Great West Equipment Culture reviews

I love working for GWE and actually enjoy coming in to work Mon-Fri. I work with a fantastic group of people that feel like family. Even on stressful and busy days, there is still lots of laughter and comradery. It can be fast paced with some long hours (especially around month-end), but the fun atmosphere makes up for it. All branches are different, but I love my Nanaimo team.

Pros

Great atmosphere, competitive wages, good benefits, management cares about the well-being of staff

Great people, Poor management.

Journeyman Technician (Former Employee) - Fort St. John, BC - 24 April 2021

Great company with a lot of culture. HR is exclusive for executives, not the employees. Middle management is very poor quality, and lacks skill. Upper management very petty. Excessive swearing leading a poor work environment.Stress not worth salary.

Pros

Staff bbq’s increase moral and distract workers from poor managements

Cons

Long hours. Poor management. Hostile workplace.

Productive workplace, great atmosphere

Mechanic/Welder (Former Employee) - Kamloops, Canada - 6 July 2017

I loved going to work at great west, the team was great and I had the opportunity to learn from highly skilled professionals. They always kept us busy, while keeping a close watch on our needs as workers. No two jobs were identical so boredom was never an option, always growing and learning.

Pros

Great Pay

Family type of business, everyone works together. I learned a lot from both the mechanics and frontend staff, management was helpful on paperwork and giving work orders.
