Flowserve

Management is very dishonest. Abusive environment. Very un productive environment. Management talks down to staff. Very un professional. Managements creates a lot of problems on the work floor. Worst safety practices I have ever witnessed in my 31 years of experience. Many 90 day dismissals. DO NOT APPLY. They take advantage of the labor market in Brantford. You will never get in fulltime!!!!!
Horrible experience. Prompted myself to go into a totally different career. I made sure I informed my colleagues at British Petroleum the way this plant was run. I also made sure I contacted all other executives in purchasing and sales in this business about the manner in which I was personally treated by the Brantford management staff.  Those of us that operate with the highest standards of employee and customer relations see this as an indicator to avoid using FLOWSERVE products. Their attitudes are reflected in the quality of their products. 

 A lot of useless employees that are unable to react to the current market for their products. Their test stand will kill someone one day in the manner in which it is designed and used.

A typical day was stressful to say the least. Is it just me or are the new managers hired these days (at any age) missing something? It seems as though they lack the operational knowledge. There is no control on inventory and with that inventory is inflated, lack of MRP knowledge, invoices become a huge problem, schedules go out the door.....I just don't know. I have witnessed this with 3 managers recently.
I have gained extensive knowledge in mechanical ability and am expanding this through school.
The most enjoyable is the people. Very rarely do you come across people whom are not friendly and fun to be around. I find I gain a tremendous amount of knowledge from my peers.

The most enjoyable part of my job is doing my job well. I am very good at what I do and am surprised and humbled by how frequent you continually learn something new on a regular basis. I feel my best if I can help someone who is struggling with something if I am able to.

I've worked here for just under 3 years now and I'll begin with working along with your  fellow  peers.
Most of the current staff have been working their at least 15 years which is great in that a lot of experience is there to be offered to you as you grow with the company and most workers are positive in nature and willing to help you if needed.    But, there are some employees which have been working there for over 25 years and act like they are better than everyone and will bring you down if you allow it to happen.  Just keep a positive attitude do your work you will find most other employees to be accommodating.
Supervision and management are in most cases very helpful and have a positive outlook on things.

-The supervisor have a very lack of knowledge practice of the industry, this is a new branch in the Field Services they are trying to open but I know Flowserve can be very successful but only with the proper management in place.I had more experience than the supervisor in the installation we have to do but I try to say what need's to be done with the API regulation and keep ignoring me and at the end it end it up costing more for the company pretty sad.Also a lack of working with the client not against the client is a big thing.
I see a very good positive advancement within the company but unfortunately with the lack of proper guy in place running the show it will not go anywhere.

The work environment at Flowserve is dynamic and collaborative, with a strong focus on delivering high-quality solutions to meet customer needs. It emphasizes teamwork, where cross-functional collaboration between engineering, sales, and operations teams is key to achieving objectives. Employees are encouraged to adopt a customer-first approach, maintaining professionalism and attention to detail in a fast-paced, deadline-driven setting. The culture fosters innovation, continuous learning, and adherence to global standards, making it an excellent place for career growth in the engineering and fluid motion control industry.

troublesome due to employee issues. with a good inside sales system that helped even the day out.
How to us DURCO quote computer system.
Direct co-workers did what they new with out covering my area even when asked. This got me let go.
Management was exceptional until my job was on the rocks.
The hardest part of the job was getting the union employee (bad employee) to complete some simple tasks.
When I got the data acquisition system working for two test stands

It is a good place to work.  It is a US based company with great opportunities for employees.  The overall operations and management teams are developed and continuously improving.  Great staff and great relationships with internal and external customers.  There is a great amount of red tape and politics between the US an Canadian business units.

Typical workday involved interaction with customers and distribution to increase market share, and educate EPC's, Engineering Firms, End-users and OEM accounts of the features and benefits of Flowserve's product offerings, Engineering and Project capabilities as well as product service and support.

Working at Flowserve is fun, but you will have to juggle various responsibilities.  The work is rather unpredictable and chaotic at times, so you will have to balance your priorities all the time ("rush" requests, etc.).  As long as there are good managers in place things go fairly well.  
The company has a few good programs (eg. trade compliance), and provides training opportunities (6-Sigma, etc.).
Most people you work with are cool and easy to get along with.
