Calea Employee Review

Like a stressful high school.

Order Entry Clerk (Former Employee) - Hamilton, ON - 10 April 2022

Extremely high turnover in all departments. I saw so many great employees in and out. It was terrible. Just too many tasks to be done for all of the positions, not enough employees, or enough time. There is very clear favouritism between staff and management. Those certain staff (older, but not all of them) slack off all the time. Spent more time talking about the football pool, that weekend’s bbq plans for them all, plus general chatting. While all the temps and newer employees did all the work. It’s also like a stressful high school. A lot of gossip and even name calling to the point of tears. It was so stressful trying to get as much done as you can with the heavy work load, drama, knowing there is so much more to be done, but not enough time, or yet trained people to do it. Plus new employees coming in over and over trying to learn. In all departments. Just ridiculous.

Pros

Free food.

Cons

Long hours.

Order Entry Clerk (Current Employee) - Hamilton, ON - 28 April 2022

I have been at Calea for 2 years and can easily see myself staying here for many more years to come. Staff is friendly and welcoming and the Social Committee makes sure we have a good time outside of working hours as well. The most enjoyable part of the job is the people I work with. You must be good at multitasking to do this job otherwise it can be hard to keep up - but generally the job is easy and repetitive but interesting enough to not get bored. There is lots of vacation time available and the scheduling structure leaves a lot of room for flexibility. There is room to grow in this company and management is supportive and encouraging and open to new ideas. They will do everything they can to help you succeed in your career.

Warehouse Associate (Former Employee) - Hamilton, ON - 18 August 2023

I wouldn’t recommend . Unknowledgeable manager. Stressfull workplace. Stressfull stressfull stressfull. No room for growth. Poor management. Specially the warehouse manager she has no clue and no knowledge about the company nor the procedure for everyday operations. Calea should get rid of the manager who are not capable. Very disappointing company.

Supervisor (Current Employee) - Hamilton, ON - 19 August 2022

Long term employee who has seen consistent advancement. Management is collaborative and open to new ideas. Staff are welcoming, fun, energetic, and keep the morale high. The work can be repetitive, but rewarding knowing the positive impact the organization can make on so many patients and their families.
