Kuntz Electroplating Inc Pay & benefits reviews

If you aren`t afraid of hard work and getting dirty , this is a job for you . Fun group of co-workers for the most part . Work can be very repetitious and can cause strain and pain on the body . Decent wages and benefits although not as good now as they had been in the past . Non-unionized which works well for the most part although can lead to unfair work practices at times where seniority etc are not always recognized as they should be .

Pros

good benefits and decent pay

Cons

some mandatory overtime, Non-unionized with sometimes suspect work and labor practices . MOL involved from time to time.

Fantastic Company

Racker/Packer (Current Employee) - Kitchener, ON - 29 October 2021

KEI is an awesome company to work for and work with. They look out for their employees and take great care of them. Renumeration should be based on required skillset to perform position as even a general position has differing duties and responsibilities. Going that extra "Green Mile" does payoff at KEI. Hard workers are, of course, preferred as no one likes to work with a "Slacker". Kuntz rewards those who perform over and above expectations, if you want to be successful in your position. You get what you give.

Pros

Weekly pay, Full Benefits, Free basic uniforms (pants and shirt x 5) annually, Free prescription safety glasses biannually, PPE provided. Internal available job postings. Paid breaks.

Cons

Not the place of employment for those with respiratory difficulties and allergies to hard work.

Kuntz Electroplating treats its employees well

Management (Former Employee) - Kitchener, ON - 1 November 2018

Good place to work. Employs very good people. Lots of opportunities and the benefits are great. Sometimes the decision to promote from within is questionable. Favoritism and unprofessionalism is pretty obvious.

Pros

Great pay and benefits. Good people. Family owned and operated.

Cons

Favoritism and unprofessional conduct of certain supervision/management

30 year employee

Polisher (Current Employee) - Polishing #17 - 31 August 2017

I've been privileged to work here for over 30 years! Great company, owned by a great family; with fantastic co-workers I wouldn't want to work anywhere else.

Pros

Company social events eg. free pizza days, bbq's, Christmas parties, shopping trips, picnics, etc.

Cons

Miss our benefits of yesteryear! (1990's) E.g. When benefits were 100% paid, vacation time (6 weeks plus vacaton), monthly incentives, yearly wage increases.
