Can Art Aluminum Extrusion Canada Inc.

This is a mediocre job if you can put up with rotating 12 hour shifts and just want to get in and out. Although this is an easy place to get a job at however you need to be very careful with what you agree to do and how you work. Some coworkers were great, others not so much. Like any job.
Getting into more details however; 
The culture is extremely toxic at the Brampton location. It is frowned upon if you speak up about poor work conditions. Management finds petty ways to retaliate. 
You should expect machinery and other equipment to stay in dangerous conditions for long periods of time while being expected to continue to use it. There is no such thing as continuous process improvement at Can Art. Dangerous things to watch for are; lack of safety guards around moving equipment, areas where water pools around electrical panels, grease and oil spills because employees don't care enough to clean up after themselves, overhead hoist parts falling off above you due to lack of maintenance, lack of ventilation throughout entire building and airflow in certain areas.
Maintenance team constantly taking shortcuts, some are poorly trained and sit/walk around on their phones and hide all day. Maintenance response time is usually very slow.
In March 2019 maintenance staff decided on multiple occasions to pour old waste oil into back parking lot storm drains instead of ordering the proper containers for disposal. 
These are just some things that everyone should know before working here. I really recommend looking elsewhere first.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Being employed having a job.  Job seeking is so difficult because everything wi with an agency. Making it more difficult to get a good job.

Doing a four person job with inexperienced individuals. They don’t know what they are doing, and management takes a long time to act.

Very poor , and much of an inclusive team work. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
12 hours of very taxing work with no satisfaction.  Pay does not match all the work done.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I made a few great friends.  We’ve all left. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The owner and the latest HR department don’t care about their employees and play favourites. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Certain employees are favoured and are allowed to do whatever they want while everyone else gets blamed and punished. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
In the beginning (2016) I loved it. By the time I left (2023) I just kept to myself. Did my job and went home. The thought of communicating with coworkers was overwhelming. You couldn’t trust anyone. Especially supervisors.

like a walk in a park, so many people come and go. it's very hot and dusty. depending on your position, work can be light, heavy repetitive and stressful. if breaks were given can be 2 to 5 hours apart. fastest I've witness a worker quit was in 3 minutes. extremely poor management. rewards and promotion only given to the favorites not the employee who works hard and truly deserved it. i don't think their wages and benefits will help bring back your sanity when the company constantly compressed the amount of responsibility inside your head and expect you to work 12 hour shift...racism, harassment and drug use is the norm at can art, since management doesn't seem to care.

What is the best part of working at the company?
WARNING: Revolving Door…I wouldn’t send my worst enemy. Tons of drama. If an operator doesn’t like the way you work, they contact hr and you’re done.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
You work hard for 12 hrs in a continental shift but again, don’t believe what people/supervisors tell you…don’t EVER forget.., you’re just another body/number.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Terrible, starting with HR. This place is full of people that should be in court. My head lamp was smashed in the parking area…

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
This is a stupid question …. NEXT

Without a doubt the most disorganized company I’ve ever dealt with. They can’t hire enough staff to work 3 shifts so its 12 hours and everyone is miserable. The turnover rate is incredibly high. The pay is just average and although they offer a benefits package, I have had to fill out the application multiple times now because HR keeps losing the paperwork. There is no HR access if you work midnights, and it takes days for them to respond if you happen to reach out during their ridiculous office hours. Don’t waste your time applying here if you’re looking for a company that treats their employees well.

New people constantly.They are a unorganized company that does not learn from it's mistakes. Suprised they are still in business. Too hot in summer and no regulars breaks. Hard to get on break because breaks are taken individually so people need things constantly leaving you unable to get on break or lunch yourself and having to hustle like crazy before and after break or lunch. If another driver quits or is ill youare expected to do double duty which is petty much impossible without losing your mind or driving faster than you should be.

The company is always behind production even when you catch up theybwillntelel you they àre still behind. Managers pass  the buck and only care a 
 bout getting materials out thedoor and not the employees well being. It's hot and dirty.  Everything is always rush rush at the employees expense   they claim to pay bonuses  but in the 3 yrs I worked there we as hourly employees have never being on the receiving end of one of these said bonuses.

Management is the worst I will never ever encourage any forklift driver to work there. They over work you though you’re driving and they pay less for it. Cut billets take how much the press wants off, dump scraps, strap it back, then u get called by other press to either move the fill racks put an empty one or load billets, then set up the train to load the materials in the oven the age it, then record it in the computer. It’s a lot of work for 19 bucks go try it out yourself u will see
