Alberta Glass

It was a great place to work back in 2008-2010. Then one of the owners was bought out of the company and it all went downhill from there. They lost about 100 employees in a year and the office turn around was terrible. The owner micro manages everything way too much and there are at least 2 or 3 managers per department and some departments only have 2-3 employees.

Since there are SOOO many managers the communication between departments and field techs is the worst i've ever encountered and there are way too many office staff in ratio to feild techs.

They lost most of their service clients and i would not be suprised if the service department soon becomes obsolete.

The compensation used to be good until they stopped given raises and bonuses and had a company wide wage reduction. But the benefits are the best i've ever seen.

I would strongly suggest not wasting your time with this company as you will be quite disappointed.

Dealt more with Calgary management while working in Edmonton which were very good. Edmonton manager didn’t interact too much with me/jobs that I was on so I wasn’t surprised that I was let go first when they got slow.  Most installers were good to work with there. Overall was a good place to work at but know that when things get slow they will keep their core group of workers and let go of the rest. 

Overall Alberta Glass was a great place to work unfortunately my direct manager of the Edmonton Branch. Felt threatened by my knowledge and expertise. This man who had come from the vinyl window world knew nothing about the aluminum curtain wall industry. His poor management of the Edmonton branch was clear from the beginning. After missing low on many estimates and getting awarded the contracts he undermined me to protect his own job. 

Was employed with Alberta Glass for just under a year. Most of the personnel working there have good attitude. The majority of my foreman were knowledgeable and had a good teaching attitude for new employees. 
I learned a lot about the trade and enjoyed working with many of the people employed there. 
If you have a good attitude and a good work ethic, you will do fine.

Great place to work, recognized the employer in every accomplishement, salary increase, bonuses, good benefits, lots of oppotunity, provide lots of training, very supportive employer.




Enjoyed most of my time here with odd exceptions.  Learning and improvement is encouraged by some.  Ownership puts safety first

this was a great place to work I worked here while I was laid off from cn the guys you work with are outgoing and willing to train they supply you with everything you need for your job. If i could i would definitely go back

Alberta glass is a good company, just didn't have enough work in the north to keep all staff working. T o bad I liked working there.
Maybe they will get more work in the north to be able to keep the good staff.

This company supports fat management and lazy foremen willing to destroy and flip flop good glaziers for minimal gains. Calgary branch is filled with adolescents with poor hygiene.
