A temp job with minimal training
Machine Operator/Assembler (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 16 May 2018
Minimal training which should be done by the supervisors is neglected. They seem to be displeased when you ask basic questions as if it’s a burden. They expect you to do things a certain way but will not train you to do things to their standards. The only time any supervisor will speak to you is when a mistake is made. Positive reinforcement does not exist. They treat you as expendable.
Pros
Overtime, benefits 50%
Cons
Long hours, dealing with difficult coworker and management, working 6 days a week. This is not permeant
hostile work environment
General Labourer (Former Employee) – Ancaster, ON – 5 June 2018
i worked at stackpole for one month and was let go soon after. The people that trained me did what they were supposed to but the coworkers were very rude and not helpful to me when i was a new employee working in a factory for my first time.
Pros
constant work
Cons
long hours rude coworkers hostile environment
productive company
General Labourer (Former Employee) – Stratford, ON – 16 May 2018
decent people and atmosphere to work in although its very hot and very dirty.... fast paced and very busy work place.... if you don't mind heat and being cover in carbon dust then its a great place to work
Work Life at Stackpole
CNC Setter/Operator (Current Employee) – Stratford, ON – 2 May 2018
Nothing good or bad to say about Stackpole. Only problem as of right now is that they've been mandating for the pass year and it doesn't seem like its going to stop. Also has trouble hiring for some reason.
What you learned
Quality Inspector (Former Employee) – Ancaster, ON – 27 April 2018
I learned a lot of things while working at Stackpole. First most important thing was to manage your time properly. We need to check the required number of parts in my shifts. As the number varies everyday, we need to maintain a speed to achieve my target. Second thing was to help others. As the work is done in groups, everybody get his or her own targets. If I had completed my target, I can work slow at the last hours but I like to finish my work fast and help others to complete their targets.

Slave (Current Employee) – Ancaster, ON – 18 August 2017
Place , Pay and work is the industry norm.. nothing great or bad about that ... But 1 Factory Focus Leader is completely in over his head.. has no clue how to do his job .. the shop floor suffers .. supervisors are power maniacs or yes men... no happy mediums... there were good leaders but they either quit or were fired.. steer clear of this place at all costs...
Pros

Cons
extremely bias and slightly stupid management
