Seymour Pacific Developments LTD.

Good place to work in that they want to see you advance and better yourself by putting you through school and other PD programs. However, they do not pay that well and raises were scarce. I have a degree and almost a designation, but turns out I didn't need it for my job there.

The office is beautiful, prestige place to work with a full cafeteria service for the employees. I was able to make work friends and we frequently socialized outside of work. Seymour only hired those who fit the company culture, which made for a fun place to work.

Throughout my employment I learned a lot of accounting and other work skills that made for a great resume. However, work did become routine and was rarely given other projects besides my month-end duties.

Management is great except for delegating certain authority to a single individual. He was able to let me go without reasonable cause instead of warning me to figure out the problem.

Seymour Pacific is an excellent company to work for.  If not for the fact that I can't be 7 hours away from my family anymore, I would still be here. 
Typical days varied depending on the stage of build.  Some days I'd be bombarded with paperwork other days would find me travelling around getting supplies.  It was never boring.
My boss was one of the nicest people ever worked for.  He taught me everything I wanted to know about construction from excavation to final clean, and I had a lot of questions.  Everything from reading blueprints to different tools and supplies.
We had a crew at all time of approximately 13 people.  I never had much issue with anyone.  For the most part they were all hard working.
I didn't really find any part of my job hard, if I didn't know something I asked and then would determine the best way for me to do it.
The most enjoyable part was watching the buildings go up and how quickly they progressed at each stage, and knowing that I had a part of bringing it together.

Great, flexible and friendly management but the pay is way low. Beside the low pay the overall experience for me was a positive one.
The day would begin by the foreman drafting what each worker would be doing for the day. the foreman would also direct the lead hand to assist any work who might need additional assistance. This site was small and thus everyone knew everyone which was somewhat positive for me. another positive aspect was that you got to got your hands on various things happening on site such as carpentry, concrete finishing, myself I got to learn how to build cable houses. but the most enjoyable part of the job was the site superintendent's attitude towards workers, was not a stuck up/ Im your boss kinda attitude. and also getting free pizza on some weekends , whenever the foreman or the site superintendent felt like buying it. the hardest part was digging into frozen soil

Great to work for with a great rate of pay so that you could enjoy your life without having to live on securing a required amount of overtime. There is always a sense of something going on either coming up or across the company that built great spirit and morale for their managers, whether it was movember,group donations, or drives  the company has an overall positive culture with the leadership showing that we can help charities without having to wave a flag every time we did (it happened a bit and blowing your own horn that much would be obnoxious) My coworkers at SPD made it more than just money per hour it was a job I really enjoyed for the most part.(every job no matter how glamorous has a downside)

Very little appreciation shown for the hard work that is done. There is way too much work and not enough workers so you are expected to just “work harder”. 

Some of the senior managers have no real management experience and have simply been grandfathered into their jobs. This results in a total lack of structure and leadership within the department. 

Communication is very difficult and there is a tendency to hoard knowledge. Lots of passing the buck and blaming others. 

I would not work here. They have an extremely high turnover rate. Most of their best employees leave and there is no attempt to retain good talent. 

Many of the office employees are close to burnout and there is no attempt by upper management to acknowledge it or try to alleviate it. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Flexible,  great crew, if you work hard you get paid well 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Working with the privileged, some people will always have the Silverspoon when they're gifted with the gab.


What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very flexible for having a family... but as your position grows, you may have to jump high.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Work, work, do a great job, feel rewarded, have patience for the one who dont work.... and then look forward to tomorrow if you know you are o e who is committed.  Some will always wonder if their job is secure, as long as you commit,   you'll look forward to tomorrow.

Through my several years with the organization, I've experienced growth opportunities, developed my skills, and gained valuable experience. Although I place high expectations on myself for results, the benefit is that I reach goals that once seemed impossible.   I feel lucky to work with so many amazing people who have supported and encouraged me professionally and personally. The most rewarding part of my job is watching the growth of the organization due to each and everyone's hard work and dedication.  

Would never recommend to anyone to work for this company. The owner / father is a great guy. Son who is taking over slowly is a power hungry and greedy individual. Work place is run like a boot camp. They want 12 hours of work from you in an 8 hour day. They are unrealistic in their expectations - hence why all the people who were of any value packed up and bailed on them. It’s no wonder people even work for them. Pathetically run company.

The company underpays, overworks and severely under appreciated everyone of its employees.
And once the work is complete, the drop you like a sack of potatoes.

The most enjoyable part of this job was that I met my boss 5 times, he never took me out to lunch or even brought me coffee.   And every time you have to make a big on site call he would not stand behind you you or have any faith in you whatsoever.

The only useful thing that I took away from this job was that I gained work experience and contacts.

The past three people in my position hadn't made it far past six months and neither did I. If you work here keep your head down and stay out of the office politics. Training is limited but you can learn a lot. The free lunch and smoothies at head office are great. Celebrating holidays like Christmas and Halloween is limited. Lots of ceo family and extended family members in leadership positions adds to culture challenges.
