What a joke! Whatever you do don’t work here! People smoking pot and sleeping all night, showing up drunk, management who totally ignores the bad employees because they can’t get people to work here! They turn a blind eye and don’t do their jobs. The place is an oven in the summer and freezes in the winter. The place is falling apart and the management are so disassociated they don’t make any improvements. You will work to your detriment with no thanks. No training and no organization. They’ve been investigated by the labour board for several infractions and recently messed up all their employees pay so that everyone had to pay back thousands to revenue Canada! Whatever you do stay away from this horrible place! Full of nepotism and lowlife people!

I liked my job until I got what I thought was a better position, only to find out I had been put on a shift that was had a very toxic work environment in wich gave it a very high turnover rate. I was told I had the option to return to my old position if I did not enjoy my new position but after talking to hr they had told me that I could not change my position. I worked there for another three months before I had enough and looked for another job. The hr and management there don't care about there employees they only care about production so if you are comfortable doing what you're doing I suggest sticking with it because the same thing could happen to you.

I have been working at Novolex for about just a year, a typical day is a 12 hours shift from 7:30am till 7:30 pm and then night shifts as well from 7:30pm till 7:30am.

I have learned about how blown plastic film is made.

the management, is alright, they mostly stick to the offices and only come out on the floor when having their morning meeting, other then that they don't seem to be involved or interested in employes lives.

hardest part of the job is having to switch between nights and days every 2 weeks.

Poor worker moral, almost everyone  looks like there life has been sucked out of them.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Cant wait for your shift to end.  Long 12 hour shifts , employees  complaining about mgmt., and other workers.

I started on night shift 7pm to 7am. Your life is basically out the window for this job. Then was switched to day shift. 7am to 7pm. I lost my night shift premium for the same work with a hotter environment. Be prepared to bring a change of clothes in the summer months so you can spend your breaks changing. This place is a sweat shop! The overtime is fixed just right so you only get 2 hours every other week. No christmas bonuses. No union.

Well sometimes a person does not know what he thinks he or she does looks can be deciding but bottom line with the right crew or people this job would go smooth as. Long as everyone did there job and more team effort makes a huge difference. But if I had the opportunity to get to know my workers in time they would be the best shift of all for production dress code team work that would be the biggest achivements I had ever done

Maintenance dept employees we a spoiled bunch of entitled babies and bullies  to others in dept. Plant manager was great but his production dept was horrible and had no grasp on what their real purpose was. Deflecting responsibility is the style and no accountability for their lack of training and over loading their support depts. 

Basically the place is a old boys club and nothing will change. 

The company can't even plan ahead for the week, let alone have a plan for years on how to make the company profitable. Constantly cutting costs just so their profits look better, and always pointing their fingers at the workers for not doing their jobs with little to no communication to solve anything. They lay off people, promising to bring them back only to lay more people off a few months later.

Concentrating no quality of production ,coordinating machines and supply needed material, to run machines. Quality inspections.Lifting, walking, bending.
Learned to be more understaning with other people.Respect management.
Hardest part of that job is the over night 12 hour shifts. What gives me very limited time with my family.
Most enjoyable part of that job is wages
