If management changes this would be a great place

Accounting (Former Employee) – Stoney Creek, ON – 28 March 2018

Management is killing the culture at Harris Rebar. It's a great company with job security and advancement (if you take the time to hang around). Management is slowly killing the staff and culture by keeping senior managers who only look after themselves and treat the staff like garbage. If management would change and find people who look after the employees, this would be the best place to work.

Pros

Location, benefits, work-life balance

Cons

Management

Ups and Downs - good work when you can get it

Rodman (Former Employee) – Delta, BC – 18 April 2018

Rodbusting at its best on the west coast; unfortunately work is sporadic when the rest of the city is booming.

Managers and supervisors play their favorites and do little unless you are willing to pay tribute to them.

Pros

union wages

Cons

managers

Typical Large American Corporation

Plant Manager (Former Employee) – Stoney Creek, ON – 29 November 2017

It use to be a great place to work. Once Nucor took it over now its all about numbers. Even the employees are just a numbers. They want production results without investing in machinery. It is such a shame. After 30 yrs of dedicated service I was tossed aside for no reason. Middle management is not a safe place to be.

Pros

Good Pay

Cons

Upper management

Hard work

Ironworker Apprentice (Former Employee) – Calgary, AB – 26 June 2017

Great company with great benefits. This is a very hard job. A day in agony is a day in the life of an Ironworker. You should have a hard skin to work hear. Not for the faint of heart.

Detailer

Detailer (Former Employee) – Dartmouth, NS – 15 May 2017

Manager needed to be appeased. Enough said. The fellow employees were great and the work was fine. No training was provided however. The radio HAD to be on all day and we weren't allowed to wear our own headphones because the manager wanted to be able to yell to all of us at once without waiting.

great place to work

Sheer Operator (Former Employee) – Leduc, AB – 13 January 2017

was there for I think 6 years and made it to one of the highest positions we could get to before moving up to foreman. so that being said in order to get that position the foreman would have had to quit or get fired and that wasn't going to happen anytime soon.
