ACTIVE MECHANICAL

Worked here on and off for a couple years doing menial office tasks, the staff in the office  are all genuinely nice people, management is always fair when you are someone who gets their work done, asks for clarification, and just generally tries to do their job. During busier times the job can be a little fast paced and stressful causing tension with management but majority of the time there's no issues and the 8 hours a day goes by quickly, the owner can be harsh spoken at times when he is stressed or something puts him in a mood, and can take a disliking to you if you are an argumentative person and he finds you aren't fulfilling your duties, but he is typically fair and is known to go above and beyond for employees when they need help whether that be financially or with time off. If you leave on good terms he is known to give great recommendations, and isn't put off rehiring someone who has left for another opportunity and returns seeking employment. The office has 3 bathrooms, a kitchen with coffee makers, a kettle, microwaves, fridges and a toaster, the building is kept cleanly and everyone gets their own space to work. Opportunities to advance but only if you actively seek them, company is always willing to support you if you wish to seek out more trainings in order to grow in ability and is often willing to help cover some or all of the cost of them depending on how much the training pertains to the tasks you are employed to fulfill. Genuinely enjoy my days at work here.

Active is a fast-pace work environment that can be stressful at times but that's what comes with any job that deals with projects as big as they do.This is not a place for unmotivated people who tend to slack off as people need things done on time and rely on you in order to complete their task especially in the office. COVID-19 has really affected the dynamic of the workplace as only essential work is permitted with limited amount of workers on job sites. The people that work in the office are nice, management will respect you if you can prove you are good at your job and know what you're doing. Depending what position you apply for, constructing, plumbing and other trade knowledge/experience is a must if you want to be successful here, the job is a lot harder if you don't. 

A lot of projects to work with at different stages, from openings to closing, a variety of clients with different expectations and work methods. The management is there for you,, but please don't hesitate to speak up if you need help. I witnessed a lot of continuous improvement in the way the company is managed over the last 5 years. 

Initial start was great, kept me working, etc. As an apprentice, management treated you indifferently unless you somehow knew management. Nepotismic as most union small contractors. Favoritism and mental abuse is a part of the culture. Lot of collateral damage with internal politics 
However I was paid fairly and management never short changed me.

The technicians stick together which makes for a great brotherhood. everyones always willing to help each other. You can really learn a lot because they have been around for a while and really seem to know the business. They are very interested in getting more business for the plumbers and they are not afraid to spend money on advertising.

A typical day at work was usually busy, with a lot of tasks and work to do, which made the days go buy fast.
I personally come from a High Rise Construction background, working in the Commercial sector with this company was a new and great experience seeing older piping systems.

Overall decent place to work. Stepping stone for most people. Management is terrible, not technical nor understanding. Union workers are entitled and lazy. Regular staff are good hard working folks. Generally would not recommend to anyone unless no other option.

It drains the energy out of you working there because it’s not a nice environment. Broken and old furniture, they don’t offer their employees snacks or a nice break room at all. There’s a weird smell in the whole place. People seem nice at first but they are snitches. 

Stay far far away from this company do not even think about it . if you like to get yelled at this job is for you. extremely stress level . Big Micro Manage like I have never seen before do not do it its not worth it at all. 

Work in flood in emergency situation. So how to mange the situation and arrange crew on time and material basis is good experience.
