Constantly Changing Work Environment

Pros

The compensation and benefits are very good compared to similar job functions at other companies. The company encourages employees to think out of the box and to offer new ideas/solutions.

Cons

Lafarge seems to always be restructuring markets, product lines, job functions, etc. It is not unusual for the scope of an employee's job to change often; therefore, you may have been hired to do one job, but you could find yourself in a completely different function/role within a year whether you want it or not. Job stability is unpredictable due to the constant restructuring. In many of the salaried roles, work/life balance is truly non-existent. I also know several employees who never get the chance to take all their vacation days because of the unreasonable work expectations.

Pros

There was some good hard working people there that made my experience worthy. When I started I actually had people that were qualified for the job and taught me how to do my job right.

Cons

Problem is the favoritism is AWFUL! Too much change and worked really hard on training the drivers how to behave properly while on our grounds. Safety!!! Was my top goal. It didn't matter! The few mistakes that were made didn't even compare to what went on at other scales.I remember when I started - they thought about their job; not who they can blame every mistake on. Even when it's not your fault. I was even wrote up for someone else's mistake. Management way is when --- the truth don't work in their favor confuse the issue. There was too much nonsense in the corp. office to actually feel safe in your position. I can't say it enough - TOO MUCH FAVORITISM!
