Aquatech Dewatering Company, Inc.

1) wages simply aren't competitive. they will low-ball you to start, and are stingy with raises. you have to fight and push and beg for raises, and then management will hold them against you if you ever get them. The company has greatly grown their business, but didn't pass anything down to the workers. gave no raises despite company growth of business, and inflation/cost of living being so high.

2) Toxic culture. If you don't put in extra hours for free, they'll call you a "clock-watcher" and say you aren't doing enough. Lots of trash-talk and complaining about people behind their backs, especially whether they are "pulling their weight". They'll expect you to skip your lunch break or stay late to "get the job done". employee morale is in the gutter and overall atmosphere is negative.

3) little to no job progression. Very rarely saw anyone get a promotion or significant raise.

4) very little appreciation or praise. management/supervisors are quick to chastise/criticize/micro-manage, but never show any appreciation or praise for a job well done. like to 'crack the whip' on the workers. lots of complaining that "nobody knows how to do their job" or "nobody wants to work anymore".

only good thing about the workplace I can think of is that they ARE pretty open to hiring inexperienced people and young people willing to learn, and frequently hire inexperienced people and give them training. Unfortunately, the turnover rate is pretty high.

benefits package was nice. employer-matched pension/RRSP, health and dental coverage, and a health savings account were all pretty decent.

It is very well managed company, all about ethical and professional service. The training and support I received when I first started was amazing, and the President and CEO and other executive management staff work directly with all staff regularly to offer mentorship and guidance. The salary and benefits are excellent, the growth is accelerated for anyone who really wants it and is prepared to put in the effort. Aquatech has an amazing team atmosphere and culture, where everyone works together and contributes to find solutions. 

I moved up quickly because I was willing to put in the time and effort and was recognized for that, it helped me build a career path even beyond my own expectations. I have seen others grow from entry level to senior positions because the owners recognize the effort and get directly involved to help guide what they call their future leaders. 

It is truly a really rewarding place to work if you want to be challenged and are looking for growth in your career.

When I started with the company I knew nothing of the dewatering business. I have been with the company for under a year and I find every day exciting and challenging, I have learn so much since I started.

It is a really rewarding place to work, where you will be challenged and you will grow if that is what you are looking for.

biggest focus is safety.

the shop, procedures, training, certifications and management 
is truly focused on advancement to the safety culture of today's world.

management and owners are fantastic and have great vision.

if you are flexible to get the job done they are flexible to your life.

the most enjoyable thing about my position is meeting all the people on job sites, 
getting the job done quickly and smoothly for them and the responses we receive when completed.

hardest part of the job, is something the company cant control
weather and environment. 
it can get wet, cold, muddy, wild life etc.

you may have to travel long distances and be gone for a while.
for myself that isn't an issue because I am able to do so without causing life issues. 
but the company understands and we are well taken care of.

I enjoy every moment of my employment at the Sudbury branch.

Almost in my third month working at Aquatech and I can honestly say this is a great company to work for. I enjoy coming to work everyday as all the employees are hardworking, motivated and work like a team. Everyone here is always willing to answer my questions and assist in any way they can. From my interview to my first day of work I have been welcomed here and I feel like I am part the Aquatech team. It is a busy office however employees are never to busy to say hello or ask if I need anything. Having worked in many companies, I can say that the Aquatech environment is one the most friendly motivating, and most personable. I am excited about my career at Aquatech and look forward to learning more about the company and what it has to offer!

You start off great and it's all smiles when you start, there's no structure no chain of command usually you have to figure it out yourself, Senior Management say they had zero training so you get the same, working life balance is poor keep your eye on your paycheck. Toronto branch is great place to work as it's all new . Stay away from ottawa branch.  Company Lunches are great when you are there at all locations, Company runs old and failing equipment and it embarrassing. There is better dewatering companies to work for.  Give it a go and try your luck. 

For the first two weeks I worked here they just sat me in a cubicle and barely spoke to me and there was no training or on boarding of any kind. When asked if there would be a training schedule they laughed at me. Eventually they had me "shadow" an estimator who had only been there 3 months. I simply sat next to him as he composed estimates. I spent the next several months pretending to look busy. I often asked for some work but they simply said they didn't have any. Once in a while they would recommend I visit some job sites to ask for new business but this was never a successful venture.  It turns out I was the 3rd person hired for this position and no one lasted longer that 6 months. 

If you are a self-motivated professional with goals and ambition to succeed and build an enduring career, Aquatech is the right place to be. Being part of a diverse team that delivers engineered solutions from design to the final product is highly rewarding and gives a sense of accomplishment and purpose. The dedication Aquatech puts into sustainable practices and environmental responsibility is inspiring and makes it a great place for those passionate about making a positive impact.
