mismanaged and unsafe
Forklift driver for one year of employment (Former Employee) – Beaverton, ON – 3 July 2018
There is no communication and the workforce goes unappreciated. The higher ups corroborate with each other and favoritism is rampant. Machines need to be fixed and supervisors need to be replaced.
Pros
Pays okay
Cons
Stress and malcontontention
Dirty environment
Press Operator / Die Separator (Former Employee) – Beaverton, ON – 22 May 2018
Its a factory. It is filthy and smells horrible. I left due to a health reaction to the chemicals. They are not an understanding company when it comes to things like a death in the family.. You get written up if you are at all late even if you are a dependable worker on a really bad weather day!
Pros
decent money
Cons
environment
A place to work
Lead Hand (Former Employee) – Bradford, ON – 12 February 2018
I learned a lot as a lead hand. People that you work with are nice and helping. Overtime would be expected since its always last minute. Management would always ask for more than you're expected to do.
Pros
Pay
Cons
Overtime
Poor Management
General Labourer (Current Employee) – Tottenham, ON – 5 February 2018
This is the kind of place that make a lot of money but the workers never see any of it. The wages have gone up $5 in 30 years to $17. We have a management and H.R. that ignore important issues like, Bullying, verbal altercations, Harassment and even assault (this was later felt with because the labor board was informed).
Pros
Once you pass your 6 month probation, you have a unionized job.
Cons
Inept management, low worker moral.
great working place
General Laborer (Former Employee) – Bradford, ON – 8 January 2018

Great place to work with great job security
Line Operator (Former Employee) – Tottenham, ON – 13 December 2017

Great company
Floor associate (Current Employee) – Tottenham, ON – 3 December 2017
Working at Flex-N-Gate has been noting but a great experience! From the fast pace on the floor; to all of the friendly and out going employees, there isn't much not to like. I wouldn't mind an extra 5 minutes on break, but I won't start complaining.. We don't get paid to stand around, right?
Pros
Friendly staff, fast pace
Cons
Parking lot not paved
fun and interactive place with lots of outside activities
General Labourer (Former Employee) – Tottenham, ON – 13 November 2017
its nice and warm where everyone knows each other. the hardest part of the job is the jacks and rodding. sometimes it is hard to adjust to anothr type of jack you are building but once you get the hag of it youll be fine.
Pros
an hour lunch in total
Cons
very noisy
Ok work but bad management
Line Worker (Former Employee) – Bradford, ON – 13 October 2017
I learned a lot about assembly work when I was there as you are not stuck in one station the whole time; I was moved around a bit to different stations. I think honestly the hardest part on the assembly side is moving the blue bins of parts but even that isn't that bad. My most enjoyable part of that job was going home. Management is not good at all.
Fast pace-just in time Automotive
Manufacturing Supervisor (Current Employee) – tottenham – 20 July 2017

not a nice place to work
General Labourer/Forklift Operator (Former Employee) – Beaverton, ON – 11 May 2017
this company has a lot of favourtism and if they do not like you they harras you and make you feel be littled, they say they are family oriented but are not even close.
Diversify workplace but very poor management style.. people are being treated as slave
Line Assembly (Former Employee) – Windsor, ON – 10 April 2017
A good workplace to stay as long as you get you seniority because the union don't protect the TPT at all although they're cutting union dues out of your paycheque. Just a waste of money. Also, the Production Manager yells at his workers like a slave.
Pros
Overtime pay
Cons
Bad Management
Good place to work
Parts cars assembled (Former Employee) – Bradford West Gwillimbury, ON – 6 February 2017

Steady Shift with friendly people
Fulltime Assembly Worker (Current Employee) – Windsor, ON – 9 January 2017
Working for Flex N Gate allows you to understand alot about the car industry by balancing production, customers demand and meeting the acceptable quality standards set by the factory and the customer.
It maybe difficult to adapt but given the time, anyone who is determined can easily achieve the company's objective which is Top quality and production.

Not the greatest.

Hired full time, hated the management. Rude and lack lustre. Training is spotty and lacking. They just care about the bottom line and retreat their employees like cattle.

Cons
Bad management, lacks advancement opportunity
