Plasti-Fab Ltd

I started out working for them because my type of printing is a dead art from and I needed to work. I had a friend whom I knew through my dog breeding , who got me interested in this company. 

I started out working grave yard shift , learning to operate Moulding machines. Soon advanced to night shift supervisor. I trained new employees in the different moulding Machines , on safety procedures and quality. Then I was given the opportunity to take a ISO internal Auditor Course and pasts and eventually took a up graded version as the policy's changed over the years. I moved into day shift, with more Quality control duties and ISO auditor duties, plus was given the chance to work in the Lab when needed and to cover for those on holidays. That was exciting. I learned how to use Lab equipment to do quality control tests of the produces that was being produced. I also got to learn office Administration duties to help with over load when needed. 

it was exciting doing multi jobs. 

I had made some friends in the company and still communicate with a few of them through Facebook since I moved away.

A typical day during the peak construction season is exciting, busy and fun.  During the Winter months,you will be bored off your rocker.

The company culture is pretty good.  There are a few divisions throughout North America, yes, this is still a small company as each location employees a small number of staff.  You don't feel like a number. You feel appreciated.

The pay scale is a bit on the low side but, the work is super easy.

The hardest part of the job is trying to figure out what it is you're supposed to do. You will self train a lot but, there are people you can call to ask questions and they typically are pretty good at finding you the right answers.

was a productive place to work where everyone got along , but due to downturn in economy a lot of people were laid off. I supervised the afternoon shift and my responsibility's included trouble shooting machines as well as ensuring that there was enough bead ready for all formers.Co-workers were very friendly and helpful. The hardest part of the job was when I would have to lay an employee off or terminate an employee.The most enjoyable part of the job was when you you had a deadline to meet and working together with a group of employee's you managed to complete the task on time.

I loved my job and loved going to work every day . I loved the people that worked with me under my direction . 
I learned that there was always room for improvement .
 VP of Manufacturing was very supportive and appreciative. 
The culture on the plant floor was good 
The hardest part of the job was meeting customer requirements with minimum information and short lead times.   
The most enjoyable part of the job was the work force in the plant and the admin staff.

Simple and easy work for easy pay. Good working hours. Work days to off days ratio is 50:50 (collectively 7 days work and 7 days off within the 2 week pay period.) Good people to work with.

Management is poor in regards to not giving sufficient information to the workers to do the job properly. Not a whole lot of opportunities for overtime

typical day -  set up and produce product
what i learned - how EPS products are formed
management  - new and inexperienced
workplace culture  - horrible
hardest part of the job  - continuously trying to maintain positive attitude while being degraded 
most enjoyable -  clocking out after shift
 I  had such a positive attitude and strong work ethic when i started . Now i can hardly wait to move on. 
I would only recommend working here for a short period. Under 24 months.


Nothing too special. Work was alright, but pay could have been better. They had a bad habit of having new employees lift stuff way too heavy with little to no trading on how to lift it properly. 
The manager didn't like to give breaks and sometimes wouldn't let crew go for break until he thought enough work had been done. 
Coworkers were pretty good. If you just kept your hea d down and worked you were fine.

Co workers were okay to work with, weekend work was rare. Everything was fine until the plant manager at that time left the company and the logistic coordinator took over and that's when everything changed, people became afraid for their jobs so they'd try and get in at the block molding plant, if you weren't liked you were let go. Favoritism was everywhere ....   

As of late, I would advise not to accept a position at the ajax location. If you are an aspiring power engineer or just a student trying to make ends meet, you will most definitely have to undergo an massive lay off. Management is underqualified and financially drowning themselves.  

If you do end up catch yourself working here, I would at least keep contact with your previous employer and be cautious.

This is a good place to work because the people are friendly and the job is not too strenuous.  I learned many skills such as time management and working on different machines.  The hours are pretty normal and there is lots of overtime available.
