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

Professional, productive and result oriented.

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

Was this review helpful?Yes No 1Report

Very negative environment.
