Ownership is more focused on buying toys (ATV’s, snowmobiles, boats, trailers) and they store them in half of the plant to show them off instead of taking care of its employees. During slow times you get laid off which is understandable but when they call you back they expect a huge pay decrease. I didn’t see them cut back on their toys but expect the worker to take a huge pay cut. Expected me to take an $8.00 pay cut due to COVID-19. It would have taken me 10 years to recoup that pay.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Getting treated like you don't know how to do your job they hired you for!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Being told you have to work late at the end of your shift!

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very fast pace and highly demanding. Lots of back stabbing and everything is your fault if equipment doesn't work properly. It's very old school mentality.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Non stop go go go! Being told to cut corner left and right! Lots of stuff is hidden from ABSA!

Filthy shop, beat up machines, hard work for low wages. Immediately hit with the strong smell of sour coolant upon entering the building Expectations are high and wages are 25% lower than industry standard. Great company for "new" Canadians.

This place is a prime example of why the machinist trade is dying, journeyman not required, so that they can offer low wages and get un-skilled people to work here cheap.

Fun work place, can be pushed to perform due to short delivery dates but this is understandable due to the industry. There was always opportunities to learn new things from one of the Journyman, Since I was a RAP student and only worked part of the school year I was treated as a colleague which was a great experience,

If you want to be "Looked down upon", by upper management and the only time the foreman needs you to work overtime, is the only time the foreman talks to you with concern! Do yourself a favor, steer clear of Academy Petroleium Ind.

Great atmosphere, coworkers are great, different things to work on all the time. Salesmen are good to work with, supervisors are great! Front office staff are helpful and polite.

The work atmosphere was awesome. Great co-workers, and friendly staff. There were lots of rush jobs but it made the day go by quickly. Always had a large variety of different parts which kept the job interesting. Overall I liked working here.

Each day can vary, you can be very busy, depending on the time of year. It is a friendly atmosphere to work in, management are not distant from their employees and are approachable at any time.

Best company in Alberta  save work kind people I learned lots of things I am really happy thanks for all the team work I am the last person got my lay-off they keep me the end hopefully economy get better soon I will go back

Great place to work, upper management were like family. Still have friends from there.highly recommend working with them, I regret having to leave the shop
