Pinchin reviews about "manager"

Labor shortage can lead to burnout. Offices and managers are encouraged to take more than they can handle and are competitive with each other. Can be working in some pretty hazardous/nasty environments.

Great company going downhill as it becomes more corporate

For some reason, one lady in the human resources (HR) department really seemed to have it in for me. As such, this uncontrolled malice made my experience at Pinchin unpleasant. At Pinchin, the letters HR are really an abbreviation of harassment. For my technical area, the company had no strategic vision at all and no idea of what to do to promote business in that area. They also had a very confused situation with various senior people spouting off their opinions about various things, generally contradicting each other, but all thinking they were conveying clear instructions about what course of action to take.

Less pay, no respect for staff, no value of your hard work, blame staff for things you are not responsible for, even after handling so much in the company. They will put you on notice without hearing your perspective. Work-life balance is BAD in this company. I suggest you avoid this company.

Tricky to keep up with the workload

Pay is below industry standard

High pressure and heavy workload.

Wouldn’t recommend Pinchin to my worst enemy. The fraud and corruption runs all the way up to the top. On a client basis, The company hides what environmental concerns they can to save the client money but in doing so, opens them up to liability. On an employee basis, it’s the worst company I can think of. The company prefers to hire from colleges to pay them less and paid so low that they only raised entry level wage after finding out all other companies pay more. The company also suppresses advancement and training. People and culture (HR) has hid harassment by senior managers, sent personal emails of employees country wide and lied to the labour board. Senior management was angry at an employee for requiring an asbestos test in a contaminated building. Entering the pandemic, the CEO refused to provide masks to employees claiming “it did not protect the person wearing it” while continuing to require employees to enter personal residences and senior care homes. The COO was stopped from committing fraud as while the company was laying off hundreds of employees claiming “a sudden and unforeseeable reduction in work” in order to not have to pay them, he bought a second personal property (a ski chalet). An employee stopped him from using a company card to perform an assessment on the property. The company cut as many staff as possible, changed contracts without notice and received government grants in order to pay senior staff full salaries and bonuses while putting low level staff on work reduction. Any employees that could left the company, and they now cannot find employees to work for them due to their mistreatment. Do yourself a favour, find another job, for any other company.

Low salary compared to other companies in the field. They recently gave a raise to their employees, but yet still somewhat considered low. But benefits are awesome.
