Typical day at work is keeping in mind what the mantra of the business is and to have fun. I have learned to work in the production team with many ideas and challenges but always keeping in mind the main goal- meeting out customer demand.
I manage a group of people who desire to make it happen on a daily basis facing each challenge as it comes- this in mind delivers customer demand and satisfaction.
The most enjoyable part of the job is to hear our customer say when they come for a tour "your plant is clean and well organized - thank you for the tour, that said each time makes our team and I so proud in what we do. Concast it right!

Typical day was frozen chains, and feet. 30mins to tie down or you hear about it, whole load of pipe or LOTS random pieces... still 30min. takes a bit to learn the chains again.. stay in shape because your climbing the frozen loads!. 6 axl trailers and 8 Ton Cranes 1 straight and 1 boom walks across bed of 53' trailer to reach end.. stuck all the time in yards and TIGHT spaces.. always someone YELLING in your face from stress of there day.. typical construction.. upper management has a disconnect from transportation. and some drivers LOVE to screw with other drivers...

What is the best part of working at the company?
The long term Management team… now, unfortunately they have all been replaced.   

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The secrete eyes and outside watch dogs 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Once relaxed and positive… now uptight and under appreciated . 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
No longer partake in their activities.

There's a lot of finger pointing and no job security at all. You will be used and dumped at their own conveinience without any consideration to you & your family.

Supervisors, QC staff, and other mgt positions are more like a revolving door. Since I started and to when I was let go I have witnessed about 38 people fired or quit their job due to a very poor to management culture.

Not a bad place by any means, only problem is that you are in a Union and can't move up. Seniority has everything to do with this place and NOT skill. If you don't mind night-shift..... this is a great place. I basically had to do all the grunt work and some days it was hard to justify pay for pain. Best part was going home since I was not enjoying the night shift due to lack of seeing family.

A typical day at work would be me going in, being told what needs to be either cleaned up, or moved to different locations and doing so. I learned how to pick things up quick, the hardest part of the job would be the heavy lifting but with proper instruction and execution it becomes easier. Management is nice. The most enjoyable part of the job I’d have to say is the friendly relationship you build with your fellow workmates

A typical day at work would be interpreting engineering drawings and performing technical inspections on precast products before and after they are cast.

Followed by concrete sampling tests and final yard inspections of products made in order to verify if the precast products are ready in terms of quality to be shipped to the job site where they are put into service.

I work directly with our customer base on both new poduct production as well as day to day concerns. I thoroughly enjoy being involved with all aspects of production/manufacturing. My days are busy which allows me to apply two of my strengths; prioritizing and organizing.

- Decent wages with very good benefits
- Room to advance within the company
- Lots of negativity within the plant environment 
- Very hard to balance a work and personal life, work definitely comes first typically 6-7 days a week
- Job security seems non-existent for salary employees
- Lots of Micromanagement

It took a lot to get into the groove in these two locations and physically fit to do it!! Throwing chains 14’ up and over loads all day long… then some Union A hole who wants your job can cause a gref and your out! HR can’t do anything… NOT a reliable job! Not worth the effort but I did really like the job before I seen where I that…
