Lots of room for improvement

Pros

Good people. Co-workers are great and genuinely care for one another. Recent branch management changes have made employees more optimistic. I can't think of any other pros.

Cons

Managers will not tell employees if they are not meeting perfomance expectations, but instead will wait until their project ends and then suddenly not have any work available and lay them off. Environment in the office is not as fun as it once was. Key people have been terminated and the office has become blah. It's not a fun place to work anymore and there isn't any room for career growth. If you want to move up, you have to go someplace else.

Your feedback is important to us; thank you for it. We will pass this onto our Houston leaders. We would also welcome the opportunity to speak to you more about your concerns and there are many people that are available to speak to you. May we suggest talking with the new Branch Manager? He has many years of experience with Long View and would love to hear your feedback. Alternatively, our Director of People Services would also be interested in hearing your concerns and more in-depth suggestions. She can be reached at 403-515-6900.

Pros

Some middle management actually try to uphold the one core pillar that should matter the most, "Integrity". That is the "Pro" folks.

Cons

C-levels and Directors do not know the meaning of the word Honesty. Everyone makes false promises and there seems to be a race to see who breaks theirs first. Salary "negotiations" are a farce, job progression is none existent unless you bend a knee. Did I mention broken promises.. and flat-out lies from upper management. Wage theft, excessively long hours required (depending on department), the list goes on.

Thank you for your feedback. As you know, Integrity is one of our four core pillars, and we take it seriously. Although we will be looking into your comments further, it would be helpful if you spoke directly to our Director of People Services. Please call 403-515-6900 and ask to speak with her directly.

Pros

People are great! There is a family feel within the branch and people do care for each other. Good office location.

Cons

Poor management, low salaries, poor incentive program, low morale, uncertainty of future for branch, reactive to issues (instead of proactive)

Thank you for taking the time to write this in-depth review of our company. We are glad that you enjoy the group of people you work with and, it sounds like, you feel cared about. In order to improve on the areas that you mentioned are lacking in Houston, it would be helpful if you spoke to your People Services Advisor so that we can get your detailed thoughts and insight as to how to progress from here. If you are not comfortable with that, please call 403-515-6900 and ask to speak with the Director, People Services and she would be happy to hear your thoughts.
