THE CTD GROUP

Most of the equipment is falling apart and non functioning.
Evening supervisor just waddles around for the entire shift.
No matter how hard you work or how good your attendance record is one slight mistake will cost you your job.
Wages are not good and guys work there for years and don’t get raises.
Stay away at all costs if you want to work in the manufacturing industry go somewhere else like Ancast industries, or Monarch Industries for a better work culture and better wages.
They also have a policy in the employee contract which states that upon termination you can’t go  work for any other manufacturing company for 12 months without there “permission”. 
They can’t seriously expect that anyone would follow that “policy”.
Lastly for a company that has a tough time finding good qualified staff they sure are quick to terminate people over the smallest mistakes.
Not to mention that when I started I accidentally parked my car in the wrong spot and as a result I had grease smeared on my door, shoved behind my door handle and my window sustained damage.




This company has a bad habit and has a terrible company culture.
If the companyt is busy , they can hire a lot of people at the  same time, but when the company is slowing down, they will get lots of people laid off at a time.

The management is very messy. Leadhand will never work and just play with phone. You have to carry and load parts from day to day. You will never learn more than what you expect, becuase you will just focus on production. It is a labour job.

They will provide very little training on your job. When operating CNC, you don't even learn set up. Because you will never set up by yourself. Some guys will sho off you that they can set up some machine.

I am a college graduate with A. I did not learn anything in this company.

Awful job, disorganized work environment, no one is doing what they should as long as they should and entire teams are forced to constantly wait. Not bad if you're lazy, I suppose.

Place is cluttered like no one's business and the organization gets worse the longer you're there. Entire hallways and walking areas are blocked and it's not safe to have to shimmy around there because you can trip or hit something.

The whole environment feels bad and I've not seen one positive person while I was there, nor do they actually work like they should. You got rookies doing work the more experienced people should be doing but won't because they're lazy.

Do. Not. Bother. Please.

Was hired to be lead hand in the West St. Paul plant.
During the first and second interview I told them that I had no experience with vertical drilling or milling.
I was hired, I was then told to set up a machine and given no assistance in doing it. Company interviews DID NOT listen to candidates response to questions regarding their work experience.
Wasted a lot of time on both sides.
Shop is ok, in regards to their set up.
Training is Nonexistent.
If you require any assistance, the people on the floor are most welcome my, but nothing from mid or upper management.


Screamingly loud and chaotic. Everything covered in filth. Generous supply of very grumpy co-workers.
A foreman who wouldn't let me work light duties when I bruised my right rib-cage.
Human bloodhounds who can detect alcohol consumption up to 24 hours after a couple beers after work (with the usual behind-your-back squealing to the foreman). Uh....not my worst work environment (sadly) but nowhere near the best. But that is just the WHEEL LINE. If one wants to work for CTD I strongly recommend anything but the filth, noise and grumpy co-workers of the WHEEL LINE.

This is the absolute worst company to work for if you are a cnc machinist! The lead hand doesn't even know how to speak English! I got into trouble with management because the lead hand couldn't explain to me how a simple drill press to work! They will hire you for the rock bottom price and when your 3 month Probationary period is done and you go ask for your raise it doesn't exist and it was never even offered at the interview process. CNC OPERATORS BEWARE!!! NOT A COMPANY THAT UPHOLDS INTEGRITY! 

What is the best part of working at the company?
There is no best part of working here.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Deafening, filthy, toxic air (literally), completely unorganized, extremely hazardous work environment. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
If you were your supervisors buddy you had the easiest of work. If not got worked like a dog.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Repetitive. Same thing day after day.

This is the worst place I have worked. Run if you can. Very low wage with no raises. Some employees have gone 10yrs with NO increase. There's no supervision especially on the night shift where most people take naps. The training is great forthe first week learning measurements and tools but after that there is nothing. Simply heres a machine now operate it.
 Daily targets are a joke, plant manager turns a blind eye to everything and doesn't seem to be able to manage a dead fly let alone a company. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people were will to work together as a team 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Getting all orders completed and filling order’s complete 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very noisy and very fast paced  for the employees 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Walk around make sure all employees were working

Workers and management weren't following covid restrictions even though they have signs everywhere. HR is not qualfied for the job and openly admitted to nepotism as an excuse for another workers hostile actions and did not have a neutral stance on issues. I recommend only working here to get into the industry but as everyone says this is not a place to stay.
