Where to begin, low morale they “stress safety” however the ideology is more like “who cares just go go go” the operations manager is a self centered joke of a person, no class and respect for the workers

Management blames everything on the workers. No real direction , basically if you don’t pick up the job within a month( I’m being generous). They just assume your not fast enough and lead you to failure.  High high turnover rate at this job, there are cliques as well 

Empty promises of change that never comes , also they seem to always “keep you on contract” just as an excuse to let you go if they don’t like you... I’ve worked for some questionable companies before.. But this one tops the cake!  
Forced to use and find hand me down coveralls cause they are too cheap to get new ones or repair old ones so you get either too big of coveralls or ones with tons of holes and rips in them... missing tools galore make it hard to do your job... all in all don’t work here. You will regret it!

Nice people and friendly place. 
You will only make a decent living if you put in overtime.
they start you with almost minimum pay and you will be dealing with a lot of hazardous materials.
if they could at least add a little incentive for working with hazardous materials, this place would be great.
otherwise, $16.80 inhaling mercury and other contaminants just make people quit after a day or 2.

The pay and benefits are decent, and they have an RRSP program, but the company is not a good place to work.The management is terrible and is run by the "old boys club". Morale is always low and nothing ever seems to change this.

In my time here I have seen some overhaul in supervisors and this has led to a better work environment, and it could get better still. But lots of work needs to be done to make this a good place to work. If the economy is good and you have other options, take those instead.

Working with hazardous waste would always keep you on your toes.Never knew what kinds of goods would be entering the building and what the proper procedure would be to take care of them. I learned a lot about chemistry as to what products could or could not be close together. 
The hardest but still the most the most rewarding part of my job was keeping everything in the shop organized and accounted for. Making sure items were dissembled and packed up and ready to be transported to meet specific standards and deadlines.

The job is fairly easy, and you should pick it up fast. It isn't particularly difficult either. However, you are working with various carcinogenic/flammable/corrosive substances constantly, and aren't well compensated for the risk.  They also had two fires in a period of a few weeks, one of which nearly burnt the building down. You could eventually advance to a lead-hand position, but you'd be better off switching to something that pays better. 

One of those jobs if you keep your head down and work robotically you can stretch it out for some time. Management is uneducated top down unfortunately. No salary reviews, RRSP cut down to DPSP. They will through some cheap food at you to keep you happy. If your looking for advancement this is definitely not the place. Continuing education payed for some not all. Management is insulated with you guessed it - buddies !!!

people there feel stuck and cant leave but also cant fight the system to have a better culture overall. The staff are mostly avoidant types and scared to bring up any issues. The management only cares about money and not about safety of workers or about having workers that impact a positive and inclusive culture

What I found at Aevitas Kirkland Lake were motivated and helpful people. In most other places I worked I felt compelled to ‘dumb down’ my verbal expression to fit in, there was no such feeling here. Very welcoming and pleasant place to work.


8 hours of work, Monday through Friday with opportunity for overtime if desired.
Team work environment where everyone is encouraged to express ideas and have input.
Safety in the work place comes first.
Most coworkers are enjoyable to work with.
Long time employment if you follow direction well. No tasks are overly difficult.
