The air quality had been failed by third party inspection done in 2017, but HR lady lied to ministry about that as no report was submitted to ministry. Company installed substandard methods for just formality.As no air quality check done ever after.

Accidents happened every week, but in every so called monthly meeting HR showed no report and zero down time. Just imagine the lifting of 5000 pounds 12 feet metal with Just magnets!!

The HR lady at Bramalea location was just waste of space;no manners and garbage attitude. Importantly, As a safety representative, She know how to lie to ministry about bad / failed air quality test report. 

There were three production supervisors in day shift,One was just jumping from one tree to another, Second one just riding forklift and back-stabbing on floor,Third one was just a joker to please bootlickers. The one old supervisor in afternoon shift was busy in back-biting and just staring around.

The so called monthly meeting and training is a bluff. If you asked any question:- You will be fired with allegations of being drunk on same day. As no breathe test or blood test will be conducted.

This is not for experienced or certified welders. There's 3 Supervisors on days 2 of them cant even weld one of them is an accident waiting to happen and the other is a glorified forklift operator. The third supervisor can weld a bit but has no concept how to talk to employees. All there is there is rework from robot or other welders. You get pushed constantly by the accident waiting to happen and he cant even weld has no idea or concept what goes into jobs. Because they has no idea about welding they give new inexperienced welders jobs they should get just to create more rework and they keep losing parts of the contract from Skyjack and constantly blames the customer for not be able to meet demands or quality.Upper management seems to be ok with this. Unless management does a major overhaul with supervisors this is a dead end company

Typical day at work is I start off by waiting for quality to check the work which takes a little while to do so. Take down the product into a rack gather all the pieces with a crane then quality checks it again which takes a while. Management is not good they cannot organize and I do what I can to get everything done but they never get al the pieces it is a lot of waiting when I just want to work an also they way they talk to the employees with no respect.They buy old machines that always break down. they over work the workers and get mad and hold it against them when they get sick they painters are no good runs all over the place and they ship garbag over quality which is sad  The hardest part of my day is waiting to work it drives me crazy. worst place I have ever worked

There is a daily routine where each staff is assigned to perform their functions are clearly defined.  Each staff has ample opportunity to learn various facets of their job and related skills.  Management is outcome oriented and there is a good team environment which enhances the workplace.  The plants communicate among each other effectively and share resources as needed and utilize common services such as A/P, A/R and corporate head office is nearby.
When new programs are launched, resources can be stained and staff are needed to work extended hours to ensure on-time completions.  The most enjoyable part of the job is seeing a successful completion of a challenging task or project.

A typical day, is to work hard, not smart. Push as hard as you are able.
I learned, there are some really bad welders out there.
Management, typically have no experience in this line of work.
Workplace culture. Great group of guys. HR needs someone with better people skills.
The hardest part of the job would be dealing with inexperienced people that are in charge.
The most enjoyable part of the job is the last hour before you go home.
When they tell you what your pay will be, ask for it in writing.
Weld fumes are intolerable. When the doors are closed in the colder months, you will suffer some kind of bronchitis. A respirator is a must.

Good luck.

A typical day at Matcor involves great team communication and efforts in order to push through a specific job. The workers and office team is good and fairly easy to get along with. The management however is a completely different story. They are all over-paid and under-qualified for their jobs. There were many times when decisions were not made correctly, and even times when management relayed to other people to make decisions due to their own lack of decision making skills and confidence in their position.

I would not recommend this place to anyone, unless you are a skilled general laborer, or skilled tradesman.

I have been a welder here for 2 years at the Bramalea plant, I take part in new product launches and regular production.   I’ve interviewed for the supervisor position 3 times without any feedback..  sometimes I feel unappreciated and do more then I should, Supervisors are Ok.   HR generalist is amazing, very helpful/knowledgeable and deserves a lot more credit then she gets, she puts everyone first before herself and has helped me out a lot.  The hourly rate is just ok, but all in all great place to get experience.

Its a good company, but the pay is not worth it. The morning supervisor tell you to work fast even though you are doing your best. They should do give the worker more time on lunch break. When i got hired by agency there were 3 months probation to get the benefits but i almost waited a year to get it.

Working at the Bramalea location, not a good environment, a material manager was hired is very racist, also the supervisors always fight with each other and have no respect for any of the employees that work there, the place is an unsafe environment, and they expect one person to do like three people work,

Typical days at work are always something different. Even if you go into work with a plan, something always comes up. People/managerial skills were learned. Very multicultural, friendly environment. Seeing operator satisfaction was definitely the most satisfying part of the job.
