This is a smaller company who thinks they are huge, they have poor management that lack interpersonal and soft skills. They show clear favouritism to certain employees and the others are reminded that everyone is replaceable, funny that’s the mentality of the senior leadership team but they struggle to get employees.  The atmosphere is beyond toxic, at one point in time there were over 75 employees who had come and gone in roughly a year.  Probably more staff turned over than the total number of employees.

Training is pretty much a joke, they don’t train you for the position that you are going to work in.  There is no support if you need help, if you ask for assistance you get a Vice President who will use words against you and belittle you.  They once were a fantastic company, under the new ownership group and poor choice of senior leadership team this is not the case now. 

As a current employee with frontier power products, I can say that this is a great place to work and to grow your career. With such a diverse team across all the branches, you really get to see what opportunities are available to you, and how the entire company strives to make it a team effort across the board with communication and growth. The upper management team and HR department are there to help you with any questions or concerns without hesitation, and accommodate you with open arms. I am happy I took the chance and accepted my position here, and can strongly say you wouldn’t be disappointed in taking a position with Frontier Power Products! 

People are quitting from Frontier Power  Products across all the branches, not because they don’t like working here but more so due to the consistence lies, lack of direction, and lack of parts again stemming from upper management down.

14 technicians, 6 service advisors, 5 service managers  have quit in less than 2 years of National Service Managers employment due to lack of support and direction.

VP consistently  lies about how well the company is doing, yet doesn't mention anything about the toxic cultural.  HR department head is rude and blames others of wrong doing. Parts are never stocked so you end up waiting for weeks before you get them.

A typical day at work at Frontier was pretty similar to any other shop I worked in during my 20 years in diesel repair just a little bit tidier and more structured.
Working on interesting builds is a big bonus and the salary and benefits are good. 
I'm honestly not surprised to read all the negative reviews about management having only worked in the trades since I was 15, I can say I have never held a job where at least a few guys didn't think they could run the shop better than the managers. Management seemed fair to me.

I liked working at Frontier and if an off the job injury didn't force me into early retirement I'd like to think I'd still be there.

My only issue with Frontier was actually with a colleague a year or so back. It was resolved and since then I’ve never had a single issue. My coworker and I just never saw eye to eye on anything. I often thought I was helping but we couldn’t agree. It was during a company bbq that we finally broke the ice and never looked back since. My time here had been amazing.



The job and company used to be amazing, changes came in senior leadership and the company started a downward spiral. Now the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. Run by engineers who haven't the slightest clue. Morale is at an all time low and employees all walk on egg shells  while fearing for their jobs. Head office and upper management keep on loading up on employees to make their jobs easier yet cut the staff on the floor. I struggle to see this company ever reach levels of success like it saw in years prior.

The company has been around for many decades and has grown. Overall, it’s been very good as it’s led to many personal development opportunities. I upskilled in a few areas and my career continues to grow along with my skills. I do think all businesses have areas of improvement that change with time but overall it’s been a very, very good business to grow with.


-always something new to do, never boring
-got to travel to parts of Manitoba and North Western Ontario
-hardest part, having to leave my kids for days at a time, but they understood my job
-best part, I got to know those customers out of the city, how actually requested me specifically to repair something because I have been there and saw their equipment, they request someone they know to get them up and running

Management changes in 2021 changed the environment into an inhospitable wasteland. Management doesn’t understand the job or how to do it but they’re happy to tell you that you’re doing it wrong or threaten your job if you don’t agree with them or want to drop your personal life to travel thousands of km at a moments notice 

The company is growing in size. Along the way there have been many changes but all have been positive and staff have benefited from the changes. It really surprises me reading some of the reviews - maybe people don't like change? 
Guys in the shop are great helping customers with quick deliveries and support in the field. 
It's a good team!
