DOMINION COLOUR CORPORATION

This has to be, without a doubt, the worst place any young person could want to work. The factory is derelict because of the amount of money their employees cost, all having worked their for years under a very handsome collective agreement ( of which no one but them is privy to should you start working there ). Their methods are so antiquated that if they were updated their staff (which for the most part is 50+ years old) would fall by the wayside so fast they would not be able to call their rep and picket fast enough. Slime.

Worked there for about a month, training was easy, as you will learn the job very quickly.  Depending on the trainer, mine was informative but too full of himself. The starting pay is good for an entry level position. But the negative thing about this place are the people you work with and the equipment is old and poorly patched together. Very toxic work environment, everyone there is so miserable from start to finish.  Old employees have no respect for anyone of higher management.  


Used to be a good company to work for until management made close to $100m in a buy out and now existing employees  have to pay for this.   Moral is terrible, everyone is overworked and does not have time to look for a new job, new hires usually leave within 6 months and US Hedge fund managers have no idea what is going on.   Due to slow economy for several years salaries are not competitive and no adjustments made.  Terrible place to work

Avoid working here

I loved my job until there was so much turnover in management that it no longer resembled the same company.  New management created a toxic work environment and also created office politics where none had previously existed.  I did find out later that this person was unable to keep employees at previous companies and had been described as a monster to work with.  I was done by the time I was done there. 

My fellow employees were exemplary ; 63 yrs and 73 yrs of age. If only the modern corporate structure reflected their values we would be  headed to a brighter future. The bottom line is immediate and transient, what about tomorrow ???An upside down pyramid is going to fall.  Make our foundation solid an the sky is literally our limit.....

What is the best part of working at the company?
The pay cheque that you get...

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Knowing you only get 80 percent pay, for doing the job.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The people that work there were great.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Hot and dirty, alot of stair climbing.

It is what it is, like all corporations these days it’s run by a soulless private equity firm (HIG), so they squeeze every penny for shareholder benefit. The job is relaxed, but management is mediocre at best, good Supervisior’s though. Ultimately we are Teamsters Canada, but a weak local (1979)  that’s better than nothing. 

Micromanagement. The gave me a salary increase and said we accidentally gave you one and would like to take it back. Felt cornered and overloaded you with work. 1 employee had to do multiple positions. Not properly trained and horrible management.

This used to be a private well run company and has been recently been purchased by an Investment firm.
Plant is being turned upside down and made "lean". They have increased upper management and reduced middle management.
Belief is that parent company looking to flip and make a quick profit

People were nice that work. Write a test, hot and dirty. Only get 80% of wage due to the union contract which I found unfair, for doing the same work as the senior guys. Very high turnover rate. Management hard to understand heavy accent.  Also have to have physical done prior to highering.
