Durose Manufacturing Limited

Used to be a good place to work. Not so good anymore. Mainly because management has lost contact with the employees. They have to ask for more input from their employees to foster a team environment. Most employees think that management doesn't care. You hardly ever see the production manager on the floor and rarely see the general manager ,human resources manager or the owner. I guess they think the company will run itself without them being actively involved. The employees notice. If management appears they don't care. Why should the employees care. Many reoccurring mistakes happen on a daily basis. There appears to be very little control of the production by using proven methods and systems. Parts just sit around in any location that is available without any traveler or identification on them. Nobody seems to know what's going on. Nobody seems to know what work should be done next as it appears to change on an hourly basis on the whims of upper management.This company is out of control. Do you want to work at a company where you think the bosses don't know what they are doing?

Although the pay isn’t bad I did not receive even close to what they were offering as a starting wage online.  No afternoon break at the time I worked there. 12:30-4 no break day shift. Basically one of the most toxic work environments I’ve ever been in. Everyone, like seriously almost everyone, walks with their head down. I was told by a supervisor that if I chose to have a coffee at my station to keep it hidden because the owner could have me written up for it. I felt immediately uncomfortable the minute I started and I applied for jobs as soon as I got home after my first shift and quit at the start of my third shift.

Company has seen a steady decline in business, morale, benifits and anything that once was good.  People are treated poorly and blamed for everything where most problems stem from one of the 4 family members who are in positions they are not qualified for.  Expect to be laid off at any time.  The family members blame the workers, engineering, their supervisors, anyone but themselves and if you are in management and tell them what they don't won't to hear you'll be out too.Once was a good company, second generation has destroyed it.  Good luck if you take a job here.

Durose is an excellent place to work for fabrication.  They have every piece of equipment needed under one roof.  They build projects all over North America.  Never had any problems with supervisor or management.  Good wages, great benefits, bbq's once a month.  Overtime every week if wanted.  They push hard for work to get done but what company doesnt.

Interesting work. Always something to learn. Good overtime opportunities. Benefits and RRSP matching. Good welding equipment and consumables. They have almost any tool to do any job. I left Durose and took another job thinking the grass would be greener but I went back to Durose. Always treated fairly and with respect.

I learned a lot more about heavy weld structures and manufacturing processed with the assortment of customers that they served. It could get very fast paced and challenging but overall a good place.

With so many skilled people on the floor, poor management and supervisors let this business fail. A family run business is where things went wrong here. Hiring outside staff to run the business would definitley help reduce rework and make on time deliveries

Currently working as a fitter welder.  Very interesting work and the shop is very well tooled.  No problems with supervisors or management.  The place is very clean and safe.  Like any business you are expected to perform.  This place is not for unskilled and unmotivated people.

Penny pinching owners/ company. One break, and one unpaid lunch. 44 hour week but over time paid after 44. A lot of place pay after 40.
No one respects you as a skilled trades person. I would never recommend to anyone. I can't say one good thing about this company.
