Pros

-head office has a lot of genuinely nice people - none of which are in management roles -they provide food and drink on a constant basis which is nice but makes you wonder what they're doing for their site staff (ie. the bread and butter of the company).....? -lots of training opportunities and they're really good about paying for courses

Cons

-moral is extremely low on construction sites -deadlines are far too tight and unrealistic. -front end of company (ie. development managers and land development dept.) are setting up construction teams for failure with their ill advised business model -too many resources put into the wrong areas of the company (ie. taking groups of managers to Niagara Falls for a drunk weekend to discuss "corporate objectives") and far too little into those that are struggling (company operations, employee engagement, site management, etc.) -alarming turnover rate -an excessive amount of former mattamy employees who have wiped minto, a family owned company established 60 years ago, of any identity and culture it once had. in fact, minto feels more like a subsidiary of mattamy at this point. you hear "at mattamy..." fifteen times a day. upper/middle management regularly abuse their senority which is most apparent in the hiring "process". take a look at all the administrative staff and you'll realize that it's mainly comprised of former waitresses who once served a manager and won them over with their "personality"... -the salary structure is an absolute disaster and is mainly based on favortism and connections. two employees can work the same job and one makes $20,000 more with the exact same qualifications and history

We have run out of land and I don't want to relocate for family reasons. So I'll have to go to a lesser quality company.
