Learned many things about projection welding and spot welding. There is always a chance to improve your skills and preference is given to internal employees than external applicants during hiring for new positions.

100% company paid benefits

Cons

Too many audits

It was the worst place I have ever worked.

Production Team Member (Contract) (Former Employee) - Milton, ON - 21 September 2023

What is the best part of working at the company?The compensation and the location What is the most stressful part about working at the company?The heat and the hours including shifts and weather condition which alter working conditionsWhat is the work environment and culture like at the company?Not the best - unfair practices and no alternate solutions for people being bullied What is a typical day like for you at the company?Swipe in go to the lunchroom until 5 minutes prio to shift then walk to the work area, line for start up meeting. Work 8 or double shifts and take breaks and lunch at designated times. Unfortunately you work with the same person and the on the same line most of the time. Once you’re there for awhile they will allow you to work other lines but with little to no training- sucks.

underpaid and overworked

Production Operator (Former Employee) - Penetanguishene, ON - 18 September 2023

i was very stunned to find out i'd only be getting $17 an hour for the position i was offered. i stayed for one month. it's ridiculous that it's even legal to be paid that little and have to work 10+ hour days multiple times a week. i was not able to pay my bills effectively with this job despite full-time hours. i am now $1000+ in credit card debt.

Pros

good breaks

Cons

very long hours, extremely little pay

Good

Production Associate (Former Employee) - Belleville, ON - 6 September 2023

Good company to work for. A little bit of favoritism on the floor. The timing is good as well. Pay should be a little higher for this kind of job. Onsite parking is good

Tugger driver (Former Employee) - Lakeshore, ON - 2 September 2023

Not a horrible place to work the people are amazing and the benefits are alright but the pay just isn't enough and having no retirement package makes it a death sentence not to mention they can cancel a months production hours before the next shift

Pros

Good people

Cons

Unpredictable industry and under paid

Poor management and treatment of employees

Production Operator (Former Employee) - Brampton, ON - 31 August 2023

Management takes advantage of lower level employees' willingness to earn. There is a remarkable disconnect between office management and the employees on the floor in terms of respect and care.

Pros

Not much

Cons

A whole lot

Hard work, Fair pay

Production Operator (Former Employee) - Concord, ON - 27 August 2023

Works are fairly compensated, training can be a bit easier on people with zero experience (but it was understandable since the production line was always pushed to the max with frequent overtime)

Meant for beatdown people who don't have any other options

Employee (Current Employee) - Ontario - 27 July 2023

Due to everyone being related and all the conflicts of interest. Its very likely that I could die here any day due to the lack of support/structure and high-school culture.

Pros

You get paid

Cons

Having 4 different bosses that will use you as a "fall-guy" without any hesitation.
