I was honest pay for honest work
Operator/Labourer (Former Employee) – Fort McMurray, AB – 1 April 2019
Very relax and friendly work environment. Easy to talk to management and they are always willing to listen to any problems you have. Safety is there number one priority.
Pros
Bus transportation
Cons
No Loa
Not a healthy environment to work in.
Hourly worker (Former Employee) – Fort McMurray, AB – 18 April 2019
Not one of the better places in the industry. You need to be part of a cleuqe or you won’t survive. Management from top to bottom plays favourites and overlooks serious issues depending on who you are or who your friends with. Not the kinda place you can bring up serious issues for fear of being run off the site. Supervisors will lie to your face and not even do a good job at it. Even be proud of it because they know they can get a way with it They will find ways to get rid of you for caring and taking the job seriously if your not part of the special circle. Safety is often overlooked at the cost of friends and who you know
Pros
Money is decent. A lot of good people working there.shifts are great so is the camp environment
Cons
Management and supervisors
Malicious behavior from the crew, causing anxiety, cruelty, harsh and faulty equipment
Heavy Equipment Operator/Truck Driver (Former Employee) – Fort McKay Group Fort McMurray area – 3 March 2019
Fort McKay group, have bullies and weasel people working there, lots of favoritism and malicious behavior. Equipment is malfunctioning it not safe. I have learned from this company not to trust nobody not even the Foreman's
Used to be great
Team Lead (Current Employee) – Fort McMurray, AB – 11 February 2019
Fort McKay alone has been a great organization to work for. Unfortunately our contract got renegotiated and for this particular site we all took a very large pay cut. The supervisors and account manager we had were by far the greatest people I've ever worked for. It is sad that we will all disperse now.
Pros
Family oriented, great safety culture
Cons
It's still a contractor, anything can happen at any time.
Great company

Lot's to learn, variety of areas to work in.
Multiple shifts to suit home life.

New crew placement makes going to work a lot better
Operator Heavy Hauler (Current Employee) – Fort McMurray, AB – 15 August 2018
More time should be spent with training the drivers on the computers within the trucks. There is a tendency to have drivers with bad habits training new drivers.
Very easy and calm place to work.

Fort McKay is a great company to work for. Very reliable work. Great people to work for. They are organized and they pay very well. The training department is also very good.
Good Pay
General Labourer (Current Employee) – Fort McMurray, AB – 15 March 2018
This is a good job if you are starting out. Moving up within the company is difficult but with the right attitude not impossible. Management does not micromanage which is nice and they trust their employees to be doing the job they are hired for.
Productive and hard working company
Topps Dredging Crew (Former Employee) – Fort McMurray, AB – 27 February 2018
Experienced, knowledge company that teaches the skills and development to grow
A typical day consisted of waking early, getting on bus with crew to job site, morning meeting on safety and procedures, preparing your tools for the day.
