Flynn Group of Companies Employee Reviews for Roofer

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

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.

Good company to work for

Roofer (Former Employee) - Saskatoon, SK - 24 October 2019

I enjoyed working for them. They treat their employees very good, but it is also a very physically demanding job. They have a great benefit program, and pay their employees fairly.

Fun place to work. Tough to accept salary offered

Roofer/Estimator (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 26 August 2019

Excellent benefits, work culture and people in general. A lot of politics, and management taking credit for hard work. Salaries offered are way below average.

Very poor management

Roofer (Current Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 3 April 2018

Do not recommend this company to any Canadian citizens you are treated second class. Been there for 6 months and have sat for more than 2 weeks wondering if there is any work with no temporary lay off. In addition the workmanship is the worst I have ever seen in all my years of roofing. Would not recommend this company to do anything for the roofing aspect on any building

Pros

None

Cons

Not enough space

Poor management

Flat Roofer (Former Employee) - Dartmouth, NS - 26 March 2018

Poor management, office tends to not return phone calls, the workplace is great and the Forman’s are great to work for, all in all they could really use better management.

Cons

Long hours

Great place to work if you like being laid off.

Flat Roofer (Current Employee) - Hamilton, ON - 17 June 2016

Great place to work, if you don't mind being laid off in the summer for months at a time, because apparently there are no jobs. For such a big company, it makes no sense that they have no jobs for the summer. Basically if you have senority you get the vip treatment. New employee's get laid off. So if you have a family to support, I wouldn't recommend working here. When you are working they do take care of you. Great group of people to work with. Excellent benefit package, great wages.

Pros

great wages, benefits.

Cons

laid off during peak season.

Not really fun place to work in service

Roofer (Former Employee) - Saskatoon, SK - 1 March 2016

this place was okay at first but there were not enough hours in service so it was hard to get by. A company that caused the death of a young girl was quite disturbing.

Pros

nice staff

Cons

not enough hours

Good place to work

Roofer Leak Specialist (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 2 December 2013

-Good place to work, although work depends on weather conditions. -One has to be able to work in extreme conditions both hot and cold. -Must be able to work at extreme heights. -Company does put you into training courses. -Hard to budget as work is up and down.
