 Exceive amount of grinding and welding repairs involved from automated sub-arc. Fairly high employee turn-over due to less than confidence than inspiring work procedures and bad air quality.
Dayshift is 7am-4pm mon -Thurs, Fri 7am-3:30pm afternoons are Mon to Thurs 4pm -3am
Regular work week is 42hrs and usually there's mandatory overtime of 4hrs required. CWB metal core 1G testing. 
  After probation the company subsidizes 1/2 the cost towards a 3M Adflo 9100FX PAPR. Every Wednesday a hot lunch is available to purchase. 
Benefits, and RRSP plan are fairly standard and there are two paid personal days available.
Cell phone signals are very weak out there in Springwater. Winter commute can be challenging.


The interview was challenging but also gave me a very good feel for the company and what they valued and what their goals were. 
I continue to find the workplace environment to be positive, supportive, engaging and progressive. There is a strong focus on work-life balance.
This company walks the talk of their visions and values.
I have received an excellent orientation, have already experienced their investment in my training and education. I look forward to further growing with this company and look forward to a challenging, interesting and fulfilling future. 

The supervisors are a little two faced which makes it hard to know if you can trust them or not. There's nothing to work towards. Once you are a top rate (which is like $25-26/ hour) there are no positions to continue advancing to. It's okay if you're okay with make $26/ hour for the rest of your life with no education. There's no more learning, you just get complacent and bored. It's not a career it's a day job you want to quit after 5 years because you realize you have to work 20+ years just to get to the day shift and get your 5 weeks of vacation. It was good for a time but there are better things than working in a plant. Guys on night shift have a bond but supervisors and the day shift seem to be a back stabbing crew.

The company claims to be a big family but what they mean is management and front office are like family. Not the shop floor workers. Tons of gossip and drama and the 2 shifts seem to constantly be battling for no reason. Money is OK, there's mandatory overtime, lunches on Wednesday you can buy, building fills with smoke and your not allowed to open any doors to air it out. The work is super easy for the pay and quite repetitive. If they want you gone, they'll make it happen quite quickly and not pay severance. Management is useless since everything comes from front office. Management just does what they're told. Most of the shop floor coworkers are amazing. Not the best place to work. But money is good for easy work. 

A very competitive company which is always looking for improvement through every level of employee. I was able to learn various aspects of welding beside all genres of experienced clientele Management was always an on-hand help to increase quality and production.The hardest part of the job was to learn and keep up to the company's high standards while keeping a composure in which I knew was achievable.The most enjoyable aspect of the position was the experience of learning my capabilities to push through pressure with my latest "Know-how" and be extremely proud of the final product!

Since their interview process is quite extensive, you can be sure that everyone who is hired within your department is someone that you will be able to work with. Management is very open with what is going on with the business. Everyone is very understanding of real life situations, which makes it easy to talk with managers about problems you may be having. Most employees are incredibly kind and easy to work with. The amount of fundraising that goes on within the company for the surrounding community is truly inspiring.

From your first day, you feel like part of a family at Steelway. Everyone is friendly, kind and willing to help you get past the awkward first few months of training, as they want nothing more than for you to succeed. Having fun and enjoying where you spend 40 hours a week is just as important to Steelway management as exceeding expectations, and they do everything they can to help ensure success of both aspects. They have done a great job in creating a culture where all employees have the opportunity to thrive, learn and grow each and every day.

The most stressful part of job was unwillingness to listen to the people on the floor and disregard for their experiences

Divided. Inconsistent from the management and the floor

Steelway is a great place to work.  The company has BBQ's for employees and really goes above and beyond for its employees.  The working environment is amazing, everyone is willing to help you.  The company is very employee focused with personalized gift boxes for new employees and personalized birthday cards.  I really enjoy going to work each day for the new challenges of working in manufacturing.
