Blount Canada

Blount Canada Employee Review

Once was a good company

Robotics Technician (Former Employee) - Guelph, ON - 15 September 2021

Not sure if this will help, but here it goes. Blount Canada now under a different name. Was at one point a great company to work for. They were easy going, the job was steady, and the folks that worked there were super friendly. I miss working there with the old crew that had been there for years. They were all happy to have been working there. Snacks at break times, birthday cake day, and go home early paid on Fridays. Oh and a nice on site cafeteria with great food. 10/10 However at some point, they had cleaned house, and got rid of the old crew, laid off and or fired. It sounded like a nightmare. I was let go early and told I wasn't needed anymore. :(So not sure what it's like now, but if it is anything like a few years back. Then it will be a good place to work. Hope this helps.

Pros

Great work, good solid benefits, small perks, and wonderful wage.

Stable Work

Employee (Former Employee) - Guelph, ON - 3 January 2019

The work is stable and the shifts are not rotating. Starting wage is decent. Coffee, tea and snacks are free at break times. Paid shutdowns so you don't have to fight for vacation at Christmas.

Pros

free snacks at break times

some supervisors have big chip on shoulder

Paint line operator (Former Employee) - Guelph, ON - 24 November 2018

not very truthful when they hired me saying that overtime was not mandatory but when I turned down the OT they let me go. found supervisors lacking in compassion.
