Life building skills for the construction industry
Geological Technician (Former Employee) – London, ON – 17 December 2017
Easily able to build up your confidence about being on construction site. Easy transition to get used to going on a site and being able to fit into such a busy environment.
Pros
Introduction to Owners of large companies around the city
Cons
Short hour weeks during the winter
Get in with the”IN” crowd or you will be out!
Anonymous support role (Former Employee) – Markham, ON – 29 August 2018
Toxic environment. Very cliquish. No room to advance unless you become a favorite of senior management. Some staff (peers) are good people but are unhappy. Poor management and unorganized. Senior management talks behind your back to not only other senior management but also your peers. Very unprofessional. Watch your back and learn to “kiss up” to the right people. Becoming friends with anyone senior management doesn’t like will make you a target. Was overall a very negative and disheartening experience.
Pros
Christmas break using your vacation time
Cons
Took away civic holiday in August. Minimal or no raises, minimal or no bonus
Horrible place to work
Anonymous (Former Employee) – Anonymous – 30 November 2017
Worst place I have ever worked. No team environment, expected to produce gold when given garbage, managers ask you to work at home for free and take vacation time to accommodate their schedule (not kidding). Employee achievements are not recognized or respected, even when they spend sleepless weekends trying to figure a project out. Budgets are not reasonable. Even the simplest requests for assistance are met with patronizing refusals. These issues may have been exclusive to my department, but I can only review from my experience. Avoid at all costs.
Pros
Decent salary and benefits, some good people
Cons
Everything else
Fun place to be, friendly service
Labourer (Current Employee) – London, ON – 31 October 2017
Express has been friendly, and professional since day one. They provide the best job opportunities and do what they can to find work that fits your need.
Pros
Consistent schedule
Technical Engineering Company
Project Coordinator in Transportation (Current Employee) – Montréal, QC – 3 June 2017
EXP is a very technical company that focuses on the core engineering aspects, and not as much on the management side. You can gain a lot of technical experience, but there is not a lot of room for growth within the company, unless you are planning on staying there for the next 10 years.
Terrible place disappointed
Engineer (Current Employee) – Montréal, QC – 26 April 2017
Much directors in same discipline, work very hard and never you rewarding. Bonus giving only for managers. few managers, few which are decades in exp have rules, low moral and conflict of interest and discrimination, use power to intimidation. culture bizarre. promotion go for relatives and friends in first. management is very poor, chaotic, anarchic, not professional. It is only minority have good expertise and exploited, expert leave and went work with other companies. negotiate salary because increase for salary not existing in exp. it is stressful, bad for engineer which want learned.
Pros
nothing
Cons
Toxic environment, favouritism, discrimination and not care about effort of the peoples
Worst work place with too many managers in Montreal
Engineer (Current Employee) – Montréal, QC – 7 April 2017
I am working for less than 2 years. Too many managers and leaders for same job and they have not technical expertise. you do all work but others have the merit of your work. Few managers are immoral. Employees generally are borrowed for different client and it is very stressful because you have not training. I have not learned a lot because there is not help so if you want to learn you bring your technical books and work very hard.
Management is very poor
The culture: lot of favoritism, anarchy
The enjoyable part of the job is some colleagues are nice and hours of work are flexible

Terrible place to work
Civil Engineering Technician (Former Employee) – Thunder Bay, ON – 14 August 2016
