Pros

You will be forced to work overtime even if you don't want to. It's good for people who want to make more money. The starting wage is $ 14/H. Be prepared for 12 hour shifts constantly but understand that you'll be doing a lot of lifting and machining.

Cons

No ventilation system to speak of and the fumes are everywhere, it's a toxic work environment. The place just stinks, you can smell it from a distance. There is no heating in winter and no cooling in summer. If you work there you are guaranteed to get injured. All Linamar workers do the "Linamar gait" that's that strange one, two shuffle people do after leaving work because their feet and knees hurt so bad. You will probably develop all kinds of issues ranging from problems with your shoulders, back, wrists, elbows, hips, knees to feet. Unfortunately people have been injured far worse. There was a recent incident when an individual was badly burned by an arc flash while doing maintenance.
