Maintenance Technician (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 1 February 2023
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedDecent place to work. Enjoyed the job and the people I worked with. Lots of turnover in management and changes each time made it no longer desirable to work there.

Productivity and safety is very implemented in all aspects of job
Power Engineer (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 11 November 2022
The management is efficient and safety is the priority. They always perform meetings to ensure that job is done with good knowledge and safety. Prejob hazard assessment is first thing to do before any job. Workers are treated with respect and honesty. Efforts are made to safety customers during any intervention.
Cons

Terrible Place to work
Utility Worker (Former Employee) - Dartmouth, NS - 8 November 2022
This place is awful to work for. Management have no idea what they are doing. Other unionized employees treat you like dirt. While calling you absurd names while at work. This place is for uneducated individuals with no brain
Pros
SOme workers
Cons
Idiot workers

Jobs at Black & McDonald Limited
Challenging just like any HVAC job
HVAC Technician (Current Employee) - London, ON - 29 September 2022
Black and McDonald is by far the best company I have ever worked for. To be more specific Black and McDonalds London branch. The management and technicians make this place far superior than anything I've ever encountered. It's hard to judge what any of the other branches are like but this one really does have its s*** together.

Stressful job and less wages
HVAC technician/operating engineer (Current Employee) - Whitby, ON - 22 September 2022
All other companies are paying $40/h plus benefits even Sobeys. But I don’t know why this company is not realistic about the inflation and situation in the industry about the demand of Ammonia refrigeration staff. This is very stressful job. We should be paid a stress allowance on top of $40/h.

Good place to learn, not so great for advancing.
Coordinator (Current Employee) - Alberta - 9 September 2022
Lack of communications amongst upper management teams, there are always arguments as to who is the better manager. Great place to start, but do not stay too long.

More than just an Intern
Intern (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 29 August 2022
This paid internship wasn't just small tasks to help the company. It gave me the opportunity to work on large projects that will have a big impact on the company. The internship program was structured so interns are supported and learn skills that can listed easily on a resume. The programs ultimate goal is to promote development and make interns strong candidates for future opportunities.
