Most of the work was concrete testing at construction sites, however the field technicians were sometimes asked to assist the environmental side with drilling, soil sample and well development. The managers were understanding and fair. The hardest part were the early morning concrete sites, and the most enjoyable parts soil and water testing.
Management are fair and reasonable. The work is challenging and loaded with collaboration with other EXP staff as well as clients and approving authorities. The culture is one of a family atmosphere with everyone trying to help you learn and do good quality work so you can get more good work to do. The hardest part of the job is when there is a work deadline. Everyone kicks into high gear and works extra hard to get the work done knowing that when work gets light your job isn't in jeopardy. The senior people are fun and knowledgeable and they tend to hire people like themselves.
Pros
Management and commitment to high quality
Cons
Can get hectic around deadlines
l'équipe est enjouée et ouverte aux nouveaux visages. cette entreprise est très ouverte et l'entraide est une de leur très grande valeur.
Bonne entreprise. Gestionnaire compétent et organisé. Beaucoup de procedure
l"entreprise est bonne pour les débutant mais la progression est tres lente
It is good company but there is up and down for volume of works.
Worked there briefly. During 1st week at job, I realized that this is no place to advance career and started to look for other opportunities. Most of the projects were under $5k with pressure not to charge any time to them. Most of the people were not courteous and jealous of my position. Discipline Manager was extremely rude and humiliation of employees was common, resulting in low morale and substandard work on projects. Career growth opportunities are very limited
I am glad I didn’t have to work there for long.
Cons
Rude Manager, jealous work environment

Is Indeed your favorite place to learn about companies?
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
Pros
hours flexible
Cons
very low salary and increase, many managers, favoritism and lot stress

DID my 2 co-op terms at Exp. great company to work for. learned a lot about project management and coordination. had a chance to learn about specification writing and understanding AREMA code.
After being in college for a grueling 3 years, you expect more professionalism than what is shown at exp, just like most, but not all companies, it's all about saving a dollar. Don't waste your time working for this company.
Pros
Its a temporary job
Cons
Worst job for a civil tech.
Exponential growth at company. I worked on a new subdivision servicing in Guelph. Commuted to the project. I worked from beginning of project to the end. Attended meetings.
Pros
full benefits
Cons
projects far away from Toronto
Did not like working here. Too many managers walking around with blinders. HR issues. Low pay. Low morale. Clickish. This office was the very odd ball one. Should be able to go to work and work without worrying about drama
Pros
Branding looks nice
Cons
Didn't care about staff
