B&D Manufacturing

The people you'll meet at B&D are stellar. Kind and fun to work with. 

The work is another story. Each and every position is truly overloaded and underpaid. 

You have to wait 6 months to get any type of benefits, 1 year before you're allowed to take a vacation day and 2 years before you are eligible for the company pension plan. Not, that it matters because you'll likely be let go LONG before you get to that point.

Turn over is high, they let people go at random with no warning what-so-ever and they over promise and definitely under deliver. Upper management is sorely lacking any type of connection with what's going on within their walls and are very much micro-managers who don't trust their department managers to do their jobs. 

All in all, the work morale is the lowest I've ever seen at any job I've ever had and while the people are nice, they very much have an attitude of "I'm just here to make a paycheck for as long as I can".

Steer clear of this employer.

 I always liked coming to work, people there really try their best to make you feel like you're part of the team.Even when what you do is such a small part in the larger scale of things. Pay could have been a little bit better. But the location for me was perfect. And so were the hours benefits? Package was also good. I mean, how many companies still do that, right?
The higher ups management ceos, you know, they always seem to take an interest in the ongoings of the employee's, which made you feel more part of a team.I really wish it would have worked out there.However, I just wasn't the right person for the job.If you love high pace, high stress go go environments this would be the perfect job.Also, it's really cool to see all the different stuff.They make there

This company isn't any different than every other one in Sudbury.  They hire when they have the work and then lay you off when the work is gone.

They also brag about the $32/h machinist wages but you will never see it.

They also do not lay off in the order you were hired.

They promise overtime but that doesn't happen either.

It will take you six months to get benefits and two years to qualify for the company pension. If you get it, you will still possibly get a permanent layoff.

Be cautious and keep an open mind!

Stay away from the field it's run by an absolute tool. Talks behind everyone's back. Talks like he knows everything and If you mention that you are injured well he is too. Forget coming back to a harmonious environment after surgery. Might as well pack your bags. Least welcoming group I've ever worked for. Hostile from day one. But hey we got a barbecue every month ( that was deducted off our cheque). The Supervisor has done all and knows all and has a very condescending tone

Good small company locally owned to work for. Room to grow and expand within the company. Field Service offers lots of opportunity both local and out of town. Good safety morale and training among employees. Employee barbecues are a good break and supported by corporate wellness committee. Completed an apprenticeship here with good support and mentoring.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Good environment and great people. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Sometimes it get repetitive with doing the same product all the time.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Friendly and fairly relaxed. Nobody chases you down or stands over your back.

Great place to work, a lot of learning opportunities.  Friendly co coworkers, and good variety of work.  The field side is very flexible for hours, lots of work out of town.
Hard to move up internally.  There is too much separation between employees and management.  

If your a tradesmen run far away from b& d
They will promise you everything then take it away. You have to pay for your uniforms, benefits are terrible and pension sucks once you get it after 2 years. Workers hate each other so very stressful atmosphere.  

There was a clear divider between management and employees which was a constant struggle to build on trust.  Employees worked very hard and management provided monthly bbq's which was an engaging event.

Good exposure for tradesman looking to accelerate their career and potential.  Good opportunity for trades people to gain experience and apply their trades both internally and in the field.
