What is the best part of working at the company?
It depends, are you able to handle the stupidity of others? Can you handle not knowing when you work? Do you have patience for high-school drama and working with narcissistic individuals? 
If you answer yes then you will love working at Mackay Contracting. .

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The people and unstable work environment. The Favoritism and the lies to get you to stay. The foundation is very broken at Mackay Contracting. They will always put friends beforehand and use you when they need you. You won't have a solid career at Mackay Contracting ever. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Not everyone is horrible, there are a couple good solid people to work with, but the culture is miserable, hateful, backstabbing high-school drama. The woman are the worst to work with. It doesn't matter is you mind your own business or not, they will still somehow drag you into the drama they created for no reason. Mackay should have a psychologist on site 24/7

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Maybe work, maybe not, sit in a truck listening to someone  complain about the life they have for 12 hours. And repeat it every shift or try to cause trouble within the company talking h trash to the client about other staff and the company itself.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing to be honest maybe the pay 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The whole structure and system of operation of this company, I’ve worked 6 years in similar roles but this company is the worst at everything, zero safety culture no communication, supervisor with low iq and big ego, I am not even sure what criteria they are looking for someone to let supervise a highly safety sensitive project, if I was EVR I would have never considered a contractor like this , they have no orientation and no sense of direction causing safety issues which they end up blaming on EVR and their own employees. This company is Joke and I can’t even comprehend how in the world workers are able to tolerate this kind of nonsense.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
There is no work culture , no one knows anything about safety  especially the supervisors, they act like kids, I don’t think they understand the concept of management, they rely on luck for their safety, this is the most unsafe environment I worked in ,they will never fix  their own way of operating  rather fire and hire someone new to cover up any incidents.

Poorly managed. I Got told there would be work for a long period of time over the season and I would be moved up the ranks.
Got laid off right as 1 job finished, along with multiple other employees right before the probationary period was up.
They shut down other jobs to finish 1 job and sent most employees to the 1 site.
I was not very happy in my work space. The environment was unhealthy and not very respectful. And I got lied to. Would not recommend. The company culture was not proper. And they didn't seem to care about employees very much.

MacKay has a reputation as being unsafe which makes it hard to land contracts in a safety sensitive industry.  The wages are good but the fly by the seat of your pants way they do things in this industry makes for a high risk atmosphere to say the least.  They don't drug test and everyone knows that so you work with some real characters in a place that is already risky as it is.  Wages are good but really MacKay is a launching pad for better opportunities elsewhere to be honest
