Management needs a lot of work
Technical Sales Representative (Former Employee) – Montréal, QC – 8 June 2018
Overall this is a great company with some very innovative ideas and they strive to try to be the leaders in the market. Management in B.C. has dropped the ball by becoming complacent about the market and have gone from being the "only manufacturer" in the market that everyone trusted to "just another manufacturer of pipe" allowing the competition to creep in and take over under their nose.
Cons
micro management
Great team
Service à la clientèle (Former Employee) – St Laurent, QC – 16 September 2018
It was a great team I used to work with. My previous co-workers were very supportive, friendly, team-orientated. Salaray was great and so were the benefits. Small intern-team but very efficient. My then-supervisor was the sweetest and funniest lady. Always there to help you and was would take time to listen to you if you ever needed to talk. I loved working there.
Worked production and packaging
Packing Operator (Former Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 27 August 2018
Great Company, provided on the job training in different areas. The environment was clean and well organized, making your job much easier. The company has a strong focus on production output, and in order to achieve their goals, they looked after their employees well.
Pros
Good organization
Cons
shift work change overs (although to be expected with this type of job)
Clarkson warehouse
Warehouse Worker (Former Employee) – Mississauga, ON – 19 July 2018
I hated working at the Clarkson warehouse. I would advise you to stay away from this place unless you like being treated like an animal. Very dis-functional and questionable actions by the management.
Professional, productive and result oriented.

Machine Operator (Current Employee) – London, ON – 25 March 2018

Long shifts and work schedule is hard to have a life outside work

Pros
great work enviorment

Good pay, but unorganized management and very repetitive work
Standard Fabrication - Machine Operator (Former Employee) – Mississauga, ON – 16 October 2017
My supervisors and QC department had no experience in machining, thus many of the times communication gets confusing. The work environment was terrible, on hot days my station would get extremely hot with only a small desk fan to help, and on cold days I cant wear long sleeves as it is a danger when working on machines with fast rotating parts. The work itself is very repetitive but is simple, but with 44 hrs a week the repetitiveness out ways the simple.
Pros
simple tasks
Cons
long hours, repetitive
Very negative environment.
Set up technician (Former Employee) – London, ON – 29 September 2017
Brutal work environment. management are the worst I have ever seen. Pay is okay, good benefits, but nobody knows what they are doing in this place and they let the union run the plant.
a very serious workplace.
General Labourer (Former Employee) – Ontario – 12 June 2017
requires attention to detail. the fast pace in completing tasks.
a lot of automated machines at work, which offers a great feel of experience for people who are engaged in the automation field.
well planned work schedule with considered break times and a clean changing are plus a well-equipped lunchroom for workers.

Apprentice Millwright (Former Employee) – Oakville, ON – 23 March 2017
There was never a typical day it was always something new and challenging that would have to be solved. The workplace was very safety conscious and the employees were a pleasure to work with.
Not a bad place to work once you get the hang of it
Mould Operator (Current Employee) – London, ON – 17 March 2017

Pros
Wages are fair

Long hours
