Mazzei Electric

I have been Working for Mazzei Electric since late summer 2017, they are my second electrical contractor of my apprenticeship, I now have over 2,000 hours with Mazzei Electric. Being no stranger to construction, and having been around it and tools my whole life I can definitely say it's one of my favourite companies I have worked for, the foreman are great, and easy to deal with. The office is quick to respond if you have a question about company policies or practices. There is a ton of opportunity to learn as an apprentice, they actually teach their apprentices how to do the job, instead of using them as cheap labour, or getting them to do menial unrelated tasks. Safety is taken very seriously, and every foreman will take any safety issues seriously and push the generals to fix any issues on site or we will fix it ourselves, they don't just say it's a priority on paper. you are never expected to do something outside your scope of safety, and any issue is thoroughly reviewed and proper measures put in place to prevent further issues if necessary. For me that is a huge plus, I have a wife and three kids and we are a single income family so it comforts me to know they take it as seriously as I do.

Mazzei Electric has been an excellent company to work for since day one, everyone from the office to the field have been friendly and a pleasure to get to know. 

I personally looked at the indeed reviews when choosing to work for the company which is why I felt it necessary to correct a review I found to be quite misleading. 

The review states that the company doesn't supply PPE and goes on to say that the new safety rep said this.... well, that would be me and that is incorrect, the only PPE not supplied by the company is that which is the responsibility of the employee. 

Mazzei Electric is a COR certified company, this would not be the case if they did not meet a high standard in health and safety which is confirmed by a third party auditor.   

The management encourages a strong safety culture and is continually looking for areas of improvement to ensure that a high safety standard is achieved, maintained.

My experience with Mazzei has been great and I would recommend this company to anyone looking to join a great team.

Mazzei Electric is a company that is struggling to operate on the scale it's currently opperating on. In their bid to underbid the competition they grossly underpay thier apprentices, many of which are forced to work second jobs, and essentially make them pay for items such as tape and screws and sometimes even blades and bits for company tools providing only dull, bent or broken ones. Incentives are non-existent and pay raises are based on achieving milestones that are unrelated to the employee's work performance. Job security is based almost exclusively on nepotism. Employees are often tasked with completing a job without the proper material. The lack of experienced and capable management creates in fighting and massive loss of man hours, the lack of experienced Journeymen (vast majority are under 25) robs apprentices of meaningful tutelage and the corporate philosophy of throwing random bodies at a job leads to the inefficient and poorly executed work that Mazzei is becoming synonomous with.

I started at Mazzei and watched management slowly improve, overall it was headed in the right direction, but has recently taken a step back. Employees come and go more then any other company I've ever worked for, they only seem to care about employees in higher positions as apprentices and journeyman are disposed of at high rates. Watched many employees (especially apprentices) in recent times be let go due to "work shortage" but that's just their gutless way of firing you if you do not meet standards. They will never approach you and tell you what to work on to improve or anything. Foreman just bad mouth the employee behind their backs and eventually get them "layed off". If you are in higher positions you get feedback, apprentices just get blind sided with losing their jobs.  I wouldn't recommend anyone work for Mazzei. Stay clear.

I have no complaints. I had heard enough hearsay that the company had went through some growing pains, but as of 2020, they seemed well organized and ambitious to keep growing. If I had stayed, I would have had plenty of opportunity to grow in my career with Mazzei. I came to them a fresh jman, and they had no problem when I admitted I needed plenty more mentorship, and they worked with me on continued learning.

My experience was only 5 months, but they're top on my list of companies I've enjoyed working for.

Hire in bulk for projects and lay off people as project ends with empty promises of phone calls . Foreman for months showed up smelling like a alcohol and wasn’t the least bit concerned about what was happening or how the project was being put together. If it wasn’t for a journeyman who had a clue and was running everything in the background, wasn’t impressed with compensation for the living expenses and living arrangements that eventually was going to leave me with no income incoming because of poor management of housing arrangements . No bonus at projects end and no notice for last day.

Work/life balance is perfect as you are not expected but offered often to work overtime or extra days of the week and also granted time off and sick days without feeling questioned or untrusted for taking time off, this is a healthy happy work life, fast-paced, fun, inviting, and a good group of coworkers and management to get behind who are always inviting and informative, would recommend working with this company hands down any day to anyone, comes with perks and benefits, and a decent salary with raises fairly given when earned, you feel appreciated working here 

Since I began working for Mazzei I have kept my head down and worked hard, these actions I cannot say were like minded of my peers, If you don’t work hard you won’t be rewarded. 
I feel I have been treated very fairly by Mazzei and I am advancing my career experience with them. I’m looking forward to a prolonged future with them where possible. My advice would be if you can’t apply yourself you’ll end up like the rest.

Everyone from the management to the foreman’s to the apprentices are carefully chosen to ensure a productive, safe, and educational day, everyday. The journeymen and foreman in the field are very supportive of a learning apprentice and makes sure the job gets done properly and safely the first time. The office management always replies fast and detailed to help with any needs. Great benefits package and flexible time off when it’s time to return to school. Highly recommend.

Great company but as long you get the right supervisor. There is one there that really should not even be there.
Employees are great to work with.
Office staff one is awesome and will help you out as much as that person can. The upper management well that is a different story.  Good luck. You can be the judge. Please don't base your decision on my point of view please. 
Take the plunge and take the job and you will see lol. It could be different than my own experience.
