Bureau Veritas Employee Review

Great coworkers, low pay

Sample Preparation Technician (Former Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 14 September 2023

I enjoyed the camaraderie working at BV. Coworkers were great. However management was terrible and the pay was extremely low, almost minimum wage. Every one of my coworkers had university degrees, so I'm not sure how they were surviving off these very low wages. A lot of them went back to school to try and get a better job somewhere else.

Sample Prep Technician (Former Employee) - Whitehorse, YT - 28 September 2023

The management sucked, the job sucked overall. Very dirty environment, no room for even the slightest amount of error. I had a week of severe bowel problems which I couldn't ignore, and management took that as taking too many "breaks". I would not be surprised if most of the current employees moved to the competitors.

Pros

Nothing

Cons

Terrible management

Bad management, overworking people to burnout

Sample Login Technician (Former Employee) - Québec City, QC - 28 April 2023

My coworkers were wonderful, that's the only positive (and the company is in no way responsible for that). I could see the cracks soon after I started working there.I was fired for asking for a raise/switching to another department. For a company that prides its ethics and integrity, firing an employee that asks for a raise, looks very bad.They have a culture of overworking their good employees while saving costs on pay and operating understaffed.I do not recommend you work there.

Low pay for educated workers

Laboratory Technician (Former Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 9 May 2019

I worked as a co-op student at the Winnipeg location. People who worked there were nice but the job in itself was pretty repetitive. They paid 13.00 an hour for co-op students then if they decided to hire you after your co-op was done, they would pay you the same rate on a contract. Or they would end your co-op then hire you after a few months. The job is not worth the pay, your training is minimal and you get blamed for things that you were not trained for.
