What is the best part of working at the company?
If you are single, perhaps the best part is salary, again depends on ypur appetite. It use to be a great site (2013-2016) around 25-30 people  hardworking, innovative thinking out of the box and smart then a new management start hiring "agile/devops/scram people" and the Samsung Canada site in BC "went down". Now it is a military organization with a micromanagement.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Agile for everyone (even if you are not developer), micromanagement and total control.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Work environment in Canada BC is great. On the other hand they don 't accept in any form work from home permanently. Only hybrid type of work (3 days in the office and two days from home). The culture is based on South Korean work style (google it).

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Depends on your position. in my case a third of the day are meetings, another third is writing reports what you have done yesterday, what you are going to do today and what are you going to do tomorrow. The rest of the day are your main responsibilities. Oh yes the most interesting part is every six month there is a personal performance review where you have to write an essay "why the company should keep you".

* great brand to work for, great salary/employee store
* lack of culture - HR is US based/little local support or authority; KOR business mgrs oversee everything; no trust from KOR to CAD, within sales, and from sales to partner divisions (customer service, supply chain, marketing, etc)
* sales first organization - no life balance, no fwd thinking beyond a month or two, everything is last minute to avoid information leaks/similar
* big dependence on vendor/agency base vs. internal headcount
* processes are demanding/slow with proprietary systems that ladder up to lack of trust and authority in local business
* CEOs are never local, and change every 18mths
* COO and other roles eliminated over last couple years, and through COVID continued 'do more with less' is expected


RECOMMEND: take the discount and salary, great for your resume - but don't expect more than 1.5-2yrs there and still be sane/happy.

The first day job orientations was given, introduction to the work site was shown to me. as the day  progress metal plates are been cut and  beveled to accurate sizes. using SMAW to weld on various welding positions like 1F- 3G.

accurate positioning surface treatments and good weld preparation gives you a better weld.  it is very important to prevent weld defects.

management ensure all personal protective equipment(PPE) are provided and  worn by the workers. specification are  maintained.

all workers must be punctual, observe necessary break and abide by the rules of the company policy.

Typical day at work would start of by logging into the computer and setting up everything for the day. Make sure display models are on and fully charged, make sure counters are clean and desk are fully equipped with the correct gear. I learned a lot about customer service, and more specifically on how to handle working in a time pressure environment. Also, I learned on how to  handle certain situations more delicately, as well as handling certain situations differently. The hardest part of the job is sometimes telling the customers that you can not do certain things because they do not meet the criteria, and the most enjoyable part would be to try and help a customer out where they need and deserve it.

Working in a demanding, challenging environment, everyday is different which what makes this job enjoyable. Making a difference and improving customer satisfaction in itself is very rewarding. Learning to cope with media pressure as well as demanding customers is a real learning curve. The hardest part was where you were constantly re-training staff to try and eliminate further mistakes. Management is very supportive, however you do have to use initiative and work alone as well as in a Team.

work hours are reasonable as i worked 8 hours Monday to Friday and overtime during weekends which was not a must. learned how to communicate effectively with clients both telephonic and  email. my co workers were understanding and are supportive, willing to work in teams to tackle the workload. having to deal with customers that needed authorization from management was the hardest part as clients didn't want to wait long without feedback.making a good relationship with clients and service providers that were fixing customer products
