Unique equipment - Millwright Apprentice Lethbridge Iron Works Employee Review

Not much just alot of work

Management sucks and no communication

I can't walk anywhere in this plant without having someone say hi, or givng a fist bump. Most of the guys socialize outside of work hours. Boot allowance. Free prescription safety glasses. Invested in "LEAN" manufacturing system, and actively promote the suggestion of work place improvement ideas from anyone in the plant. If you have an idea to make a task or procedure easier, they want to know about it and will even reward you if the idea gets put in place. In house hiring for apprenticeships and more technical roles give opportunity to advance yourself. Above average wages for production work. Indoor work, nice and warm during the winter. Unique interesting setting. pension plan is fantastic. Profit sharing. Very transparent management/ ownership. When times are good they are glowing and telling everyone how awesome we are doing and really supportive. When times are tough and the numbers are ugly, there is no sugar coating it, and everyone is expected to try and find ways to turn the ship around.

Dirty, dusty, loud, harsh setting. Can be dangerous at times-We are pouring liquid metal after all. Benefits are the worst I have seen. No optical coverage at all, and laughable dental coverage. I would gladly pay double our benefits cost for a reasonable package. Repetitive work and long continuous hours on your feet. Some out dated equipment.
