- Current Employee, more than 10 years★★★★★Featured Review
Pros
The people, job and a good company to work for.
Cons
No negatives come to mind.
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Excellent company. Community and family focused.
Cons
Sometimes manufacturing hours can be a lot for people.
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Lots of work means lots of hours, good benefits after 90 days, 2 weeks of vacation a year after 1 yr on the job, 3 weeks of vacation after 5 years with the company. On the job training with fork lifts, pole lifts, and other industrial equipment. Good place to learn new life skills and organizational skills that are not natural from everyday life.
Cons
Work load rarely is as consistent as is posted on job forums, many long nights from 8pm to 6 or 7 am when the job is only supposed to last 8-9 hours max. Lots of unexpected turnover from new hires who become frustrated with the lack of hands on training throughout their first year or even just their first 90 days at most. No raises since I have been employed with them for about 3 years now. Management has a tendency to blame employees for work related incidents and accidents instead of stand in front of them and repair downed equipment (fork lifts, pole lifts, pallet jacks) in a timely and effective manner. Different crews (1st shift, 2nd shift, 3rd shift, sample builders, truckers, office clerks) move at different speeds making the work load unmanageable at times as a more experienced crew will often have to pick up the slack from less experienced crews or employees who are being paid the same or sometimes more money but are less productive overall despite having so called tough managers on the work site.
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Please for the love of your mental health don’t apply here it’s so toxic and physically and mentally draining they constantly promise things like raises and bonuses but it’s all lies the only pro is a clean work environment
Cons
Everything except the work environment and the fact that they start you at $16 with no experience are cons the whole orientation where they tell you how nice and family like the employees are is lies and they say if you see something say something but when you call HR not only are they victim blamey they also target you at work
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Shaw has a great corporate culture that enables you to grow your career and develop talent.
Cons
I have a long commute

- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
They care about their people!
Cons
I have nothing bad to say!
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Company makes honest effort to support and celebrate employees, and work culture is cultivated in earnest. Work-life balance in reviewer’s department is protected.
Cons
Low pay, no cost of living increases, constant payroll/HR changes (reason given when company did not administer annual review), lower than market pay for reviewer’s department. Company says they encourage innovation, but do not in actuality. For those who like maintaining technology, it might be a good fit. But for those who want to create and implement, it likely would not. In some ways unreasonably risk averse.

Pros
some of the workers are so good at helping you no matter the reason to make sure you understand the correct way for the job your doing.
Cons
there are some employees that only care about themselves and will put you in a position to fail, you just have to learn the good from the bad
