The financial controller chooses favourites and treats the ones she likes very well. If she or the general manager does not like you, they will treat you very poorly until you have no choice to quit. You will feel picked on, bullied and segregated. At the time I was present, they did not follow the workplace harassment policy and a copy was never even given to anyone when they first started. Many have experience similar situations with the GM or financial controller of being pushed out or picked on/bullied. They have a HR rep for the company but it is very unfortunate that her hands were tied in these situations as management does not allow her to actually perform her job and do what is necessary to avoid these situations and resolve them in a timely manner. It was a highly unethical workplace.

However, I had many fantastic co-workers! I left the company with many lifelong friendships in the end and enough experience that landed me a fantastic job.

There was a great work/life balance as in the winters we even had half day Fridays due to the winter being the slow time. 

There is no room for advancement really in most of the positions. Once you are in that position, you will most likely be in that position for life - especially as mentioned, if management has something against you for their own personal reasons. 

The salary was terrible, I don't know what anyone else in the company was paid however if salaries were conducted properly due to experience, work ethics etc - pay scale - than many others were poorly paid as well. They do have benefits which they cover which was great.

As you see I was there for 3 years therefore its not like I was new and formed these opinions quickly. I loved my job at first, however after some time when you start to see things more clearly you realize that it is an unhealthy work environment to be in. Absolutely no job security for anyone - does not matter how long you worked there.

Ridiculous company . Not transparent and will fire you when you have done nothing wrong . Doesn’t matter of your situation or if your dying. There is no such thing as a heads up with this company . Their new CEO is a total unsympathetic person and only cares about the people at the top. No room for growth. I wish I did my research more before joining Fermar because even a 100k salary is not worth stress.

I do not recommend working here if you want a life.  No room for advancement.  Management is brutal and they do not care about you. You are a number to them and that is it.  The CO of the company is not nice and cares very little about his employees.  You are expected to work at the very least from 7am to 5:30pm.  Save yourself the time and find another job. You will be miserable here just like everyone else that works for Fermar.

Learned How to operate a Bobcat Machine/skid steer.and was very comfortable with overtime hours,but getting to work was very hard in the morning time due to transit.

Very disappointed 
I had been  preauthourized to use the 407 etr to get to the  various snow plow yards that are far away sometimes. 
At the end of the season I handed the invoices in and never got my money back. 
One manager was awesome and that's why they get an extra star
I liked the work. Great equipment. Awesome people. 
Now I'm sad thinking about this again.

A typical day is to print out tickets for the truck drivers, make sure the material is accurate and the weights are not over. Every one there is friendly and social. My boss was flexible with me due to my son being in school or if I had an appointment he worked with me. I would love to go back when the weather is permitting.

Good place to work, can be long hours.
Road construction summer and snow plough operations in the winter.
The hours and pay are there.
The work load is managed fairly, and employees are well trained for the positions.
A safety minded company.


Overall good experience for beginners, to avoid if you have experience
-micro and poor management
-long and unpaid over hours
-forget about personnal life



Position was good for the summer however no growth opportunities in my field.

Long days, unorganized, micromanaged by upper management.
Equipment is not maintained, understaffed in the mechanical department, Unable to get the required tools for the job. 
Very cliquey.
