Foreman’s do not offer you help if needed, they give you attitude when you double check directions they give you to make sure you heard them right because job sites do get noisy and sometimes you cannot hear very well; it happens, I get it. The salary is pathetic and doesn’t even meet the bear minimum that other companies pay their employees. Management, foreman’s and labourers alike are underpaid so much that they do not care about doing their jobs and would much rather bully and pick on the new workers to the industry calling them dumb and lazy among other things when they don’t know how to work as good as some of the more experienced ones as they just simply don’t know how to do the job and need someone to show them; workers and management will not show them or teach them. And in the off chance a new person comes on and outworks the crew; the crew leaders and more experienced guys will give these good workers nothing but dummy jobs to do (ie: picking up water bottles or other garbage) and then start calling the office to get the worker kicked off site.

Working here has truly been a rewarding experience. It's a great place to learn, grow, and develop both personally and professionally. The organization fosters a culture of continuous improvement and encourages employees to take initiative, think critically, and contribute meaningfully to projects. What stands out most is the incredible team — great people who are collaborative, supportive, and committed to excellence. The work environment is positive and inclusive, making it easy to build strong professional relationships and enjoy day-to-day responsibilities. Leadership is approachable and genuinely invested in employee growth, providing mentorship, training opportunities, and room for advancement. Whether you're just starting your career or looking to take the next step, this is an ideal place to build a strong foundation and expand your skills. The balance between professional challenges and support makes it a truly enriching workplace. I feel fortunate to be part of such a dynamic and forward-thinking organization.



If you are comfortable starting at the bottom and working at the bottom for your whole stay than this job is for you. Management does not care about their workers. If complaints are made about a foreman, they are quickly swept under the rug and the foreman is told about the complaint which makes life harder for the worker. They pride themselves on being a big family and family oriented but that only applies to the workers who have been there for 10+ years. Don't bother asking for a raise because then you are told that there's many guys working for the same rate as you for 5+ years who never ask for a raise.

I would never wish anyone the absolute anguish and stress you will go through working here. the business manager will tell you anything you want to hear so you will break your back. 

Most foreman are incompetent. The tools are absolute trash, So is the company culture. If you want to work some where that the people will backstab you and talk about you behind your back than you are in luck! 

Don't fall for the "if you work late today we will get you guys a nice lunch" 

Id rather be kicked in the groin than work for them again. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
the pay was great and on time but management was sub par at best

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
findi g out our union dues and vacation wasn't being paid.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
They were very unorganized and slow to get materials to site.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
When we had material to work with the day went very fast.

Most dysfunctional company I have ever worked at. The hiring manager is sleezy the project managers are not knowledgeable and the Foremen for the most part have no idea what they're doing. The tools they provide are a joke and they don't follow building regulations.

The material they eventually get is usually wrong. If you like toxic workplaces with plenty of backstabbing and being blamed for work you were not involved in this is the place for you.

Was not a horrible place to work. They try to make it feel like "family" which is a plus I guess. They gave me a good opportunity for how young I was which I appreciated. 

Bonus structure for foreman/supervisor roles are poorly structured for the astounding amounts of money you make from a singular job if it's a large one. Most of the times issues aren't the foreman/supervisors fault but end up with them being at fault. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing is better working at this company 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Stressful, no work life balance

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Not good. Revolving door, senior management is tough to deal

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Short night long days multi tasking   fast laced

The people on my site for the most part were helpful and encouraged growing skills. They were mostly positive people. The owner of the company is a very unpleasant person and instantly makes people tense. 

Pushed to work very hard in a very hard job. Every foreman is pushed by management to get it done so they push the workers hard. We are told every job is behind schedule and every job has been bid low
