Good place to start, bad place to stay.

Employee (Former Employee) - Vancouver, BC - July 22, 2020

The place is always busy but there are not enough employees for workload. It's still a family owned business, so they still have an old school way to do things. No space for suggestions, opinions or chance to show new ways to do things. Prideful attitude towards employees, witnessed mistreat to some co-workers. No teamwork sense at all. Lots of things to learn but nobody will explain or provide training. Co-workers may not be friendly, easy going or social. Most of the time, you're there to work and NOTHING else. Management is bad depending on which branch are you in. Repairs/maintenance items are done just good enough to make things work, most of the time. They have very flexible policies to support employees and wages are fair. Benefits are very competitive and overall good.

Pros

Fair wages. Benefits.

Cons

Management. Workload. Unsupportive. Careless people.
