Badly managed company with dangerous working conditions
Field Operator (Former Employee) - Aurora, ON - 15 September 2019
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by Indeed- Dangerous working conditions, related to helicopters and long drives. You can never be 100% sure that an engineer didn't drop a screw to the helicopter engine (this happened twice in a short period of time), and that you will not have to land in the middle of nowhere or worse just crash.
- Pay is below the industry standards and no overtime pay. And even after that they will try their best not pay you what they are supposed to be paying according to the Canadian Employment Laws.
- The work-life balance is the worst I've ever seen. 16 or 18 hour working days are not unusual. You can spend 8 weeks in the field and after getting home and being there for just 3 days office can call you asking to return back to work.
- Old equipment and no enough people to do proper maintenance. Almost every system has some problems and you will have to fix these problems in the field without proper manuals and with almost no support.
- Micromanagement everywhere
- Poorly planned projects and bad logistics. This will mean that you will have to drive with fuel and to fuel the helicopter and work very long hours every day
- Zero corporate culture
- No any safety training or any training at all
- Only in this company you can be offered "a promotion" with the decrease in your salary
If you want to stay alive and well stay away from this company
Pros
Traveling to some interesting places like Canadian Arctic, Free time on weather days when you can study or look for another job
