Promotions are only given to those who make friends with management regardless of skill level (some people that are deserving make the cut).

Most management is long standing (little change happens because of this).

Free lunches once a month.

Benefits comparable or better than union positions. 

Pay for production workers is based on years of service and position held. 

Support departments ie maintenance, technical are “performance based”. Wouldn’t agree with this they just make up a number that fits the budget well depending on how they like you. Can never advocate for your wage anyone that has just gets told “hopefully your next raise reflects your expectations better.” I’ve seen some incredibly gifted people get shafted on wages for lacklustre reasons. 

Can use your own radio at work. 

Great place if you want a stepping stone to further your career and gain experience. 

You will never retire off the rrsp package they provide unless your expectations are low. Like I said stepping stone.

I’ve found it to be a good place to work because of my co workers. Not all have been great but I’ve met some incredible people here and shared a lot of laughs. 

Management is horrible! People aren't showing up for shifts leaving early and quit frequently at lunchtime. Hr doesn't care about you if you speak up about wrong doing they fire you on the phone with no reasonable explanation. Machines malfunction and you can find Management. Management has favorites. Management is disrespectful and talks to employees like trash yelling and screaming. People are afraid to say anything in fear of being fired. They have multiple locker rooms with showers but don't care about people's personal hygiene.  It's a horrible feeling working next to someone in a small space that physically makes you I'll by their smell. And if you complain then your terminated for making them feel uncomfortable. I understand having that issue once or twice but everyday is unacceptable. I worked there less than a year and in that time 45 to 50 people walked out or got fired there is no job security and seniority doesn't matter. And you basically train yourself.  I could say more but I think you get the picture 

I was a 10+ year forging operator.  The only reason I stayed that long was the pay and benefits.  This would be a good company to work for if you had absolutely no outside life or secondary income sources.  The only outside activity the company encourages are things that will make you more valuable to the company.  The inability to pursue my musical passion for several years  (off shifts and a pretty steady 7-day schedule) made a permanent shift in my attitude towards the job.  I also have a home based side business that caters to musicians.  This was nearly shut down due to my not having time to pursue it.. Absolutely terrible work/life balance.  The tipping point was the department manager who forgets there is a respectful workplace policy.  Just had enough verbal abuse and general disrespect..

always watch your back because management will do anything to get rid of you if they don't like you, they wont even give you a warning before letting you go. most fellow associates are nice and willing to help but don't let your guard down. machines are poorly maintained and most of the time you have to try to fix it instead of maintenance. EXPECT TO GET DIRTY! graphite does not like to come out of clothes so bring some to change into before you leave the locker room. chances are you will have to talk slow, loud, and calm to get anything done because of noise and hazardous work environment. the pay is fair but not worth the B S they put you through. I have worked 7 days a week, 10 and 12 hour days since I started. only days off are major holidays and the days you take off.

Definitely a good place to go if you want to gain experience in CNC machining. If you show up everyday and perform well they will send you all the way up the ladder pretty quickly. From the bottom of management on up to department manager, theyll even promote you to maintenance or engineering and send you to school for it. You can make some pretty good money  but  Job security passed being an associate was never good. Seemed they always shift their management teams around.

As for the typical day at work, it's definitely fun and challenging. You'll learn accurate use of precision measuring devices and a pretty in depth hands on version

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Your typical day would be inspection parts, adjusting machine to have parts in spec, and swapping over to run new parts

I am currently employed with MAP-MI as a lathe operator. Though the work can be difficult and sometimes frustrating, it is overall a wonderful place to work. The hours are great, the management is friendly and helpful and the benefits are very, very nice. It isn't a place for people who don't want to get there hands dirty (or arms or face) or for those who don't want to put forth an effort to be the best. It is, however, a place filled with rewards for your efforts and many incentives to keep the workers happy and productive. 
       In short, the work is hard, but if you overcome it, you will find that the ladder you climb is limitless with possibilities.

At this job I learned various things; how to operate different machines and how to supervise others. My co-workers we're very nice and easy to get along with. I enjoyed being around them and working with them. They we're family away from home. The hardest part was being a new person trying to supervise others especially when I was younger than some of the employees. Afterwards after I learned the everything and we had a good understanding I was ok. I enjoyed being over people and learning different thing around the plant I was a happy person. I enjoy being challenge and learning new things.

There's a lack of communication and the recent ongoing changes have mid level management stabbing people in the back. If you aren't a friend or relative of HR, you won't matter. Just when you think the morale can't get lower, management figures out a way to lower it. Typical factory, lots of managers and no leaders. They all have their favorites who show up late to work, take long breaks, and don't 5s and that's ok. Other people get let go for the same thing. Managers would lie to associates about the rules because they didn't agree with what HR posted. The offshifts don't get any information.

If you want to work for a company that does not value their employees, works them until they are ground to a nub, that doesn't value their personal time outside of the company, that changes things to benefit themselves no matter the repercussions it has on the people doing the "real" work, that fills their HR department with a bunch of rude incompetent idiots and management with egotistical self centered jerks that don't know the first thing about running the department's that they're put in charge of, then this is the place for you!
