Good place to learn technical details of manufacturing operation. But management is very disorganized. Requires significant improvement.
The company is trying to implement CMMS, SAP systems in place. Till it gets settled the production runs in a manual way from inventory, planning perspective. Few work hazards (PU, Fiberglass dust etc.) and policies are in place. but management has no supervision at all whether things are being followed. Workers dont follow the safety regulation and management has a very flexible way of dealing with that. Safety should be the top most priority at places like that but its only in pen and paper. Only time management gets serious when Ministry of Labour/ H&S committee visits the place. Poor management style and no employee benefits. Long working hours without any aid from company. No performance appraisal system to recognize the efficient employees. VP operation seems to be the only person with technical knowledge. Working with him is learning and rewarding as you know what you are doing and why. Operations manager is a nice guy but tied up with million things. Don't plan well for the job. No systems in place at all. The notice period is very unusual (2 Months). But a great work place to gather hands on experience.

- the whole interview process from beginning to end took 4 months + full assignment for mid level position. 
- took them 1 month to get back to me for an initial HR screening. 
- the role was changed mid way through
- previous marketing people were gone 
-no marketing department for Cdn division. 
- low salary offer presented. Preferred range was discussed twice with HR / CEO.
-office location changed too from what was discussed with CEO.
-after working for them for 1.5 days, they notified me that their business priorities had changed and I wasn't the right fit. 
-role was re-posted again with a higher title and some of the exact same responsibilities from the role for which I had interviewed for. 
- they never interviewed me with direct team lead or the team itself in Cdn office. 
- overall, not a good recruitment/on-boarding experience. 



Pliteq is very laid back when it comes to work load the work is very easy and you can learn quickly if you’re willing. However the management is non existent, the company is still new and in a constant state of change and cluelessness. For the most part the supervisors are great but the overall management of the company is terrible, if you’re looking to make a quick buck this is the place for you but don’t try to start a career here because you will just be promised things that will never happen and end up being over qualified and underpaid. Also if they hire you as a forklift operator you will most likely be a gerneral labourer they use that incentive to get more people in the door but there are hardly any full time forklift operators.

Working at Pliteq was a rewarding and productive experience. Management was friendly, accommodating and the work environment was fun yet productive. My days varied wildly depending on the tasks that needed completed, which not only meant I was able to learn from almost everyone in the company. Everyone I worked with at Pliteq was not only enthusiastic about their work, but was also enthusiastic about seeing this growing company expand and grow. I cannot say enough good about my time working at Pliteq.

CEO/owner is never in the factory and has no clue how to run a company. Some Supervisor sit in office all day and never give a hand on the floor and talk down to employees. Wrong people get promoted. Only good thing is you have straight shifts and you don’t have to rotate between days, afternoons and nights. They fire employees for no reason just to save a few dollars before the 3 months dead line. Turn over is very high. I would not recommend working here.

I feel like Pliteq treated me well and I learned a lot during my time. However, I know that some of my other teammates were not treated as well or compensated fairly. Additionally, when different departments were understaffed, the process engineering team was expected to fill in even if it was outside of their scope/department. Everyone on the team was already so busy, so having additional, unrelated tasks did not help.

The suoervisor didnt respect people whatever worker they achieved. They don't care about what youve done and they think people like a machine that never tried. It is not a good place to work until you got retire you always feel stress because of the supervisor. I recommend people not to apply in this company.

My department was well run by decent person with a head on their shoulders. The engineers I worked with were good and knew their stuff. HR management love sharing private information. Safety is an issue. Forklift drivers are deadly there. Ultimate reason I left.

Great internship; I learned a lot relating to my engineering degree. A little boring at times but definitely worked with some great people. Really enjoyed being part of the R&D team! It was nice to be faced with real engineering challenges that didn't come with a set solution.

Care about staff, flexible . Managers always on the floor to support staffs. Most enjoyable part about this job it's very hands on and you are able to think while working keeps your mind active.
