I would say it's a great place to learn but a lot of the new hires are experienced people for specific roles. 
Morale seems very low among the shop and due to recent union attempt has made it somewhat worse.
Management in the last year and half has been revolving and it's hard to pinpoint what is exactly happening with the new foreman, gm and president. 
The last year or so has been a lot of suggestions being brought up without much or any recognitions but seems slightly hopefully that this is changing with the newest change in management.
Security has been an ongoing factor which is finally being addressed as well as some general cleanliness. 
Most people there are friendly and will be glad to help you with any questions. 
I do feel due to lack of training I am still trying to learn a lot of things on my own even well past the one year mark. 
A lot of the benefits seem to be basic and standard across the rest of the industry (some are lacking still) and generally unless you do above the requirements of your job, you'll probably be hard pressed to see any growth than what you were hired for. They make COLA seem like it's a big thing even though it's barely what the changes are for inflation. 
It is a great place for accommodating to your schedule as there's lots of different times people start and shifts to work with. This can be huge for those with families and better work/life arrangements.
I see this company being a huge contender in the industry but a lot of things have to change to be able to make their workers happy and eager to come to work and it starts with management. Hopeful the new management will be able to steer the company in a better direction. 

There are significant concerns regarding the management team at the Edmonton branch. It appears there is a lack of effective leadership and limited visibility into day-to-day operations at the executive level, which has contributed to instability within the organization. Frequent turnover among office staff—approximately every six months—has created a sense of uncertainty and disrupted continuity. Additionally, the current management culture in the Edmonton branch has negatively impacted employee morale and trust. A thorough review and potential restructuring of the leadership team may be necessary to restore confidence, improve workplace culture, and support long-term organizational health.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Most other employees are good to get along with.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Building things correctly when things are cut wrong, very poor blue prints to work from.  Tools the supply are well below poor shape. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
People you work with are ok. They say there is no rush for work but they want it done fast. They say one thing and expect a different thing.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
6 am start time inspect tools. Make sure the job on table is correct( most likely not from other shift as people dont care. Spend an hour looking for lools needed. Start day if all parts are there if not start looking again.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people. It’s a great crew. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
It is a production facility, and the customers want their products, so it’s all go go go.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It’s a good place, they have a good safety culture. 
As long as you can show up to work on time everyday, and be productive, you are set. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Go to work, do my job, talk to my work mates.

I had to be very open minded and humble to ask fellow fitters and fabricators for advice and methods specific for each job. The blueprints showed where the parts went but fitting some parts sometimes weighing 100"s of lbs while using jib or over head cranes to fit the parts. this job is very unique and only hands on experience will be your best teacher

Very depressing working place. No appreciation .
Management totally disconnected from workers. Millions of profit.
Management gets bonus.  Workers get pizza.
Management still don't get the point that happy people produce more.

Really polite people to work with (one grump). A bit on the cheap side ordering-fixing tools (takes forever to get tools sharpened).When things slow down-you`re GONE. Bonus program up to $100 per month,but it doesn`t get paid till Christmas,if laid off - ZERO $. Depressing place with so many people gone now (five layoffs in a year).

I really enjoyed my time working at WELDCO. The team was welcoming and supportive, and I felt like I was able to learn and grow as a professional during my time there. My supervisor  was always available to answer questions and provide guidance. Overall, I had a positive experience at WELDCO and would recommend it as a great place to work.

Decent place to work at if you don't mind repetitive work and odd shift timings. Not much of a structure for training. Employees are also not easy to get along with.

When I started my first supervisor was great understanding funny and made working there comfortably my co workers were great at training new people and made us feel like one if the crew members on the first day
