Techo-Bloc

Coming from the automotive industry, where the pace was relentless, and employees often felt like just a number, my experience at Techo-Bloc has been a refreshing change. Here, I feel genuinely valued, and my suggestions are taken seriously. While the work can be stressful at times—this is, after all, a dynamic business environment—there’s a strong sense of purpose and drive that makes the challenges worthwhile.

One of the standout aspects of Techo-Bloc is the accessibility of leadership. Whether it’s the Production Manager or Plant Manager, I feel confident approaching them with concerns, suggestions, or for guidance. The resources provided allow me to perform my job effectively and efficiently, which is crucial in maintaining high standards.

I would absolutely recommend working here to family and friends. Hard work is recognized and rewarded, creating a motivating and supportive atmosphere. What I appreciate most is the involvement of all levels of management, including the owners, in the day-to-day operations. Whether addressing breakdowns or other challenges, they are hands-on and proactive—something that was sorely lacking in my previous workplace, where management often dictated from the sidelines without truly understanding the situation.

Overall, Techo-Bloc fosters an environment where employees are empowered to succeed, and that makes all the difference.

Its sad that the yards don't care for their employees as much as they should. Working as a General Labourer you are treated as a lower class citizen. The Supervisor's claim you have advanced in the company but then doesn't pay you accordingly to the title they claim you are. If you go and say something to HR your Supervisor will then get angry and you will have a target on your back which shpuld not happen. Upper management needs to adresse this situation as the general Labourer's are the reason products get produced, they are the ones making sure the customer gets their product in the end handling the finished goods, they are the end of the line and they are the ones that handle the product yet are treated with no respect, If they were treated with respect and felt cared for by their supervisor MAYBE there would be less people leaving and the finished goods would be handled with more care. This is because the supervisors are not truly caring for their teams. They see them as dispendable and replacable!!! But if they actually treated these men who are WORKING SO HARD with the decency of providing them with the raises and respect they deserve maybe they would not quit so much!!!!

The one word I would use to describe this place is, TOXIC. They expect you to eat, breath, and sleep Techo-Bloc. The work-life balance is terrible, and if you set real boundaries they take it as you’re “unmotivated”. And forget having a life if you want to move up in the company. 

Projects will be approved months ahead of time, and like clockwork, management will make last-minute changes that force the whole team to stress and panic.

Management always talks about their high-turnover rate and how people aren't "techo material" when in reality the issue comes from the environment they
created.

A lot of the execs/managers are related to the family somehow, so best believe nepotism is alive and well here. 
I once heard one of the managers talk horribly about another employee, who isn't even on their team, for a solid 20 minutes. Just an awful place to work.

Techo-Bloc is a family run company that has been in fluid growth since it's inception, over 25 years ago. The owner's have a direct impact on the day to day functions of the organization, demonstrating the passion and dedication they have for the company which has been instilled in the workforce. 

If you work hard at Techo-Bloc it will pay off. With the constant growth they experience there is room for an individuals personal career growth. By demonstrating perseverance and drive you will have many opportunities at Techo-Bloc.

Your co-workers are great people and are very warm and welcoming. The atmosphere is one where information is shared easily and everyone works to help each other achieve greatness.

The environment is fast paced and can change on a dime, which makes working here fun, exciting and keeps you on your toes! If you're looking for a place to never be bored and a company that makes you think and challenges you, Techo-Bloc is a great fit!

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part about working at Techo-bloc was the drive home. There was nothing good about working for that company 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The moment the management walks in the building. They are looking to degrade anyone in their path

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Worst I’ve ever seen. Everyone that works there is constantly stressed about what kind of mood the plant manager or his bosses are in

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very long hours. They make it sound like overtime is an option but after the first day they expect you to work 11 hour days 5 days a week. They also ask(not really) for you to not take breaks or lunch, and they will pay you for them plus one hour. At first you are new and don’t want to say no but after a while, when you actually do want to take breaks and lunch. It’s not an option if you want to keep your job

Pay was good, benefits are not. I was mandated 50-60 hours every week for 2 years straight. I saw more than 60 employees quit or be fired in those 2 years. Micromanagement like I’ve never seen before. CEO’s, directors, managers all standing over you, losing their mind when things don’t go perfect. You can never be fast enough until they’ve decided you’re too fast. Constantly understaffed and overworked. They’ll ask you to work through lunch and break, not to take vacation. Safety is not a thing here. I’ve never been spoken down to like I was here. The worst professionalism I’ve seen from upper management anywhere. You’ll never be worth the money they pay you in their eyes. The work is challenging but rewarding, I love the team that I worked with.
Don’t work here unless you need the money and don’t mind getting berated for it. Worst employment experience of my life.

Techo-Bloc makes nice landscape products and is very appealing from the outside. 

Inside the walls of the building is a different story. A family run company the owner has the final say in every decision made. Papers and projects sit on desks for weeks,months and sometimes forever. Managers (often relatives, cousins, family friends) will routinely yell and belittle employees. If you have a choice in where to work do not come to Techo-Bloc. The low employee morale, lack of opportunity and frustration will have you running to the door at 5pm. You work 40 hours a week with 2 forced weeks at Christmas. Most departments are understaffed with 2-3 people per office.

The manager I had was completely unqualified for his job, Did not have the experience or the education. Being a friend of the family helped.

On the good side you can look forward to a yearly increase in salary and a Christmas bonus.

Techo-Bloc is family run and that's what I loved about it. If you have good ideas, you work hard and show loyalty and dependability, the owners recognize it and want to see you succeed. They're encouraging, invest in you, the tools you need and the ideas and solutions you bring forward. It's very open, not very formal or hierarcal.  There's really no career stifling bosses that make it because the owners are involved and you get face time with them. It's a very sales culture from the inside out. You need to be able to sell your ideas internally and prove you can execute. Upper and middle management is filled with colourful, passionate personalities. Conversations and meetings get heated sometimes but it gives everyone a chance to speak their mind.

The work itself is meaningful and engaging, and that’s what makes the broader experience here more frustrating than it needs to be. There is a clear expectation of constant productivity, but it isn’t matched with the level of direction or alignment required to make that sustainable.

Management tends to operate at a distance from the day-to-day realities of the role, which results in expectations that are often impractical. This disconnect, combined with a high degree of oversight and micromanagement, can make it difficult to work effectively or feel trusted to deliver.

Long hours and a strict in-office requirement put consistent pressure on work-life balance, and over time, that becomes difficult to maintain.

I've been working for Techo-Bloc for 10 years. This is and always has been a very fast pace work environment because the company is constantly growing. When i started there were 150 employees and we are now 700+.

The owners and management are demanding but hard work is always rewarded. Usually with either promotions and/or raises. Any reviewer that says otherwise is probably because they are lazy!  

Very innovative and design oriented company with huge focus on quality and reporting. Dynamic team of both young & seasoned professionals who work well together and have a winning attitude about everything.

If you are a winner and are not scared to work you will mesh well & move up the ranks quickly. Many positions constantly opening up and opportunity for anyone to grow if they want it.
