TG MINTO CORPORATION

A typical day at work starts with a pre-shift meeting as to what was going on quality wise and production (either behind or on track, etc.)
    Then the employees are sent to various work stations. Generally work 2 hours and rotate to another station, 
Assembling plastic car components for vehicles.
    I learned various new jobs as well as how particular car manufacturers are about their parts. Perfection is their motto (Toyota)
    Management tends to be difficult to deal with for the most part. They encourage you to tell them what could be done to make things better or easier and then ignore your suggestions. Very rarely do they actually use our suggestions. 
     The workplace culture is a little complicated. Their is no tolerance for workplace harassment or racism or anything of that nature which is a very good thing.  However, sometimes the lines get blurred and the wrong people get blamed. Unfortunately their is a large turnover of employees at this company. Not even sure why. They strive for excellence and mistakes are not optional. 
     The hardest part of the job is trying to learn new things with little training or follow-up and then when mistakes are made the employees are given warnings and pay freezes which infuriates them because after all, we are only human.  Sometimes we are made to feel like robots expected to put out outrageous numbers in set time limits.  A lot of mandatory overtime is required which interacts with people's social and family life in a bad way. 
     I think the most enjoyable part of the job is that it isn't boring. Also, management does supply fruit every Tuesday, has nice holiday dinners for us, has burger days and ice cream days in the hot weather.  They are trying to make employees happy but unfortunately these extra perks don't make people content.

It was a pretty good place to work when I started there. There was structure, rules, and policies that the company was strict about following. Supervisors were to enforce them and to issue discipline when they weren't being followed. This does not happen anymore. A company which was once built on mainly full time trained FTM's now has so much new temporary staff daily (and a lot of them do not speak good english), that it's difficult to ever have a successful day. Many days we are short manpower so we are set up for failure before the day even gets started. The communication is horrendous which causes a lot of issues with production and this leads to downtime which then leads to Saturday (and sometimes Sunday) OT. A lot of finger pointing goes on when things go wrong, no-one wants to own up to their mistakes. Office staff changes so often that it is a challenge to try and figure out who you are looking for when you need support, as some supervisors are not very helpful. Raises are not given often (always an excuse) and when they are given, they are given to random departments/shifts/people...very unfair. Other than the benefits, there is not really any other reason to stay.


just a man that enjoy to work, get along with fellow worker willing to learn other jobs, help others. do things the proper way that I was taught, follow all safety procedures taught to me from the company, safety team, WSIB the hardest part of the job, would be having to leave on Friday and wait to Monday to return. Enjoyable would be socially with others during lunch time & breaks, discuss ways to improve. Respect management, supervisor, other workers, because were all a team on the field. If I leaned something that someone does known report and ask for permission to show other employees. Arrive with a smile and leave with to.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Terrible, they don't have good management with skills required 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful, rules only apply to one not all

Every day you have a quota to achieve. I learned how to balance work life and home life. Not enough team members for the work that needs to be done. The management could be better. They do not come put on the floor to oversee anything. The assembly part of the job is easy it is getting you quota for the day is sometimes hard with the lack of people to support. The most enjoyable part of the job are the bbqs before shutdown and long weekends. Also cake days for your  birthday month.

I really enjoyed my job - I had support from my management team and my coworkers. They helped to build me up and give me opportunity for growth and change. Their benefits are great, dental has good coverage and offers Massage and Chiro as well. 

There is always places an organization can improve, but in the time I was there I saw incredible changes. The company used to be small and in a small town - it is growing and quickly which can come with challenges. 

Overall, I would recommend working here!

I love my coworkers but management is a joke, all you are is a number to them, and they do not care about you at all.
People get fired for ridiculous reasons, like not having their shirt tucked in, but not for harassment. They refuse to listen to their employees concerns and opinions, and safety is a joke. There is no hr staff, they all seem to become miserable within a few months and/or quit relatively quickly. They work you like a dog, with no employee appreciation.

The typcal day these days at my job are never typical..Lately we do our numbers and half of afternoons.Already stretched to our limts as these jobs are hard on joints and overall body as you have the same jobs everyday.Best part of the work day is if its a slow day..Very few and far apart.The job and atmosphere were great in the beginning but gets worse everyday...

TG Minto is great workplace with very friendly management and a safety focused atmosphere. In the eyes of management safety take priority over production functions and is tracked to ensure compliance with local and governmental legislative requirements.

Management is dumb… they try to reduce people and get more workload on good workers only while the lazy ones or friend of management they don’t have to do anything they do no get training for hard parts…only 3 or 4 good workers carry the whole department …overall not good experience…lots of memories here tho and good co workers as well…but at the cost of declining mental health….
