EPCOR Employee Review

Good Salary, Benefits and Training But Management Not Very Responsive to Employees

Project Engineer (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 25 October 2022

EPCOR is a decent place to work with good salaries, benefits and training opportunities. The work was interesting and rewarding. Lots of rigid policies and procedures, frequent reporting. They have a very hierarchical management structure and do not solicit much employee input. They just implement things from the top down. Safety is important, but so many policies are being driven by over the top excessive "safety" requirements.

Pros

Good salary and benefits

Cons

Rigid policies with little employee input

Memorable. They expect a lot but you are also rewarded and recognized for your hard work.

What is the best part of working at the company?They are genuinely concerned with employee health and safety as it is taken very seriously. They also promote employee engagement, they will help you move toward whatever career ambitions you have, great pay and excellent benefits. The only downside side I feel is sometimes you can feel expendable (a small guy working in a large corporation). I worked for the company for 3 years trying to get on permanent full time but they had other plans at the local worksite first before filling permanent. I had to eventually moved on so I could support my family.What is the most stressful part about working at the company?Epcor pays well and provides excellent benefits but they also set high expectations of their employees. They set the bar high but you are rewarded for your hard work.What is the work environment and culture like at the company?They foster a team environment with heavy emphasis on health and safety, and employee production. You are held accountable for your mistakes.What is a typical day like for you at the company?Show up for work in a secure area (don't forget your employee work badge so you can scan in!), work hard, they provide coffee machines and a clean, safe workplace. They provide a lot for emoyees but also expect at lot from you. Sometimes you miss breaks on those busy days.

this is not a good company

overpaid upper management ignore the mayhem that exists in the lower ranks. mid level management don't work very hard and their arrogance coupled with incompetence is a bad mix. I would not recommend this company unless you are lazy.
