DESCO

My experience at Desco Plumbing was disappointing due to a lack of organization, communication, and professionalism from management.
From the interview stage, I did not feel properly informed about the role. I was not given a clear explanation of job expectations, and the walkthrough of the facility was rushed. I was left without a solid understanding of what the position involved before being hired.
The onboarding process reinforced this impression. On my first day, I arrived on time but found the door locked and had to wait to be let in. The onboarding experience felt unstructured, and I was given minimal guidance to get started.
There was also ongoing confusion around scheduling. I was given different shift times during the interview, onboarding, and by a supervisor shortly after starting. This lack of consistency made it difficult to plan and adjust.
In my role as a truck driver, deliveries were not well organized, and the training I received did not align with the areas I was assigned to cover. This created unnecessary stress and made it harder to perform the job effectively.
Overall, my experience was that the workplace lacked coordination and clear communication, and I did not feel adequately supported in my role. Based on this experience, I would advise others to carefully consider these factors when applying.

The assigned tasks are generally straightforward, yet there are challenges dealing with management, particularly in their approach toward agency workers. Some attempts have been made to exploit foreign workers, possibly due to a limited understanding of Canadian law. It was disheartening to see it unfold. Confidentiality is not consistently maintained. By staying focused on your responsibilities and dismissing negativity, and constantly reminding yourself of the meaningful reasons behind accepting the jobs whether it's for family, children, or financial obligations like a homes you can discover the strength to persevere.

The "Good Morning" and "Good Evening" greetings are part of the day and some socializing in between. During my tenure, I learned a lot about the Plumbing Industry. Desco Management is trying hard to connect to employees to know more about what they need as well as making corrective actions. It is a place where employees mind their own business. 

Sometimes human errors can not be avoided but it delays the reports and costly too. Socializing with co-workers was a good thing. The most important part of the job was when there was no problem and meeting the deadline before it was due.

Company runs very thin, never enough staff. What some people are allowed to do, others are not allowed. Offer new employees the world and the employees that have been with them for years get no incentives. All experience employees leave for the competition. This is the only company I  have worked for that allows they customers to abuse their employees. 

It is a good company to work for. They will give you credit when you do a good job and they give annual raises. I was out on the truck all day and I was kept very busy which is a good thing.

Many long term staff who have extensive knowledge of the company. Mid range for pay and benefits. Culture can be a bit restrictive, not open to working from home or flexible start times.

This place drains you out, pathetic management too much favouritism, 
they makes you pick but there is no standards so if you are not the favourite of management then you are always under performing 

Nice place to work, stressful at times but always a good team to work with at every branch I’ve been to! My boss is the best I’ve ever had, would recommend this role to anyone

Need improvement in management. I don't see any long term growth opportunity. Decent salary.  They are trying to improve but, not satisfactory effort. Minimal salary growth each year. 

The company is very growth oriented and has the ability to continue that focus. The company has a wonderful compensation package and values its employees.
