Symtech

I have never worked at a more unprofessional company. Nepotism at its finest (ex. lots of the managers are someone’s kid or family member, talk about conflict of interest and no real career progression for people who actually care about their work). All the upper management are groomed to think they are better than everyone else at the company. This is a DRAMA-FILLED company that you should avoid at all costs. They only look out for themselves. They do not pay you fairly or even competitively. Trust me, if you take additional time to look for another job, i guarantee you will find a place that will pay you fairly. They treat everyone poorly and no one supports you because management talks behind people’s backs. They don’t care about company culture at all, they do not encourage collaboration. You walk into the office and it is silence, no one speaks to each other. Once you tell them you want to quit they come at you with tons of empty promises like “we were going to do this with you” where was this plan 1 month ago or even 2 years ago? Don’t trust anything they say. Not sure how they can call themselves “innovative”. 

I've been with symtech for couple months now as an electrical apprentice. I've been on a lot of different sites and I've also been in the office. For people who are hired here as office workers...start applying somewhere else, upper management literally divide lower management here's how. The office has two floors, only upper management is allowed on the second floor which are all key fobbed doors. So lower guys on the ladder...good luck feeling included with room to grow. As for the workers in the field, a lot of foreman doesn't seem to be in control of their jobs, I've witnessed several decent journeyman and apprentice getting laid off in busy times by the company because foremans push guys under the bus which ends up with the guys getting let go. For guys in the field, show up and do your job. Don't say too much because a lot of guys here are family and you will be at the ibew 353 hall before you know it.

Solid company with potential career growth. As with ANY company, you need to put in the time, build trust and respect. It's a 2 way street. Staff work hard here and want to feel their contributions matter. Some managers recognize and appreciate it so it depends on the manager and how s/he communicates. Salaries are not the lowest in the industry but should improve to stay with competition. "Boys club" but really, what industry/company isn't?  Benefits are very basic- needs work here.  Love summer hours- don't have to make up time to leave early, monthly company lunches are nice, same with lunch and learns. Strong diversity throughout company but could see more representation in upper management- but this not a new problem with any organization.

Symtech is a great electrical and communications company to work for. Management is very encouraging, they appreciate initiative, recognize our contribution to team work and ensure the needs of the employee are met. Symtech embodies a fast paced environment, with quick thinking and many challenges all leading to a knowledge building environment. I appreciate the challenge of the job as it keeps things interesting and fun. There is definitely opportunities for career advancement and growth within the company. I've been working here for 5 years now and am looking forward to see where my future here goes.

Symtech Inovations is an amazing place to work. The company has established a very welcoming and organized work environment for all employees.  As an employee who has been with the company for over 3 years now. The work has been meaningful and important ever since I started. Symtech offers employees to learn from within their work fields, as I did within the years I have been here. Management is extremely experienced, and will always provide the essential training. The work culture here is simple, work hard and you will advance. I look forward to coming into work everyday because my co-workers and managers are genuine and understanding.  When you come here to work, you work as a team.

Larger Toronto based company with diverse work opportunities in both Canada and the USA. 

All levels of management are very experienced and have an in-depth knowledge of the industry.

Employees are respected and given equal opportunity. 

Dedicated and hard working employees are recognized and given the opportunity to grow within the organization.

Management maintains an open door policy with candid communication within the office and field.

Pay scale is par or above the industry average.

Like any other company... they've had their share of employees who were lazy/ unproductive yet have felt entitled...

I've been with symtech for a year and it's a great company when it comes to advertising to people. Working here, not so much. Tons of micro managers and close family friend for the owner. Money is the companys only goal and not employees. Guys get lay off and calls go on the out of work list at ibew the next day to replace that person who got lay off. Due to management treating guys like trash, they rebel by not caring about the work they do. A lot of lazy, sleazy, sneaky guys work in the field. Only reason this company is growing is because the owners grandad owned plan group at one point so, now this guy is trying to get all of plan group builders.

Quit, boring.
You learn little if anything.  Management does not communicate with its employees in a positive way. All that Management does is be little you in front of other employees & consultants. Symtech has a high a turnover of rate of people.  The workplace culture is negative. Little to no room for growth or job security. Hardest part of the job, is just communication with Managers.  The best part of the job were the summer lunches, and the holiday break at the end of the year. Half day Fridays in the summer. Benefits are little to none.
Bottom line stay away this place.


In my 14 years at Symtech I have had nothing short of an excellent working experience. The environment is face paced, fun and very rewarding. 

Symtech has consistently grown year after year and the leadership has focused on promoting from within the company. Throughout my advancement at Symtech I was always afforded the proper training and guidance in order to take the next step. 

There is plenty for upward trajectory and opportunity for advancement at Symtech and I would suggest it to any of my peers.
