Fort Mckay Group of Companies LP Employee Reviews

Pretty good place to work if you just want a job to make a living. So long as you get your work done properly and safely, they'll generally leave you alone.

Pros

Well managed

Heavy Equipment Operator (Former Employee) - Fort McMurray, AB - 14 March 2020

Enjoyed being employed with them, unfortunately the economy dictated the cost of living shortfall to stay employed with them for the difference in accomodation costs.

Poor place to work

Fuel and lube technician (Former Employee) - For - 29 February 2020

Poor management, lots of drama, and no job security! It’s a native owned company but the native people get treated poorly there! My opinion if it’s a native company there should be native management! The moment others find out your tax free they will try get rid of you any way they can!!
Native Owned but not native ran if your First Nations you will get treated poorly

Haul Truck Operator (Former Employee) - Fort McMurray, AB - 23 February 2020

Will never stand behind an employee , too scared to ruffle a feather won’t give raises even after 8 years only hot women will get a raise unless they have female boss. Get treated like garbage high turnover which is why they should take care of loyal ones but don’t take take take never give!!! Got one hat in 8 years and it was pink and camo stupid looking all the office staff keeps the real workers rewards joke the few that have lasted have not gotten raises company

Great place towirk

Heavy Equipment Operator (Former Employee) - Fort McMurray, AB - 15 August 2019

Great company to work for. I’ve worked for them on three different occasions. Would have stayed the last time but the client changed the work schedule on our job.

Pros

Great management, safety as well as mentors to help you through the jobs.

Cons

Terrible if you love your wife. In order to qualify for overtime, had to sign up for three of your six days off. Leaves no time for family. Sad really.
