Coordinate Industries Ltd.

Coordinate Industries gave me an opportunity to learn and grow as a person when I did not have much experience. They truly care about their employees and invest every year in continuous improvement, employee training, and automation. I have been with the company for almost five years, which has allowed me to see how much the company has changed and grown, and how much I have grown both personally and professionally.

In the last two years, since Lean Six Sigma was introduced, many positive changes have taken place. The environment, organization, and cleanliness of the company have improved significantly. There are always opportunities to grow (including monthly trainings), to learn, and to move into new positions within the company if you show that you are willing and able to work hard. You will be rewarded more than fairly.

The workplace culture is amazing, and the people here have become my home away from home. Everyone is extremely nice and welcoming, which is the best part of the job. I would definitely recommend giving CIL a chance if you are looking for a busy company with management that truly cares.

Typically, you'll come to work to see what jobs are running or being setup. You will then run or continue to setup the jobs. 

As you finish Pieces, typically you will be checking tolerances on them or looking for defects.

Sometimes you will be overloaded with multiple machines with very low cycle times.

Other times you will zone out and only have a 3 hour long part and a 30 minute long part to run.

Management seems to only care about supervisors opinions. Some supervisors will specifically target you as a problem if you are unlucky. Other times they will promote people that are not very good.

Another ongoing issue is that there is almost zero consistency in how people are treated for mistakes.  One person damaged an 800k machine and nothing happened. Another person was caught sitting in a chair for five hours instead of doing their job and was kept for years before they left.

Company culture is fairly good. Cycle times on the machines can allow some smalltalk between employees, which is fine. Be careful who you talk to, however.

People who become employed at this company either stay for many years, or leave rather quickly. Make of that what you will.

A typical day started with a shift change at which I would be briefed about what had transpired in the preceding eight hours or so. In general this went smoothly because all the co-workers were the nicest people to work with. But, there  was a common problem: most of them were not proficient in English and explaining stuff or relaying information was less than stellar. But somehow we managed to get the day's work done. No big deal there. Management was more or less a one-man show: the owner of the company. He was a very nice, warm, considerate guy that I would not hesitate to work for again. For me the most thrilling part of the job was coming to the end of a given batch of parts....I would often say: Done!

There are definitely some old school guys here that you're going to have to learn how to navigate. It can be a disorganized, but they're always looking to promote from within. Keep your head down, do your job, show a medium amount of interest in the job and they'll shine on you. There's a lot of flexibility to move between departments and shifts.

It's family owned, so that obviously comes with pluses and minuses. They pay you for attending events, give extra paid days over the holidays, and I've never heard of them refusing vacation time. 

If you're competent, decent, slightly personable, and keep the machines running, you'll be fine.

I am a formal employee in coordinate industries for around 4 years from 2016 to 2019. The company gave me a lot of chances to learn about CNC, also a very nice and warm president and co-workers. When I first started my career in this company, even though I graduated my college for 2 years, I still didn't know much about CNC. However, the company gave me a lot of chances to grow up. I feel guilty after I leave this company that I just worked 60 percent of my ability. Here is a place worth to work 100 percent, the owner is gonna treat you really fair.

Working at Coordinate gave me the opportunity to learn about smaller company strategies for growth and management and helped me gain important insight into the complexities of running a business from a high level and learn how to scale and all the obstacles that come with it. Some of these skills involved managing people, driving sales/profits, project management, ensuring customer satisfaction, devising strategies about what segments to target for business development.

•	In charge of delivering final product to customers as well as transporting parts between subcontractors for processing purposes
•	Support of the shipping and receiving area of the company
•	Gained manufacturing experience related with airplane parts and materials used for different scenarios, where weight, brittleness and hardness were vital for the outcome of the part
•	Familiar with the use of a KANBAN system of inventory

They either leave or get fired. Says it all

So they don't train you. You're either good enough, or not. If you're good enough, they don't pay you enough.

The staff turnover is so bad, they don't bother and because they struggle to keep staff. The ones that have been there a while are swamped and don't have the time.

Very toxic environment. Things will be said about you behind your back. Some people are nice, choose carefully.

It's a kind of labour job which is exciting in the beginning and becomes dull and boring with time. Manager and lead only care about own raises and salary 

Impossible to grow as a person. And hard to get better position after even working 3 years. Long hours and wiered timings. Hard to manage familylife and work.
