Pros of working at Tekscan

There is always work to be done during the day. We learn quite a lot of tasks since most of the works are manual and crafty. Coworkers are very friendly, many of them are immigrants and have interesting lives.

Cons of working at Tekscan

Many of our best workers and engineers were layoff in the past years, and production have been suffering with low quality products and wastes due to missing specs. Managers and supervisors blame the floor workers for everything.

Tekscan benefits

There is no benefit working here, many workers already quit, and the remaining are looking silently new job opportunities elsewhere.

What do you like best about Tekscan's CEO and the leadership team?

We already changed Ceo's twice in the past 2 years, the new one now is trying his best to keep the company alive, he is a good and nice person but everything goes wrong due to bad management from production to engineering.

Pros of working at Tekscan

We adquiere many manual skills since multi tasking is a must for this company.

Cons of working at Tekscan

When multitasking go too extended that we have to work of two or three people at the same day. The management slogan is cross training and force workers to learn tasks of different job positions to accommodate the layoffs we experienced in the past 5 years

Tekscan benefits

Nothing positive to say, we only received a meager 1.5% rise when food housing and fuel prices increased more than 10%

Pros of working at Tekscan

Nothing, good employees are all gone by layoffs, firings and quitting. Lack of leadership. New mangers do not understand the technology.
