Maple Donuts

I applied to maple donuts as an electrician of 9 years. They hired me severely underpaid as a “first shift maintenance mechanic” with a promise of evaluation after 60 days including pay adjustment. After 90 days working 3rd shift (the only available position i was told after giving my two weeks with my previous employer) without an evaluation and having to supplement my income (causing several 5-10 minute tardies) . I was told im ineligible for a pay raise. However i continued to perform the duties of a full time electrician without compensation. I then applied for an open position they were hiring for which they called “electrician mechanic” which included a higher pay rate and was first shift. I explained to the hiring manager that this was a perfect fit however they filled the position externally and told me if i do more electrical work i could be eligible for compensation. Note, i have in four months time run countless amounts of conduit, installed new lighting systems, pulled wire, replaced old wiring, learned to reprogram and repair drive boards, plc’s, sensors etc etc. If you have any respect for yourself or your time I HIGHLY suggest you overlook Maple Donuts’ empty promises. Also dont work here if you have a fear of roaches. 

This place is horrible to work for they don't give good training.  They treat you like slaves.  There is a zero tolerance for mistakes.  That means you must be a robot to work there.  If you want a raise forget about it they don't do it and the way they do it is if your late they dock you and you have to wait 90 days after the day your late to be eligible.  If you clock in too early you get docked for wanting to work.  My suggestion is to stay away form this place.  If you work in shipping the conditions are horrible.  The shelving is mangled and half the racks look like they will fall down.  More than half the racks aren't bolted to the ground.  Your likeliness of getting hurt is very high especially with all the ice on the ground.  Management and office workers are all unpleasant and think they are better than everyone.  Everyone that works there is always moody and unpleasant.  They only ones that are nice there is the front receptionist she is the only nice person there.  Most people are two faced there as well.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Free donuts, nothing else. Literally nothing.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Little to no training. Manager constantly confused and disappointed why 2 new hires can't produce the numbers he wants. Especially without that training. Several health and food safety concerns.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very politically attached company. So if you in some shape or form are against Republicans, best steer clear. I didn't make any opinions known, but looking different was enough to get looks and some unkind words from customers and employees alike.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Worked full-time and I couldn’t even use my allotted 30 min lunch break without falling behind. Not that it mattered if I did or not. The manager was always disappointed when he came in with the morning shift.

What is the best part of working at the company?
If you want a lot of overtime, than it can be for you.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Upper management and floor supervisors and how they treat their workers. If they would take more time training their new hires rather than yell at them, then it possibly could be a better environment to work in.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Hostile working environment. Most of management talks down to you, no organization, always worrying about making a mistake, if you do watch out, you’ll be gone! 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Depending on your position, but very unorganized, bounce around from line to line with no real training or communication. Supervisors assume you are not following directions, when the people that are training you have very little experience.

Pros: 
The company is independently owned and managed, a rarity in the times of mergers & acquisitions among food manufacturers. 

Most of the management team/salaried team is supportive and very few office politics or other types of nonsense go on. 

The owner invests in equipment so a lot of top of the line manufacturing machinery and automation. 

The workforce is diverse and generally has positive relations with leadership.


Cons:
 Communication is absolutely awful and you pretty much have to ask lots of questions to get an answer. Priorities can change in an instant and woe to you if you did not get the change communicated to you. 

Individuals clearly unsuited for leadership are kept in leadership roles because it's easier to deal with managers screaming at employees out on the shop floor instead of replace them with more professional candidates. 





Well for the time I worked enjoyed the learning experience and meeting of new people. If the management don't get under control they gonna loose good workers. Its great that they hire work release so those can handle legal issues...but its bad they over look how some of the people they appointed as supervisors are allowed to speak to employees. I would never recommend this place to someone long as they have those two wanna be supervisors or shall I say production supervisors in charge of that corporation...I am just so stunded at the decisions they allow.

Working here was a nightmare, when I first started as a dock worker at maple donut east york I thought I was going to be lifting 20 pounds or less and just walk a short distance but it was nothing like that. Everything indeed says about maple donut is not true at all its a hole different game once you're in their. Make sure you read all the papers the manager will have you sign during your 2nd interview. I've got payed less than what I was supposed to get paid so make sure you guys read their paper work! Because these guys are selfish and ignorant people I've also seen employees pick up donuts from the warehouse ground and putting it back on the tray instead of the trash.

Not a great place to work, management is intrusive and demanding in ways that were not productive for anyone. They'll get on you for any little mistake or being a few mins late. The rules often contradict each other and it is impossible to please the management. They expect us to finish work in unreasonable times and make rules that keep us from doing so. Not terrible but can be stressful. Bad attitudes from many employees. Can be very difficult to balance school and social life activities because they are not understanding when life interferes with work.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The pay was very good. Overtime is all ways.  available   Some of the supervisors are very good

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Dealing with a lot of people who don’t care and will stab anyone in the back to make themselves look good 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It can be both very supportive and very toxic depending on who you deal with 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very fast paced and hectic.  Job can be stressful having to fix other people’s mistakes constantly

The day starts out with meeting you supervisor and they will give you your jobs you are to complete during you shift. Not much was learned during my experience there. Depending on who is in charge of you really decides on how you day will go. There is a lot of team work involved, but with some jobs you will be luck to talk to anyone. The hardest part of the job was having jobs that need two people to get done, but was working on my own. The most enjoyable part was being able to take a brake and get payed for it.
