowledge
- Most coworkers are pleasant and friendly but everyone is busy working hard so socialization with others outside your team/department is very low
- Hardest part of the job is dealing with unrealistic deadlines with little help or support
- The most enjoyable past of the job is having that sense of accomplishment and satisfaction when you complete a task or project ahead of schedule as well as when the client recognizes the hard work you done.

I have been at Plexxus for a few months now and have really enjoyed my time here so far. The HR and Communications team have made my transition very smooth and easy. Everyone in the office is friendly, welcoming and open to sharing their knowledge. 

It is great to work in the health care field and be a part of such important work! I did not know anything about shared services or health care when I started but the team has made sure that I fully understand how the organization works and the work they do.

Managers and Supervisors were approachable and fair and supportive to employees. Employee issues were addressed and dealt with immediately. Benefits and supports for all workers are above average for this job and industry. Opportunities for advancement very low. Lack of Standard Operating procedures training, Low on the job training
