Old boys club

Estimator (Current Employee) - Toronto, ON - 7 October 2022

The directors have shares in the company. If you are not in this exclusive club you are a nobody. Stay on their good side, accept their ideas and ways of doing things, and you will be able to work here.

Pros

Average compensation

Cons

Culture of fear, long hours

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

Supportive and upbeat environment

Estimator (Former Employee) - Regina, SK - 13 February 2020

I had a great few years working for Flynn. My coworkers were great, management was never an issue, work/life balance was solid. Lots of (paid) training opportunities and potential for advancement. Overall good experience, would recommend.
