TS Manufacturing

 worked at TS Manufacturing as a Welder Fitter for the past 2 years. Got along with the team, worked overtime regularly, was engaged in company events, no issues with absenteeism or lateness, no past discrepancies and was committed to the role and the company. I was recently asked to do an offsite 3 week assignment that involved travelling to the States and representing the company, I received positive feedback from the Job Lead, So it was very shocking that 3 weeks after returning back to the shop that I was terminated without cause, with no explanation, no warning, no nothing, the only thing I can think of is that I spoke to higher ups about an issue of slander from another employee - one would hope that would not be a fireable offense, but here we are.
Overall, I would have liked to continue to work for TS, however, if this is the way the new manager will be approaching employee concerns then maybe it’s a blessing in disguise. I had invested myself into this company, but the fact that there was no corrective actions or suggestion or feedback tells me that there is little respect for their employees.  
 If you prioritize a work environment that values open communication and respect to you may want to reconsider your application.

Not terrible place to work but can use improvement, very disorganized, no work flow and tendency to last minute changes. 
Great to start in the trades, they support OYAP and Coop students.
Benefits could be better as well as pay, they like to say "good job, thanks for making us all this money" and give out food for the efforts then people wonder why there is low moral. 
More than once been witness to Harrassment/bullying in the workplace, if dealt with its either verbal or even siding with the harasser with no consequence especially if they are in a responsible role
I enjoyed learning there, expanding my skill set and more or less enjoyed the work I did, not so much having to fix other people's work that have been there longer than I have and can't be bothered to do it properly but yet are still there. 
Also doesn't matter how hard you work there is no job security. 



In the many years of working, I have yet come across a family that has shown great pride and dedication for the success of its company and its staff as the management and owners of TS have. The owners and managers of TS are some of the hardest working people I have ever met. It isn’t uncommon to see them still working at 5pm on a Friday evening, working in airports between flights or coming in the office for a quick meeting on their holidays. While hard work and dedication is important to the success of their company, they also know how to take care of their staff: hosting company events, gatherings and social activities that bring the whole team together. This kind of dedication resonates well with the staff at TS and is appreciated.  

Working at TS can be a challenging and rewarding experience. Roles in the shop allow training and apprenticeship opportunities especially from the long term, experienced co-workers. It can be challenging for some people that don't fit the culture, but for those that show up reliably and try to work then the people are welcoming and helpful. In the shop if you show up and don't contribute then people are not as friendly. 

At this job i found the people you worked for and with were great. The cons of this job were the health and safety aspect as well as extremely low wage for the kind of work you had to do.  The air in the building was so smoky "Only a 4 foot in diameter" exhaust fan in a building that is at least 50 000 square feet and at least 6 to 8 welder's running at a time, not to mention a plasma table as well as torches burning which cause a cloud of smoke that was hard to breathe in. A little to unsafe for me.would like to live a long and healthy life and didn't see that happening there.

Over all a good place to start into the trades, staying would be a different story. From disorganization and the hurry up and wait game, issues giving out raises to a point that a lot of people leave and with how much this happens I'm surprised they haven't clued in yet.... Seems they would rather continuously hire people than give incentive to those already there. Communication is also an issue as well as a lot of camera watching.
Coworkers are good, helpful and willing to give out their knowledge. 
Just be warned.


I worked for TS for 4 years, I loved my experience there before leaving for another opportunity. The work experience was great, TS has an extremely knowledgeable staff mixed with older experienced people and a good deal of young and eager apprentices, all were great to work with. The work itself was very satisfying from working in the shop, the machine shop, welding and fitting to on road installation and start up was all very satisfying and fulfilling work. Great place to work and gain experience. 

TS makes very interesting products that utilize a wide variety of technologies.  The shop has just been expanded and has a lot of great equipment.  Design, fabrication, machining, paint, electrical, programming, assembly - all in-house.  Lots of opportunity for someone looking for a new challenge, and there are a lot of very talented people here who are always willing to help you out.  Really glad I made the move here.

Management is horrible, absolutely no organization. No advancement, No raises, no bonuses, poor work ethics all around. Most employees are students so nobody really knows what's going on. Think before you apply

Like most family run employers, nepotism and me first culture will drive good employees away. 

Air quality inside the plant is laden with burnt cutting oil most of the shift.   There is air extraction but it doesn't do much. 
I would avoid working here again %100
