Sewing Machinist Role - Sewing Machinist Canvasman Employee Review

If I'm honest I didn't feel there was any pros.

Gave me a trial knowing I had no experience in sewing, then rang me a few weeks later saying I have the job. After 3 days of being stood watching someone with very broken English, was then expected to make a full boat cover on my own and understand all diagrams which didn't even fit on the page given. I had the odd person come over and look over my shoulder but then would just get insulted saying I'm 'hard work' because I was struggling to get a material through the sewing machine. Because I was asking questions, people were getting annoyed with me and complaining to management. ( also members of staff lied saying they had taught me certain things when they hadn't at all). Then after being there one week I had my job threatened, and said if I didn't do better the next day il get the sack, baring in mind I had left my other job for this job and have a car and flat to pay for. Completed a whole side panel for a boat cover the next day and because a few stitches were out of line that was there reason to give me the sack. A lot of people working here are foreign, and they tend to speak to each other in there language which I also found quite intimidating if I'm honest. Do not recommend at all.. Well unless you are looking for a week of work.

I’m amazed by how much I like this work. As a person who didn’t have any experience with sewing industry I’ve been giving a chance to learn. I’m so happy I’ve decided to apply for this position as sewing seems to be something what I’m enjoying a lot. Every day you can learn something new, and you can see how fast your confidence is growing. Even if you do something wrong there is no punishment but support from coworkers an Menagement. Production Menager is always for you if you need her. You can feel her support and she knows how to motivate you when you struggling. MD is listening and helpful as well and he’s working as hard as rest of the team. Team is so lovely. Everyone is helpful and very nice. For this company it doesn’t matter how old you are, which nationality you’re (me), colour of your skin etc... there is always place for people who wants to learn and grow with company. This place makes me feel very good and working for this Company is a pleasure.

Can’t think about anything at this moment
