Hi-Tech Seals

Fun place to work however some departments have a very low moral. I always loved working here and was able to grow my career. Schooling was paid for as long as the course pertains to a position at Hi-Tech. My department was fantastic and made it fun to come into work everyday.  I would have stayed, however, I felt I was at the end of advancing and decided to try another company. Compensation isn't great, they do a yearly review. Sometimes all you get is cents, then have to wait another year for your next raise. The only thing that makes up for the low compensation is profit sharing is every quarter. For the most part you can pick your own hours depending what department you are in. Overall, I would recommend this company to anyone interesting in applying. 

Toxic environment, lots of cliques and groups who like to make things up to make you look bad if they don’t like you. Have been timed by these groups when going to the bathroom and going on my break even though it’s not their job. Never Ever gives raises, was given 1 in 3 years and was taken away due to budget cuts. They are very cheap, you even have to bring your own coffee creamer. HR is usually always hiring someone new so it’s hard to trust anybody. Very short staffed, yet paid minimum wage and not seen for any extra hard work that’s done. Sales comes into the warehouse and yells at the shippers if the order wasn’t done correctly  (even though that’s how it was explained on the invoice) Mentally and emotionally straining to work here.

Went from moving from Edmonton to Winnipeg for this type of job.  Reason why I took it was because of the pay increase from my old job and I can be closer to my fiance.  I wish I worked my old job again after working here.

I failed to understand why they would terminate my position without cause and not switch me to a different focus in the company.  They informed me they are planning to focus on other means (cheaper) of manufacturing seals and gaskets.....

It turned out they were planning on replacing me after one little mistake.  I'm not sure if I want to  recommend this company to other people.  They have high expectations, but there shop definitely showed it with their poorly maintained machines and cleanliness.   

It's a great company to work for if you're looking to gain experience and learn the career you're going into.  Management is strict but fair, they will always help you learn and understand the position. The pay pretty low compared to other companies for the same  positions. Coworkers are awesome and positive people, I enjoy working here. They help pay for education if that benefits your current position and helps advance your career. Benefits are very basic. 

Most employers all start out with potential, and their best face forward. Thats true here too. Dont get me wrong, there are good things and people here to work with. I was at one time happy here, then the P happened. As with any area in life, the P either brought out the best or the worst in all of us. So many things could of been dealt with better, and with that, Ill say no more. Just do your research ahead of time, be informed in advance. 

This company is geared only towards there salesmen. The warehouse has 2-3 ppl working in it and is super disorganized. Management and salesmen constantly come into the warehouse and yell at the staff. If you happen to make a mistake on a order the salesmen will come to the warehouse and verbally abuse you. “Staff meetings” were just an excuse for the salesmen to talk sports for an hour. Overall it’s one of the worsts work environments I’ve ever experienced. 

Each day was pretty much receive invoice and prepare necessary documents for international shipping. I learned a lot about the oil and gas industry while at this job. 

The hardest part of this job would be figuring out the materials the items we were shipping out.

The most enjoyable part of the job is the connections formed in the company.

If Corporate wokeness is something you crave, youll fit right in. Warning...that includes not being allowed personal bodily autonomy. This includes the need to a part of groupthink.

Fun, Fast Placed Workplace, Days Fly Buy Easily.  You'll learn a lot about seals both measuring them and where they are used.  Monthly social activities with yearly golf tournament and a great Christmas Party at the end of the year.

Several locations, however time spent was at Newmarket.
Office manager is a great asset to the company however the other has hopefully left. Pay was poor, very old systems, definitely needed some changes
