Horrible experience working at Pinchin

Emotionally unhealthy environment
Great workplace culture at head office

Confused Managemenet
Senior Project Technologist (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 20 September 2017
too many changes in Building Science department all because of lack of communication and competency of higher management. People are taken for granted and can't find a way to advance in their careers.
The quality of work is good, but its not busy, so job security is weak.

Hated local management
Project Technologist in Hazardous Materials (Former Employee) – Sarnia, ON – 26 March 2013
I enjoyed working for this company however I had issues with my own safety and management. I had the right to refuse work and I did due to the circumstances and was written up. Husband and wife managers which tag teamed you if in the wrong.
The work involved inspecting contractors in asbestos / mold removal and taking air samples and analyzing them.
Travel
Pay out your pocket expenses and then reimbursed which was a pain
Taking samples from locations and having them analyzed.
Lots of report writing
Co-workers were great, local management was poor, working away from home under another manager was great and enjoyable.
