Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada will start advertising tomorrow to hire the first of 2,000 workers for its newest assembly plant in Woodstock, which begins production in 2008, said Adriaan Korstanje, assistant general manager external affairs for Toyota in Cambridge.

woohoo!!!!!:clap:

Trust me when I tell you this, you don't want to work at TMMC.You wouldn't believe the really sick way management treats it's employee's. Money isn't everything, get a career doing something you like. It's not worth it.

Great insightful 1st post. Care to elaborate?

Bring plants to California. Perferably around the Sacremento and or Berkeley area.

Just a TROLL... :lol:
Don't waste time with him Echo.. :lol:

^^^ True dat :lol: Frankly I was wishing he'd come here to elaborate on what he said. But whatever, I might apply there for a job once I graduate :)

First of all that may have been my first post under this name, but I've been here many times under another name so I'm hardly a troll. As for explaining what I said in my post I was just trying to save you the pain. Tmmc has very strong rules about showing the outside world what it's like . But if you want to spend a few years building a car every 54 seconds untill you're a cripple,then go right ahead buddy. Just don't expect to have life outside of work.

Don't get me wrong,Toyota still makes the best cars and trucks in the world. And I'm very greatfull for my job, most days it's all right, but it' just really hard to see some young 18 year old come into the plant and see him or her hurt because of the pace.

As if it's any different from assembling vehicles for other manufacturers? I'm not doubting you or anything, but to be honest the "cruelness" of these types of jobs isn't any surprise to me. In fact, most "assembly line" works are like that anyway. Working for Toyota doesn't mean it ain't gonna be hard work, and if anyone thinks otherwise then that person should definitely get his/her brain checked.
Earning money and having a life outside of work will always be a compromise. It's all about how the individual finds balance, am I correct? If someone is fed up with the job, he/she can simply quit and walk away, even when you need that money to eat and stay alive. There's no such thing as "easy money" in the real world, unless your lastname is "Hilton" and first name is "Paris" ;)

If you really worked at TMMC, you'd know differently. Perhaps you mistook your employer with the one down the road in Woodstock? You know...the one that used to push out Sidekicks? ;)

I had a friend visit the TMMC plant in Cambridge. He liked the way Toyota does build its cars and he has owns domestics. However he couldn't help but notice that the workers didn't seem entirely happy. Perhaps he went on a day where most of the workers were tired although I do hear about these once in a while.

I read an article I think it was either the globe or the star where even the higher ups were stressed or tired although proud of their work. IIRC the article said because TMMC builds Lexus that they also were trained to build like their counterparts in Japan. That said TMMC probably is a very good place for the workaholic. I haven't heard any of this sort of stuff from the domestic plants here nor the Honda plant at Alliston, although in the case of the domestic plants with plant closures I'd be surprised to hear this sort of thing from them.

We thought there was something going on with your MATRIX.... :sosad:

Just helped my dad apply. He's been out of work for the past couple months since his previous company laid him off... they were a supplier of seat foam, headliners, etc for Honda in Allison, Ontario, and in the past, Ford in Oakville.

The phrase about the workaholic sums up TMMC.....I work here cuz i wanna work...most people that end up here come here to loly gag and thats why work places go down hill.

And by workaholic I know cuz i do a min of 10Hr days and weekend support not to metion shift work that sometimes I come at 5pm and leave at 4am or 6am to 6pm.....I have to admit that this is somewhere that you come to work I love my job it affords my qulality of life and I have to thank TMMC/Toyota for that!

There is alot of people that love there jobs here and like any job there is managment issues but there is always a group of take everything for granted people that ruin a company image and tarnish the rest of the workforce....

Just my Two pennies!

Did I mention I love my job!

Sounds great that you like the company and the type of work you do. Not a great deal of people have both of those qualities.
