Stressful place to work
Office Administrator & Safety Coordinator (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 8 October 2020
When I noticed safety violations in the shop yard, and mentioned them to head office, I was let go a week later for being honest. There was a lot of favouritism that went on in the office with certain project managers and people getting away with things that others were punished for doing

Used to be a great place to work
Field/Shop/PM Service Coordinator (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 25 March 2020
Service manager likes to run his dept. with fear and intimidation. He tends to tell the employee one story and his senior management a different story. He is very narcissistic and not to be trusted.
