Pedre Contractors

Office management lack huge on communication with employees. Whenever it comes to raises, it is impossible to get ahold of them. They continue to make False promises over and over again! Let me tell anyone who reads this that is applying.... Start your wage offer around what you want it to be because they will offer you less and say they will evaluate you after 30 days to prove you are what you say you are and when the 30 days is up. Have fun getting ahold of them. When you do get ahold of them they will say oh yes we will get you a raise then not give it to you for 6 more months! By then you proved your worth is way more then their first initial small raise.

 On site management such as Foreman's, superintendents and let's just say everyone of your coworkers who are actually out there doing the work are great!!! The management team out there with you actually form great friendships and help with any needs. Great job to the hard workers out there on sites your the reason people stay and put up with the broken promises and lower than promised wages :)

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working with crews work as a  good team, foreman are good to thier crews

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Company does not maintain thier  equipment,  office eager to right up or terminate employees. 
Poor communication and respect is lacking.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
High tension, always watched by the saftey pit bull.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Dispatched jobs very vague information for job description, as a workers your pushed to go past workers limits, causing people to be in harms way.

this company is poorly managed, from head to toe. Everyday was a struggle trying to grasp what i was doing. There is a lot of micro management which makes everyday tasks confusing and unclear.  One day we would have clear instructions for the upcoming week then at the end of the day be placed somewhere else and have no notice as to what we would be doing. This is continuous day after day and it was not fulfilling. as far as benefits goes, they are a part of Clac, which, in my opinion are satisfactory in providing benefits, but are not a union at all!! they are all for the employer and not the workers under them.

Lack of leadership, direction, planning and cohesiveness between management and work force. No breaks, fake health and safety program because once management isn’t on site no one follows the rules of the h and s program.

Although the work is brutal labour and the weather is never nice when working(even if it looks nice). The people your working with make all the difference there is an excellent team-building environment, and comradery makes even the worst days worthwhile.

No breaks or lunch and long, hard days in all sorts of weather but you were rarely short of work and the money is good if you're willing to put in the hours.

labourers are taught a lot to go farther in this company so they can become skilled labourers and even get a chance to become a foremen and lead your own team or as a pipelayer which is what I was trying to get to.

No breaks were during time of employment there, some closures did not make sense, unexpected long hours, unexpected change of sites, most enjoyable part of the job were how friendly the employees are

I don't get dispatched for a work site until late at night and if there isn't any work you can't get a hold of anyone at company for questions related to when there might be any work.

Pedre offers great opportunity to learn from unique and challenging civil utility project. Office and field communication can improve but operations department is on top of all field staff.
