Flynn Group of Companies

It's a commercial shop, so you'll mostly be roofing single ply, torch down.
Some of the management is very good, or appears to be. however, one of the workforce managers at the Portland branch, doesn't give a rats hee haw about the workers. i saw someone get laid off  the day after reporting his hours were low, for multiple consecutive weeks and the foreman of that crew happened to be a buddy of the manager. so bye bye employee. "wasn't working out they said", how convenient.

There was also a job that was going under, so they gave this particular employee a chance to run it about halfway through, earn his way to foreman if you will. Well our management got into an argument with theirs. We closed up the job and the next day they fired the kid, so they handed him a job that was a nightmare, and he did what he could being paid about 10 an hour less than what a foreman should make. When it got to be too much for the office to handle they just wrapped up and got rid of him.

They pay pretty well mostly, but make sure and argue for yourself on your initial negotiation. they only give out raises at certain times and its not uncommon to find out someone who is far worse than you negotiated better or vice-versa.

I was so happy to have gotten a job with Flynn. The work they do is awesome, most of the people in the field are awesome, most of the people in the office are awesome. The safety!! The safety is unparalleled to many other construction companies in the area, they actually do put safety first and encourage everyone to speak up when something is unsafe. Roofing is inherently dangerous as it is, however Flynn has an excellent and impeccable safety record. This is for a variety of reasons, but while many companies say safety first, Flynn actually does it. If something needs to take 10 minutes to make it safer it happens, if something needs to take 3 hours to make it safer, it happens. Many foreman are knowledgeable in safety and safety is widely encouraged by all. Employees really don’t feel the need to take unsafe shortcuts.

I worked here for 7 months and acquired field knowledge at a rapid pace. The crews at the time were fun to work with and taught well. The downtrend is that the service manager is what makes or breaks morale and how the week will go. As a service technician, multiple cases of being sent to job sites we were already at and completed a week prior happened frequently. As a result, no work orders were scheduled and a day of pay was lost due to being sent home. There were multiple instances of being told to complete service tickets at locations where proper safety was not or could not be set up. In these instances you were told to either do it anyway or be terminated and they will hire people who will. Overall, a classic case of a wonderful career field ruined by horrible management.

Flynn Group of Companies is by far the best employment opportunity I have ever had. I would have spent the rest of my life with this company if it was an option. Unfortunately, life moved me to the one place they did not have an office. Flynn takes care of their employees and does a great job of being supportive of their employees in all their endeavors. They invest in themselves and their employees to be better in all aspects of business and even personal situations. Additionally, Flynn is the one construction company I know of that invest heavily in the safety of their employees and customers. They mean it when they say there is no cost when it comes to safety and innovation. 

As the title states, the company is great to work for. The benefits, pay, perks, insurance,  and alot of other aspects make Flynn a great company. I've enjoyed my time working for Flynn for years. 

The cons, work life balance is difficult. I do not put blame on upper management  but the job itself. Commericial construction is always changing and the variables stack up. 

If you are looking for a great job that's challenging yet rewarding try to get hired. If stress breaks you down, I would not enter this feid of work. This is pretty typical of construction. Though, Flynn is one of the best subcontractors there are. The work environment is great, love the people. We're all working towards the same goal. 

The service department lacks organization. During the hiring process, they promise 40 hours of work per week along with unlimited overtime. However, once employed, they often fail to provide the guaranteed hours, citing a lack of available work. Additionally, certain employees, including those in foreman positions, are not treated with the respect they deserve. Overall, the workplace environment is unprofessional, and maintaining positive relationships with coworkers can be challenging.  My last week because I had no work, I used my PTO time and they didn't pay me.

Terrible Management at the Baltimore branch. Packing employees in tight offices, with no ability/room to do you job. The desk they provided was Free off craigslist. The pieces didn't belong together but they used bolts to fasten it. Every time you sat down it rocked.  You have enough room for a computer, monitor and keyboard/mouse. No room for looking at prints etc. Building is falling apart like the branch. Extremely poor management and disorganized.

Production Supervisor is one of those "Without me this place would fold" and his "religious beliefs" is the sole reason the place is successful. 
.
Terrible atmosphere. Don't Work Here

This should be a last resort for anyone looking for work in the roofing industry.  The Turn over rate is appalling, the office politics mirrors grade school; both in general roofing knowledge and gossip.  The branch manager has a terribly poor attitude.  You won't be recognized for any achievements, only told to do better.  If you go to HR about any issues they will gaslight you about anything they can find.  Its simply a terrible work environment that none of the upper management cares to recognize.  You will be sold the world but left empty handed.
