Parts Coordinator (Former Employee) - 16929 107 Ave, NW, Edmonton AB - 5 July 2022

For Reference: I was the parts-coordinator at the west location, and mirror matcher at the south.Honestly, this is probably one of the worst companies I've ever worked for in trades. The position pays significantly under industry standards, boasts you being "Salary" but doesn't give you any of the perks of being salaried, and convinces you to not file lost time claims because they'll pay you, (since you were injured due to a safety hazard) and then docks your pay anyways and makes excuses. They require you to be highly skilled at the job, but then tell you it has "no requirements" so they don't pay to industry standard. As a Parts Coordinator, you are in charge of all of the invoicing, inventory management, tracking, month end, credits (which you have targets to make every month) but they consider this entry level, and not a management position. It's overall the worst body shop I've ever worked at and will warn everyone about them.

Pros

Cheap Parts

Cons

No Overtime, Stressful, Terrible Management

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.

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

Lots to learn in short period of time. Get ready for long hours and cold or hot weather conditions, and Hard manual labor. If your new to the auto body trade I would defiantly recommend this place under the pretense that you're gonna work hard and are prepared for anything

Pros

1 Hour Lunches

Cons

8 hours, Strict, younger people are not taken seriously

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.
