Horrible workplace. Barely even got 30 min lunches. Was forced to work more hours than we were even displayed as open (working 630am-6pm) hours are 8-5, boss was very disrespectful , Treated employees unfairly, boss @ hypepark location, london ontario, “i don't care about your personal feelings while your working here” in a meeting with everyone from the shop. Would highly recommend avoiding krown hyde park STRONGLY

Pros

30 min lunch

Cons

Dirty work environment, 30 min lunch IF you get it

Zero advancement

Spray Technician (Former Employee) - Barrie, ON - 7 November 2022

Was told for about a year I was getting a raise and never received it before leaving. Management just wanted to sell the place and it showed it came up constantly and I never knew when it could happen

Great seasonal job.

Spray Technician (Former Employee) - Orillia, ON - 4 November 2021

Great seasonal job but, sometimes can be very busy and other times can be very slow depends on the day. Great people to work with, fun banter and understanding work place. You will be working with oil biased rust control products.

Pros

Free lunches, great staff.

Seasonal job, low pay

Horrible Job

Labourer (Former Employee) - Catharine street - 23 September 2020

Whoever said lunch is an hour is wrong it’s 45min and you get no breaks. The boss is always sitting at his desk eating and the place is run by a bunch of kids and people recently hired as he can’t manage to keep people. The turnover rate is huge. The jobs pay is embarrassing. $850 every 2 weeks

Pros

Easy work

Cons

Bad pay bad job

Beware

Shop Labourer (Former Employee) - Kingston, ON - 2 September 2020

The ownership locally are wonderful people, but they turn a blind eye to what is actually going on inside the shop. They are extremely fair people, compassionate but when it comes to the shop environment and the business that's when it ends. It's all business and dollars. They have zero process for complaints to HR, they have no HR, no training on mandatory courses any worker in Ontario must do, they also allow staff members to harass others and harbour a work environment that is toxic and not conducive to a safe workplace

Pros

Good pay

Cons

Long hours in fall and winter, no HR process, no training, allow illegal activities in the workplace. Over work the staff.

Decent place to work at party could be a little higher

Rust proofer (Former Employee) - Vaughan, ON - 8 May 2020

I've worked for two different krown rust control shops. The first was really great because of the shop owner. Pretty decent guy. Hours were normal. Typical shop politics once in a while but overall decent working experience

Pros

Free undercoating, plus free lunch on Saturdays

Cons

Lack of proper ventilation mask, plus you get really slippery

Unhealthy

Spray Technician (Former Employee) - Lindsay, ON - 12 December 2019

The owner is great, he deals with alot of stress in a day due to the nonense that occurs in the spray shop on a daily basis yet does his best to keep everyone happy. The supervisor is a child with more tatrums then a 4 year old. The drama an tension everyday make's it very unhealthy to consider as a career. Would not recommend to anyone who can think for themselves.

Just don't.

Sprayer (Former Employee) - Lindsay, ON - 3 November 2019

Promise things to you and tell you things that never happen make you work more hours then supposed to or threaten you with suspension or being fired. Just money hungry people who don't care if you were replaced the next day. Not a life time job, maybe good for a highschool kid or someone trying to get there first job. No benefits never make over 16 an hour if u are lucky.
