Capitol Steel Corp

This is by far the worst environment for a tradesman to work at. The boss will hire you on a dime, but beware because you will get fired just as fast as you got hired. Wages are not fair, everybody gets paid different and if you ask for a raise you could possibly be yelled at, sweared at or even as far as being fired. The owner turns a blind eye to the way his workers are treated, I haven't seen an owner less involved in his company than this place. He doesn't seem to care of pay attention to the day to day operations, he allows the treatment of employees to go on. You will get yelled at, sweared at, suspended and so on if the manager sees you and you're not doing the work the way that they want you or your doing something and he doesn't like the way you're doing it.

All of the tools and machinery are so old, they are past the end of their life but the management seems to want to keep pushing whatever they can out of these outdated, inefficient and sometimes dangerous to use machines. You have to ask for everything, if you need a tool you could be waiting up to half an hour just to get it. PPE should be available to a worker at anytime, but you have to ask for any kind of PPE that you need such as glasses, ear plugs, gloves and so on. If you do not have your old pair of PPE, don't count on getting a new one. You will probably have to work without whatever PPE you can't get, until they see that it's a safety problem and then they'll give it to you. 

The work is great, you can learn an extreme amount of fabrication and welding skills. Most of the types of jobs are bridge jobs, but they also do some other structural jobs as well. It is a great place to learn this type of work, but beware any long term stays because it is not worth staying. 

There are always safety issues but nobody seems to care about it, they often have large leaks of water when it rains and welding cables and extension cords that are live and have wires exposed are soaked in the water but supervisors and management seem to not care and want you to continue working whatsoever. The welding machines are outdated, I have not seen any new machines brought in in my time there. If you're a company and you make money off of a contract, it is a good idea to put it into some new welders but that is not the case here.

Great place to learn and improve your skills, but get out and don't look back.

Treating workers like garbage and yelling at them bad words for any kind of mistake is part of a normal day, always ready to point fingers at you. Workers are expected to work overtime and on holidays. Tools are old, heavy and not efficient making the task more complicated than expected on the other hand some workers mishandle them as well. Hardware is cheap too. Safety meetings are such an hypocritical joke when there are hazards all over the place, and employees work above 6 ft without proper equipment, in addition, you are expected to keep very cheap protective equipment until completely unusable. They do not care about improving the place either, seen that it rains inside.
Very little care to prevent welding pollution, dust and paint which is done in the middle of the working area when paint shop is busy. 
Union does not exist because it would have stopped operations many years ago.

Steel production plant that produces bridge girders and other large infrastructure components. They have an experienced field crew and also do site installation. 
Dynamic fast paced working environment. Very low light, with congested plant. 
Shop superintendent is abusive and  has hired many of his relations and has placed them in key management positions, different workers are given special treatment. 
Workers are friendly and knowledgeable.
The hardest part of the job is trying to remain positive with the management team that is in place.
The chance to learn new things. Knowing I played a role and was part of many of Canada's major infrastructure projects gives me a source of pride in my work.

Worked in the maintenance department. The employee turnover was ridiculously high. Was promised the sky is the limit from the plant manager. I learned a lot of things working here but you were always worried about making any sort of mistake as they were always itching to fire people. Minimal regard for safety, poor instruction, no parts or shop supplies in a timely manner, very dirty and management's expectations were unrealistic. If you are certified I would suggest not working here, or do it only for a short period of time as you look for something better.

I got hired on the spot which was great but after working there I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Employee's shouldn't have to go into work afraid of getting fired and yelled at if they have a concern and choose to speak up. The way I see employees being talked (yelled) at from management in front of others is really uncalled for. There is no respect. This work place is not professional and has really bad management. Long hours, short breaks, dirty environment you are off better getting a job else where. Know your worth because its not worth it here

This place is incredibly toxic. Staff are constantly talking behind each other’s backs.
Their processes are ridiculous. They don’t seem to care if anyone even sticks around long term, and with the way things are, they probably never will get anyone long term.
I made it 3.5 days. And in that time, 3 people quit before me.
The hours are long, and they expect you to show up earlier than your scheduled time. “If you’re on time, you’re late”, is a direct quote from them.
The work was easy. Too easy though. Nothing challenging about it. 

They expect the world from you but give you no resources to work with. They expect you to work well above 50 hours and the salary they'll ofer will not fairly compensate you at all. If you have the experience to work the job they offer you, you may thrive. But if you do, why wouldn't you look elsewhere.

Very abuisve environment. The manager verbally abuse everyone. He is very mean and rude. Very unprofessional. He must have not heard of respectful workplace awareness at all. You get hired the same day but will find out really soon that you can get fired anytime despite your good performance. You can't make a mistake or get caught chatting or else you will be reprimanded on the spot and be cursed and told expletives and be embarassed in front of everyone.

no safety, get mistreated and disrespected as an employee and as a human being, manager has no vision on how to improve morale in his production team, owner is a guy who walks around and says nothing to the people who are keeping his dream alive for him.

old tools, unsafe machinery, nobody will listen to you if you have something to say unless it's something they have to say.

other than that, hey you can learn and gain experience in the trade but i would advise you to never, ever work here! GO ELSEWHERE!

Very toxic environment. You must prove yourself a worthy employee on a daily basis. Your job description can change arbitrarily. If you praise the management, and he likes you, you can stick around a bit longer. But even this would be temporary. You can be a top notch in your field but you would be treated like you know nothing about the job. There is nothing positive about working here. Avoid working here by all means, unless your other option is homelessness
