Don’t even know where to begin. This place will eat you up and spit you out. Loyalty is a meaningless word to them. Management is absolutely clueless when it comes to industry and the employees on the floor and in the office. They fire loyal employees at the drop of a hat. The culture here is an absolute embarrassment. Don’t ever expect a raise, or expect them to ever care about you as a person. Management is running this place into the ground and it’s only a matter of time before this place is either sold or shut down for good. 

There are a lot of great people on the floor, but that only gets you so far. This place is cancerous, it sucks the life out of you and you won’t even realize that all of a sudden it’s been 2 years and you’ve been miserable for the entire time. 

Please don’t even bother applying here, it’s not worth any amount of money they are willing to offer. I would not recommend any AdvanTec company to anyone I cared about.

If you’re looking to start your career, there’s really no place better than AFS. You’ll meet everyone you’re going to need to know no matter what job you end up taking. If you’re personable, hard working, and actually make an effort to get to know people, working here can be the gateway to whatever career path you have mapped out for yourself.
Take it from me, this is a very lucrative company to work for if you want to get your foot in the door in construction. You have the opportunity to not only network with many of your peers (get their advice, learn from them, etc.) but also the types of clients who would be interested in hiring you on for future projects if you eventually want to go solo. This industry is all about WOM, so you need to get your start somewhere, and you could do a lot worse than AFS.

Cold, dirty, thankless work enviroment.  No job security.  Immature leadership, power mongering.  All the best employees move on quickly.

Possibly a good place to get some interesting experience but few stick around or you are laid off NOT based on your pro attitude, hard work or intelligence.  Scammers and manipulators succeed while hard work goes unrecognized.

Awesome CEO/owner with a great vision but he is not connected with what is going on.

You will be handed a full plate in the office with little training, if you can learn fast and  work well under pressure, it's a good place for experience. There is not a lot of mid-level management or mentorship, so you will need to figure things out from others or by trial and error. It's a good place to keep busy and problem solve daily. Always new ideas and projects coming in, which makes for interesting days.

Horrible management. Inconsistent at best of times.  Manager has no clue. Decisions are made without thinking ahead which is why everything is done two or three times instead of once.  Keeping your job is not about skill or performance. Very frustrating and time wasting environment. Management makes decision without consulting with foremen or HR. They simply want to to hear yes. Good people on the floor though. Just watch your back

Overall, this is a great company to work for. Their training program for new hires is very in-depth. They go over everything you need to know – not only in the company, but also the industry in general. Your ability to network with important industry connections is unmatched and your coworkers are a great source of knowledge and advice. 
I honestly would never have left if I could have been guaranteed a promotion sooner.

Advanced Flow Systems is a great place to work. The safety culture is number 1  with good Management backing it. The company is willing to send Employees out for Training to learn new skills and improve your knowledge background. Management is approachable, knowledgeable and easy to talk to and takes on challenging projects which keeps you engaged and thinking. Overall a great Place to work.

counting and labeling flanges and pipe, finding out trucks are arriving as they arrive, management and supervisors ignoring standards to get work done quickly, lots of awesome people on the floor to work with. management is out of touch with workers and industry in general. made some great new friends

A lot of BS on the shop floor no one seems to take their job seriously and the drawings are always wrong the management is really hot and cold very poor communication good wage for Chilliwack but you’d be better off driving into the city
