Fantastic people, great work environment, great pay and benefits
Machinist/Welder (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 23 June 2020
I don't have a bad word to say. I worked off-site at the Lorimar machine shop and it is the best place I've ever worked, by far. Great people, great work, great hours, great company. The hardest part of the job is knowing the value of some of the things we worked on. Typically you are given all the resources required to do the job correctly the first time. Nobody is pushing for speed, just quality albeit still in a timely fashion.
Pros
Great hours, clean workspace, great people.

Very poor management
machinist (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 14 March 2019
Poor management, Poor union practices both result in a very unsecure and unsafe environment, the only ones here that seem to get along with management are the ones with the ability to do whatever management tells them even when if it is unsafe or not within the specified limits. If the work order is wrong it is still the employees fault for building it wrong and if it is questioned, you are billed as a trouble maker. Company and union committee work so closely here that most times it is hard to distinguish the two apart from each other, that normally would be a good thing but not in this case. I was thrown under the bus by both company and union and would highly recommend finding a job elsewhere. Ultimately the management should be replaced by more knowledgeable and understanding people. Almost reminded me of how the now defunct Future Shop used to be run!
Pros
All but one employees are great
Cons
watch out for that one employee (Hint, cnc department)
