DDS Consulting

Too many managers, basically managers running managers. The turn around in this company is so horrible, I literally watch people get hired and fired within a week,(including myself) for poor reasons they need to leave Edmonton and go back to Calgary! The favouritism there is unholy. Don't you dare ever ask a question about your task god forbid you ever want clarification. Stay away from this poor company 

At Dds the management is very knowledgeable and your pay reflects the work that you but forward. I have no complaints working for dds, if you are looking for work this is a great place from the management to your coworkers everyone is very nice, friendly and well rounded people. At dds their are also opportunities to move up in the company and become a leader. Dds also provides you with great life skills that are crucial to life! 

This Edmonton branch is a bunch of useless management and not fair wages.most pay day Mondays owner was late on  cheques.my view is if you want to work 12 hours and be stressed out this is the place to work.they bounce you all over the place and no plans for tomorrow cause management is not around or not in for multiple days. Most days we didn’t even have a Forman or someone for instructions.seems like it’s a tight group of friends that runs higher management and picks who they like and don’t.

Get to learn construction from blueprint to final product. Foreman will mentor you if put the effort in. Pre-cast walls are like lego for adults. You can learn some hard skills quickly. Room for advancement.

The work can be quite dusty, but thats typical for construction. There are a few bad apples but most crews get along well and the work can be fun most days. 

I left for new opportunities but would not be where I am if not for my time here.

Establishing  a strong camaraderie which involves trusting your team in order to accomplish an efficient and safe goal and the opportunity to be involved in operating heavy equipment without prior experience is what I enjoyed most about the company. This company truly appreciates your handwork and will compensate your accordingly.

It's an alright place to work at when your with the right people, lots of foreman just sit in the truck and watch you work while they stay on their phone, everyone loves blaming someone else if something goes wrong, can be dismissed from the job for no reason even after your probation, job security isn't know here, in my 3 months there 6 people were fired

Monday to Friday sometimes everybody coming saturday

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing, absolutely nothing . Terrible work conditions, they won’t even supply work site bathrooms. All machines are thousands of hours over service.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not given proper materials or tools to jobs, they want you to pay out of your pocket. Then they get mad cause you can’t do the job properly.

Overall, work experience was acceptable, however work environment was hectic and lacked specifics.
Benefits were basic with additional options unavailable,
Missed employee hours were not important 

Decent people for sure. Communication between crews and management is a bit lacking at times but doesnt really effect much in the way of your job, great place to start out and room for advancement if that is what you are looking for. Pay rate compared to median wage is low and equipment is in rough shape and not maintained well.
