Altex Industries Inc

Worked here doing general labour. During that time I experienced unfairness and a-lot of disregard for my hard work. Supervisors will only help out their friends, including giving them the easiest jobs. Im working with a couple other guys doing probably the hardest job in the shop meanwhile 6 of the supervisors favourites will sit around doing a 1 man job chatting like they are on break all day. Further more we even completed the most work regarding our task even almost doubling the amount of work the other shift completes and we were only met with something of the lines “do more”. 

I cant speak on other supervisors or other areas of the workplace, but the one I was at was a terrible experience. If they would have taken the time to care about our opinions and develop the company to be better, I would have worked hard everyday with no complaint. Weird enough that management gets confused when guys quit meanwhile treating us like we are invisible. 

Pay and benefits are decent at Altex. The work schedule is a compressed workweek: Monday-Thursday, 10-hour days for both night and day shifts, or a weekend shift from Friday-Sunday with 12-hour days and a 4-hour bonus. After 2 months, you receive 100% paid benefits and $2 an hour toward a pension.

The company used to be a great place for steady, long-term employment. However, since 2015, working as a B Pressure Welder through the Boilermakers Union has become more like a temp job. Once you take a call out, you’re not guaranteed long-term stability, and the work is often project-based.

In the short term, Altex is a decent place to work, but if you’re not part of their core group, layoffs can come quickly and without warning. If you want job security, be prepared for the possibility of being let go once the workload decreases.

There are some really interesting power structures in this organization, and this results in weird decisions made based on seniority on people in unrelated departments. HR would not approve the raise I was offered by management, and, as I was hired as temp initially, there was a real gong show getting my benefits after my three months because they did not retroact my start date to my actual first day of work, as I was told when I signed on as permanent. Long story short, I was already not feeling valued when I had a family emergency and chose to move on

I am currently employed with Altex and I can say this is the most rewarding company I have ever been employed with.  The management team is very friendly and they treat you with great respect. The HR group is lead by a manager that can't get any better.  She is amazing. It is a fast paved work environment but the atmosphere is very comfortable.  The perks are great and the fun little activities from time to time keeps the morale up. Best job offer I have ever accepted. 

What is the best part of working at the company?

Working at the company is the most stressful 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Terrible, if you hurt yourself and go on wcb -they will fire you immediately after your claim ends.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Not good. Shake your hand with one hand while putting a knife in your back with tye other.

A typical day is working at my desk making sure tools and trucks are up to date maintenance and recertification's. Always something new to learn with the program and helping other coworkers use it. All coworkers are easy and fun to get along with. Management is making progress and the hardest part of the job is being isolated from coworkers for long periods at a time. Enjoyable part is good hours and friendly faces to work with.

Typical day, check all the machines into the shop, ask operatorors If the have any issue or problem with the machines. A little meeting with my boss, and do a plan for that day. The hardest part of the day,  talk with people who doesnt know what they doing and they are there just because they are owner friends.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?

A very diverse and reliant company. Excellent experience and I would work there again. 
Sustainability at Altex consists of how they design and manufacture products, support customers, supplier engage our suppliers, manage risk, and how they conduct business in the communities where they work and towards one another.

I find overall the company supportive.  People are friendly and the schedule is a nice fit for my life. Depending on what department you work in it can be a bit isolating. But being along is also a good opportunity to be productive. The management makes sure you feel seen though, which is nice.
