Trimaster Manufacturing Inc.

Very stressful environment to work in. Machines are in poor maintenance and very dirty. They dedicate one shift per month just for employees to clean the plant with mops, rags and scrapers. Management is also very poor as they only care about making numbers. There is one supervisor who plays favorites and will assign easier jobs to operators he likes and spends a lot of the shift chatting instead of working. There is also pressure to employees to spend hundreds of dollars on buying their own tool box and tools for themselves. Yes, you can borrow tools to work with, but you have to wait and sign them out, and return them which can take up production time, and people generally don't like sharing their own tools to their is an unspoken pressure to own your own tools just to work. By tools I am referring to basic ones such as wrenches, hammers, and deburring tools. Yes, a lot of the job involves deburring parts manually all shift. Sometimes thousands of parts per job. The pay is also very low, breaks are not paid.

This company WAS a good place to work.  There was many long term employee's with 20 to 30 years there, Most have left !!
Your safety is 100% your responsibility.  Management does not care about your safety and they will turn their backs and let you work in an unsafe manner as long as you make production.
On the plus side this company does have some new equipment and they will hire anyone willing to walk through their door.  If they ever manage to get enough work again to bring this facility back to full production just be aware that the air quality there is really bad and the coolant is disgusting.  Again, your health is your responsibility and if you value it then think about the toxic environment that you will be going into.

Worked there for 2 years and was given minimal training. Job consisted of loading machine with parts, and pressing a button to cut the part. You do that for 12 hours, thousands of times. When a machine broke down/faulted out, supervisor would get angry. If you don't finish your job, supervisor will write you up and bring it up during a review. If you do do your job, no one cares. They give the easy jobs to certain people, and dirty jobs to me. Sometimes when there is no work to do I have to clean the plant for the entire shift. I was missing some pay hours on my paycheck from time to time. Someone stole my tools from my locker and they told me tough luck. Very dirty environment.

Also at the last hour, everyday, the supervisor will lock himself in the room and not talk or help anyone. Amazing.

Working here is not worth it. You will not learn anything worth putting on a resume. The job is just loading parts into a machine and taking them out. There is a lot of cleaning duties because the factory is always generating filth. I spent a majority of my time moping the floor and wiping down machines and scraping gunk. The supervisors did not properly train employees. They expect you to just load machines and make their daily quota and move on to the next day. The pay is also very poor and not worth it since the work is very stressful. There were also days where there was no work available, and they sent me home without pay. I do not recommend staying here for more than a month.

I was assigned this plant from a job agency. On my first paycheque, I was only paid 34 hours for working a 40 hour week. I let it slide, but the same thing happened during my second week. I asked my job agency, and they told me that my supervisor at Trimaster did report I only worked 34 hours even though I came 8 hours everyday for 5 days. Even if I had missed a day, the math doesn't add up. When you are with the agency, your time sheet is filled up by pen and paper, so it isn't reliable and it's easy for anyone to just change the numbers of hours worked. They ripped me off a few hundred dollars and when you are desperate for work, fighting for those missing dollars isn't worth the effort.

I have recently started working at Trimaster and have appreciated the work environment.  As the recent Production Manager I do encourage others who are looking to get into the CNC/Lathe industry to come on board with me.  I consider my interactions with people to be positive and everyone seems to be working to the same goals with teamwork.  If you are looking for an interesting product line and being part of exciting company growth don't hesitate to reach out to Trimasters HR team.

Typical day was wondering what was going to happen next. Laid off 3 summers in a row and I'm thankful they've let me go for good.
My co-workers were good to work with. I made some good friends.
Hardest part of the job for me was knowing I was never valued. I Never had a raise in the 5 years I was their.
Management disrespected its workers. People are broken and hurting and nothing changes. I Thank God I'm out of their and I'm looking forward to a new beginning.

Well, In the 4 months that I worked there I saw 14 people leave. No matter how capable you are, you will never be an efficient worker in the eyes of the owner or supervisors. He will always know what's best(even though he has no clue how to run any of the machines). There is no job advancement it's all lies. It took me months after months to try and get any advancement for pay. Be prepared to be micromanaged, understaffed, and belittled constantly.

Trimaster is a nice and good place to work and develop your engineering knowledge mostly in the use of different measuring tools and engineering drawings. 

I have no regret working at Trimaster.

Alot of really great people work on the floor here which made it barable but most of the management staff was unprofessional and rude. Pay was not very good either, they would pay employees who looked good on paper but preformed poorly much better then the hard working and exceling ones. Also you only got 20 minutes for lunch and no other breaks.
