E.D. Smith

What is the best part of working at the company?
The paycheck  and breaks don't have to clean anything up.the place is a pig sty so they don't care if u clean 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
None of there equipment work the machines are always breaking down.and the mechanics are useless.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very clicky there the 20 year people are awful to the newer people just awful I have seen 40 girls walk out crying because the old vets are so mean and will not help you sit and watch u fail and laugh at you it's  awful there .

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
The machines breaks down about 3X and hour or more.alot of standing around doing nothing..

HR, lied during hiring process. They tell you anything to get you in the door. Then just before your 3 mths are up they fire you! Without any reasons.  

Show up; for work everyday, and never told there's a problem till they make an excuse just to get rid you!  Get good reviews in the beginning just to be told otherwise. Lack of communication basically lied to your face the whole time. 

Can't fix a problem without knowing where the problems are learning new a process.  Management! should follow up! To see exactly what you! Know.  Any new job! Requires time spent on job enough time given after accomplishing it. Moving on to a new task.  Pushing people from one job! To another soon isn't teaching someone.  

Don't Honour thier Contract. 

Generally, the staff are nice and welcoming. The work however, can be mindless and boring so the day feels like it goes on forever. Usually the student jobs consist of one shift during the summer (days or afternoons, sometimes nights). You get weekends off and if you work day shifts you're done by 3pm. It is not a bad job at all but it is really hard to get in. You must have a family member that works with the company to be considered as E.D. Smith is very family oriented. There has been less and less work for students each summer so they hire less people each year.

What is the best part of working at the company?
About 90 percent of the workers are very very friendly and kind.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I have never experience stress in ED Smith as far as I am concerned.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Ver very good and the environment is conducive.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day for me is that sometimes when production is slow they ask the temp workers to stay at home and they only use their full time workers.

An overall great place to work. I am treated very well. They train you in an appropriate way, that suites peoples pace of learning. Co-workers are great for the most part.  Good management that knows how to communicate. Night shift can be a little difficult at times, because I'm not a night person, but the wages and benefits more than make up for that.

Great atmosphere with very minimal stress. Hardly ever left work stressed or worrying about what I didn't finish or what I needed to do the next day. I worked in the Quality Assurance lab and enjoyed the work I did day in and day out. Coworkers were great to work with and everyone is easy to get along with. The hardest part of the job that it is a plant that runs 24 hours a day so there is shift work required. It is hard on the body rotating through 3 different 8 hour shifts every couple of weeks

Express works with you if you are into the job. Been at my current job 5 months and hope to become hired on. Currently showing up during every scheduled shift. Some weeks there isn’t any work however if you like the company you are placed at - stick it out and try to become employed by them. 

Express cares and it shows. Sometimes you have to ask something more than once.

I personally don't like working in a factory, but hours were guaranteed (40 a week) and I only worked during the week days. I enjoyed having the weekends off. The day starts early at 7am but ends at 3pm. Management was good in my department. They were approachable and understanding.

It was great working with the company ED Smith and the only set back that existed was that I got this job through another agency and they did not respect what was happening to me during the time when I was trying to explain that something happened to me during the job.

I have found the staff to be friendly, approachable and always willing and keen to help.  The management team goes above and beyond to ensure all your questions and concerns are adhered to in a timely manner
