BNE Contractors

I told them on my phone interview my work skills and experience,  I started working for this company August 10th , 2020 
Everybody in that crew was new including myself 
The foreman of that crew was very nice and easy going. The first week started beginning was good running smooth then Wednesday came where we worked 12 hours in the sun and Forman had asked everyone if everyone wanted to sleep in and come in late the next day some agreed some didn’t 
I slept in the next day and drove right to the site  In the morning , when usually I’d go to the shop and get a ride to work site, we spoke on the phone for the interview they knew everything about my situation and still didn’t care because I don’t in trouble for that day for sleeping in when the boss had offered and I accepted 
The next week after I was at work till 2:30 pm on Wednesday the 19th I went to Forman and said I’m not feeling well and that I’m going to stop for the day and go home didn’t want to am hurt myself or other 
He had said “ if you have to go then you have to go “  I obliged and said see you tomorrow 
Also have a Doctors note from my family doctor  from that day but I still got a call from the office saying I just left the premises without saying anything which is very incorrect then proceeded to say I’m not working for the rest of the week due to that  and she had also gave me a lot of problems and grief over the phone when I was just protecting and defending myself they made it seem I was doing negligence when that wasn’t the case also had told me I’m wasting her time on the phone very rude of Heather but I still stayed cause wasn’t letting anyone discourage me i went to work this week the 24th August to a new crew , new job , New place 
And worked myself off even out preformed other workers on the same crew Forman of that crew also had to me the job I did looks good
And Tuesday August 25th at 2:00 pm the Forman comes to me says I quote “ you going home today there’s a shortage of work today “ I said ummm okay that’s confusing cause of what happened week prior I wanted to protect myself I wanted to confirm with the office Again they hadn’t picked up the phone I left a voice mail and email stating what just happened 
Then 10 mins later I get a call from bob someone who isn’t watching me work or anything because ones that are told me I was doing good work but I got fired because “ I don’t fit in the culture “ , “ I’m not professional enough “ 
It’s a bunch of men working constuction I don’t understand all that even when I asked Bob to elaborate and clarify on that he stutters and end up saying good luck out there all the best and hangs out !!!!
Are you kidding me the management is this company is very poor , and it’s shady not honest
I had called asked multiple times what I had done so I can work on it and fix it for my next job I’m still left clueless no solid answers or proof even    
Firing someone because they don’t fit in the culture sounds like discrimination of some sort 
I was on time , did all tasks that were given to me correctly In good time matter , very polite and punctual
But yet what I feel and see is I’m a fully tattooed person that works on whatever the boss says 
When breaks come I eat alone and when I see everyone coming back I’m back at work 
I honest feel I was wrongfully dismissed 100% 
Can’t just fire someone cause you don’t like them and not even because of their work ethic I’ve asked that on the phone  and he never confirmed it so I’m lead to believe 
I got fired cause the company didn’t like me as a person period. 
And also I was starting at 29$ and hour and there’s other workers there been there way longer gettting a lot less than me and hour and they worked there much longer then me and I just started 
Management is poor

What is the best part of working at the company?
Anyone with the potential to push a broom can make it at BNE. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No communication between management and employees. Pay cheques are good and then inconsistent without explanations. Random docked hours; no travel pay. If there is any travel pay if they don’t find a way to rip you off for it; it’s peanuts to what goes into your gas tank. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
If you’re a golfer; BNE is the place for you. As long as you obey the elders even if they are wrong you will have long term employment. Get ready to bend over.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Fixing other so called professionals mistakes. The blame is constantly being passed around instead of addressing issues head on. Management takes no accountability or responsibility for their mismanagement of major projects. Easier to blame employees than to take responsibility. They could also have proper training to ensure safety of employees but if you get injured they will find any way to get rid of you. Not an honest company at all.

Learned to polish and finish concrete floors. Really dirty environment but a great place to learn everything there was to learn about handling concrete cutters, buffers, polishers, grinders etc..

I loved the long hours but unfortunately being sent out of province where special licences were required to work there and not having those in place ahead of time made it very difficult to work. Unpaid travel from one province to another was also not easy on the pocketbook.

Hard on the knees and hands until I was able to get used to the vibrating of the equipment.

We have regular team check-ins which is great to keep everyone on the same page.
If you have ideas the company and the teams are open to hear recommendations. 
Management is approachable and support continued growth in their team members.  
In construction dead lines are important, there are times when things get busy and you really need to pull together as a team to get the work completed on time.

Worked at bne . They never had proper ppe or tools to do our job properly. All there guys are getting silica dust because they won't provide proper ppe. If you ask for ppe they will say" if you don't like it u can go home" they don't have trust in any of there supervisors or workers. Inconsistent hours and docked hours are very common.  Money is good when they pay properly. They only have consistent work for 8 months a year. And even then they rarely put in more then 35 hrs

They are not family oriented, like they say they are  i could never spend time with my family. I had my new born son that I barely saw, and they will start cutting hours if you say no if they call you and ask you to work, nothing is done properly and everyone will stab you in the back including Human resources and project manager, and they don't not pay anyone properly

Poor experience, long hours, too much travel. Very high turn over of employee's. Expected to work extra hours and defer overtime to regular hours. I would not recommend working for this company.

Professional work environment. Employees were encouraged to expand knowledge and skills necessary to complete the tasks of a growing company. I enjoyed being part of the management team.

Was there 8 years amd learned so much. Best company i ever worked for, to bad i left and ruined my career tho. Been trying to get bk on gor soong but haven't had any success. Been ki kicking myself wver sence i left. If you get on here be smart dont leave.
