They are a good place to start
Service Administrator (Former Employee) - Southern Ontario - 19 January 2021
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedThat is about it. They dont pay well and they only tend to promote in head office. So much drama. Men are way worse than women, let me tell you. Stick to yourself and work. Dont make friends. If you do, awesome, but trust noone. Enjoy :)
Pros
Free lunches
Cons
No raises

Unorganized, unfulilling and uncaring.
Employee (Former Employee) - Vancouver, BC - 19 October 2021
Company prides itself in family but you're treated far from. Management likes to play the blame game. Very unprofessional and will talk about everyone behind their back. Threatens you if you don't do OT that you'll be fired and there are stacks of resumes of people to take your place. Moral is extremely low. Clear divide between employees, and hard to fit in. Watch your back as there are many tattle tales.
Pros
Sometimes get free lunch
Cons
Always being watched, managment lies and uses threats. Low morale. Washroom breaks are watched. Little to no organization

Good people to work with
Prefer not to say (Current Employee) - Mississauga, ON - 28 June 2021
Management does not appreciate employees, when you report problems on the floor, they do nothing to rectify situations. Management createssituations on the floor by pitting employees against each other.High turn overCompany will take advantage of you, if you let them. They will put excessive amounts of work on you instead of hiring more people. The chosen people can walk around doing very little, while you pick up their slack.
Pros
None.
Cons
Favoritism

Some great people work here. Management team are very unorganized and unfair
Administrator (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 24 June 2021
The management team of Flynn Edmonton are very unorganized and it is a very cut throat enviroment to work in. Very stressful place. Management team belittles you to make themselves look better to upper management. They promise you lots of raises and never follow through. High turn over rate in most departments. Edmonton branch poorly run. Other branches are run better.
Pros
Good hours
Cons
They hire managers who dont care about their staff.

So far so good
Journeyman Roofer (Current Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 22 September 2020
Waited a year to post this, cause usually by now I left the company because of terrible management, bad culture, etc… what a difference it makes working for the big boys. No rookie initiation, no yelling, and best of all steady hours and benefits. My wife is happy 😊 Thank you Flynn.
Pros
Not the usual roofing culture
Cons
I'm probably biased cause of where I worked before, but no complaint.

Jobs at Flynn Group of Companies
I worked for Flynn roofing
Journeyman- Roofer (Former Employee) - Toronto,Kitchener,London Ontario - 17 September 2020
Great company to work for. Really took care of me as a roofer right up to the point where a new service manager pushed me to transfer to another branch because he wanted a couple of his buddies working under him. I transferred to another branch but travel became an issue after a couple years ,then mom took sick and had to go to no to care for her., but was an excellent employee and foreman for the company and really loved my job
Pros
Benefits
Cons
Winter layoffs

Flynn as a whole is a good place to work
Fleet Coordinator (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 15 September 2020
Flynn as a whole is a good place to work, however, the Edmonton branch is full of favouritism. If you are very close to the Branch Manager you can have whatever job you want even if that means that he gets rid of the person, who's job you want, even though you have years of experience and the person who takes the job has NONE. In the last few years the atmosphere has become toxic and everyone walks on eggshells because there are people there that are very unethical.
Pros
training is there if you want it, good pay, good vacation and benefits
Cons
unethical upper management and some employees, favouritism, no communication

Terrible place to work
Service Estimator (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 22 August 2020
There is an elite group of people at this company that are liked by upper management regardless of their experience or qualifications.You can work as hard as you like for this company but unless you are one of the chosen ones you will never be given a chance to progress unless you are one of the favored ones? I know what I am talking about as I spent 15 years there and saw many idiots promoted ahead of me just because they were favored from above? There are some really nice people there but sadly they will always be overlooked for idiots that they like from above? Could have been a really elite company if they had promoted the right people instead of the brown nosed brigade.
Pros
Free lunches
Cons
Expected long hours

Sheet Metal Worker (Current Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 27 May 2020
Flynn Canada is a very fast paced work environment. Good company with good benefits and competitive wages .
The management could be better.
Lack of communication between office and field workers.

Could be a great place to work, communication is a problem in the roofing department
Roofing Superintendent (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 21 May 2020
Communication from mid management is conflicting and delivered with a sledge hammer. Disconnect between management and working crews. I am speaking for the roofing department only as there are lots of great individuals that work there.

Amazing office experience but horrible if you work in any other field (Siding)
Sheet Metal Worker (Former Employee) - Mississauga, ON - 29 April 2020
Management stopped caring and started hiring and giving promotions to friends and family and not by experience. This ultimately ruined an amazing work experience with a company that was showing so much growth both financially and work-wise. The most enjoyable part of the job was the everyday interactions with some people and the willingness to teach from some veteran workers. The hardest part of the job is dealing with people with little to no experience that think they know more than the employees that have been in the field for 30+ years.

Nothing at the moment
Roofer/Labourer (Former Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 27 April 2020
I've carried out my skills at a different company. I should've had a foreman position if I was still with them but lacking on my end I had to be let go, just to see what I had to do to improve myself in this work fields.
Thank you
