Mattamy Homes

A typical day at Mattamy Homes includes serving clients with information on available homes. My day begins with checking emails, voice mails and booking appointments. My day progresses to contacting purchasers to keep in touch during the new home experience. I also take time to manage the office in regards to inventory, ordering supplies, staff scheduling and preparing reports for senior management.
Mattamy Homes provides a very friendly and support environment for all its employees. The supervisors and management team are supportive and understanding, they also teach and help build career oriented skills. As a full time employee I am able to work with junior staff in providing training and support, we work well as a team and independently to handle tasks at hand.
Being an administrative assistant at Mattamy Homes has many enjoyable moments such as a smile on a purchasers face once they sign the paper work of their new home. I also enjoy the interaction with our purchasers and potential clients. The hardest part of my job would be seeing disappointed new home owners; sometimes the experience is over whelming, sometimes finance, there are a variety of issues that can make a purchaser upset. However all of this is always, if not often, changed into positive moments.

My job as an administrative assistant provides me with experience to work effectively and efficiently. It allows me to learn every day and to be a strong asset to a growing company.

They may manipulate to rank as one of the Top 100 Employers but that's so false. I left another great job with an amazing builder to join Mattamy but regretted it bitterly.  A lot of great colleagues but except for the founder who is nice, the rest of the senior executives are elitist, condescending and arrogant. Far too profit driven and concerned with their own performance bonuses with no regard for staff or realistic workloads. The more you work to accomplish the impossible, the more they pile on with no genuine appreciation. There are a lot of politics and high turnover. They don't even care about buyers. They just want to sell and collect their money even if buyers have to move into incomplete homes. It finally made the news so they try not to do that but the fact they even allowed that speaks to their greed and lack of caring.

I was hired from working as a temp through an agency. They seemed to like my experience and my knowledge of the Labourer duties. I knew most aspects of my job from previous experience and enjoyed learning new ways from Mattamy. 

I showed up every day was denied days off when I needed to repair my vehicle and attend court. 2 days total. I took them off because I had to. 

I was completing my tasks in a timely matter but you do hit speed bumps here and there to ensure things are done properly. I was brought into the office and fired after 2 months of employment. I am not impressed. I was told I was not keeping up with production and yet I was. If I fell behind I caught up. I did my job, worked hard and was let go because I spoke up about things and tried to be a team player. 

Thanks for the experience and hope to move on to better things.

I am a former employee of Mattamy where I worked at Corporate Head Office for 5 years; it was absolutely and unequivocaly the best company I have worked for. The friendships I have made still remain and the support I received from my bosses, I have not been able to find anywhere else previous and post Mattamy. I've worked with people on the site as well as Head Office and they were all fantastic with positive attitudes. When I first began my employemnt, I worked late in order learn about Homebuilding but, after a few months I never had to stay late again. We were provided a great deal of training with regards to Customer Service and Homebuilding. My only regret is that I left this wonderful company to work for another Homebuilder, who in absolutely no way compares to the positive environment of Mattamy; they are THE star among Homebuilders.

Loved my time as a NHT in the GTAW for the most part.  
There's always people that just don't play nice with others, especially with a company as big as this.  
 If you're a steady worker you'll succeed. Never had a layoff, some of the managers would have you believe different, hasn't been one in decades. 
 Not sure how the US employees are treated but here in Canada it was first class. 
 Hourly for the NHT is below par but the 44 a week is always there and more during the 4qtr push if you want it. 
 It's overall a great place to work, but everything is what you make of it.  I still miss the fellas. 
 

Most of the day was filled with meetings, lunches and not much time for actually performing the primary function on site
The overall organization was large and definitely developed to expedite the work. This is needed as the schedule at best is tight.
Management at the highest levels is good and helpful. The site management (as I saw) has a history of fumbling through and not taking responsibility for their actions. Middle managers do not get a clear view of what really goes on.
Many aspects of the culture are great if you can become a favorite son.
Not getting correct and true information was the most difficult part of the job. Having to suffer it in silence made it worse.
Truly the most enjoyable part of the job is interacting with the staff in the field and trades people.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I got paid for my hours put in

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The inexperienced people they call builders. In Calgary they hire builders that have never built anything in their life before, they don’t even own tools.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic, the management at head office in Toronto plays favourites with builders because their sons are friends with them not because they have any experience or ability to do their job. Calgary specifically (Brad Carr) 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Never ending it seems. Lots of useless meetings when you could be getting work done instead.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great company to work for. They really care for the employees.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Homeowners are the most stressful part but that even isn’t that stressful 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Company is driven to give homeowners the best experience possible. That give us the best training and knowledge possible to achieve this goal. You can always talk to your supervisors because they really care 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Face paced, walk through with the homeowner and repair what needs to be repaired. End of day, write a report

the company itself is good. the supervisors ruin it all. they set you up to fail no matter what. you can never get a answer for an urgent problem from them. you do as they say and its never good enough. they end any employee moral. they say they "know the job" meanwhile they sit in their office all day or drive around and do nothing all day.. and clearly forgot what its like on the front lines.  no "builder" cares about anything or anyone but themselves or the garbage houses they close. no one takes pride in their work, mainly the upper management.  they want to keep people who lack intelligence for the position.  

theres bullc**p to everyjob, just too much for nothing at this place.

I have mixed feelings about my time at Mattamy Homes. On one hand, the people are fantastic. I worked with some of the most genuine, knowledgeable, and supportive colleagues I’ve ever met; the sense of camaraderie is definitely the highlight of the job.

However, the lack of organization is a major hurdle. Project management often feels chaotic, and because processes aren't streamlined, the workload becomes unpredictable and inefficient. This lack of structure drastically impeded my personal life, as late nights and last-minute scrambles became the norm rather than the exception. It’s a great place if you value a tight-knit team, but be prepared for the work-life balance to take a significant hit due to the internal disorganization.
