Lots of beers after work.
Prepper/Painter (Former Employee) - 6804 75 Street NW, Edmonton, AB T6E 5A9 - 7 March 2022
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedHigh expectations quick turnover little chance to move up in the company. Poor quality repairs were often passed onto the customers. Cars are repaired in an assembly line sort of system little care was given for hidden damage. Body techs often dumped more work onto the preppers. Paint and primer usage is recorded and evaluated constantly for cost saving purposes.
Pros
Free lunch sometimes, training & updating.

Fast paced business casual enviroment
Customer Service Specialist / Receptionist (Current Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 24 June 2020
I have very much enjoyed working for Herbers. it offered a relaxed enviroment with fast paced work through the busy winter months. Your days fly by most of the time. My co-workers were all great to work with and the management style is wonderful. She is hard working and professional, but still friendly and relatable.

Good place. Poor management

The body shop people were very young in age and socially with exception to 1or2 people
Detailer / shop cleaner (Former Employee) - Grande Prairie, AB - 4 May 2020
Nobody gave praise for a job well done. Asked to do jobs out of sequence. For instance cleaning a truck only to find out it had to go to kal tire. Then having to wash it again when it came back. I sometimes washed the same truck 2 to 3 times.

Average
Autobody apprentice (Current Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 10 September 2019
Looking for somewhere that pays flat rate. They do not pay us properly here and it’s not paying the bills. Decent management but poor work quality for the employees for the most part

Hard on the employee
Painter (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 4 July 2019
Employee rotation is high due to lack of respect and no flat rate pay structure for the refinish side. Sick days are not respected. Management is too concerned about their own bonuses and not the employee.
Cons
No human relations.

Good place to work
Detail (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 12 September 2018
Everyone seems to be very friendly and welcoming. I was able to learn how a bodyshop operates. I would recommend this place to anybody looking to get into this trade.

Nice people to work with but
Detailer (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 2 April 2018
No job/life balance. Takes forever to advance if you ever even do. Management was biased about who got promoted and hired new people above wages of people there a long time with zero experience.
Pros
Good benefits
Cons
Long hours would not let you take breaks and low pay
