I  was hired to work between 2 processes within the company; one(Newflyer Assembly) of which I never did and one(automated punch press) I did not get enough time to do. I was supposed to work half a day at one process and half at another. I came from machine operating and expected to be in that environment  which given the proper time I would've  figured out the processes. But they had an old raciat senile worker there who didn't  want to properly train a new worker. He would show you something one time and then never say anything else as if to expect you to know the whole process after showing it to you one time.  I was fine with that on the machine operating side as that was where I came from and the process was nothing unlike I hadn't seen but the trainer continually lied as to what I was doing.  As for the Assembly it takes a lot longer to become aquainted to the process as they have you do sealing, which is very difficult, and many people walk off due to this. They expect you to be up to speed in a matter of weeks but that's not realistic. It takes time to get the techniques down but management doesn't give you the time. They want quantity over quality.

What is the best part of working at the company?
It was fairly decent with normal gripes of a shop. However things started changing and for the far worse. The management of this company is atrocious and they may be nice to your face but they are very unprofessional and underhanded. It would probably be best not to work in the team portions of the shop, because if they "don't know" who is messing parts up you'll get a written notice group punishment as a whole to "make it fair". I would stay away from this company on the grounds that they don't care about your well-being. If you are sick or anything they hold it against you and will fire you for being sick (especially if you're sick when you put a notice in). 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Being written up as a group in a cell because "they don't know who messes parts up". Wondering if you'll have work in your area. Dealing with an unprofessional work environment. Dealing with poor ventilation in a galvanized production area. Not having opportunities to move up or learn new areas.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Everything for management, nothing for the workers.

Loading tubes into robot fixtures all twelve hour shift, and then load them into wooden pallets and onto the shipping trailer. I learned and got certified in using a crane. How to weld better and different types of bad welds. Working and adapting with different kind of people and machines. I felt great with management no matter what i needed they helped me out. Anytime they presented a new opportunity to learn something i was happy and thankful. Co-workers was probably the best ones i have ever had. They all taught me more than i could imagine. The hard part was smelling all the fumes everyday. The enjoyable part was i got paid every week.

Decent pay, terrible benefits, and upper management showed they dont really care about their work force or keeping doors open. Hours initially were cut because of covid-19, but we were expected to show up the same number of days against our collective disliking and disagreement with upper management. Upper management wouldn't listen to the concerns of the collective. Then half the workforce was furloughed with the false hope of being back in two weeks. Three months later and a second layoff occurred in the past four months. Very disappointed.

Their machines are old, outdated, does not work properly and expect quality work to come from it. Their rates are ridiculous and at times make employees feel like they're push button machine. Their training sucks, they would throw you at a job and expect you to figure out yourself. They have two grumpy senile person one on days and one on nights who just hates life and managements are afraid of them.

This place is truly dis functional. It may have been there for 80 years but it is not there because of current leadership. They worry more about nursing rooms than they do about forming steel. Management are a joke, lying, conniving and not following through on their promises or concerned about people they let go. Management is so top heavy that they are about to tip over. So many good people have left, and all that remains is trash. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Friendly and respectful work environment. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Having enough rack storage for the amount of pending orders. Congested aisles.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Friendly and respectful employees.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Busy and challenging work day.

The management at Dalsin has gone way down in the last 5 years. It's all about production and nothing about quality. They are on probation with customers because of all the rejects. The people in management have no clue what it takes to do the job. I heard a general manager say, "Any monkey can run these machines." Enough said.

I really enjoy working at Dalsin Industries.  I learned how to use and move robotic welders.  The management was fair for the high volume of work.  Co-workers were all highly motivated and all got along.  The hardest part of the job was stopping for the day.  We had such great momentum that once the ball was rolling I did not want to stop.

safety does not apply during work and no proper ppe for work

learned mig, tig and arc welding, spot welding, grinding, deburring, and how to handle mechanical tools

management never around for meetings

co workers come and go due to saftey problems

hardest part of the job is when one of your temp workers quits in the middle of their work production
