Stay away!

Pros

Benefits package and that's about it.

Cons

Toxic and high turnover work environment; bureaucratic with focus on personality instead of commitment and accountibility. Narcissistic and paranoid senior management with low emotional intelligence that will do anything to protected their high paid jobs. Very inconsistent rulebook and lack of transparency unless you have prior affiliation. You will experience belittlment, gossip, and underminment of your efforts by vindictive coworkers. Stay away if you are a construction or development professional that does not want to be just another brick in the wall. You've been warned!

Pros

Great company with lots of excellent projects on the go. They are going through a strong growth period and as a result there is some growing pains, but they are trying to work through the issues. Friendly employees for the most part and good working conditions.

Cons

Heavy workloads, senior management team do not always seem to be in sync. Sense some tension amongst the team.

Hello, Thank you for the review! Although this review is from 4 years ago we still want to respond as there has been a lot of changes since then. In the past 4 years Century Group has grown quite significantly and our Senior Leadership Team has seen some changes. Our monthly office meetings are a great way that the company shares information about different areas of the business. Also we use a company intranet called Jostle to share company updates, events, and job postings so that staff at all our sites can stay up to date on anything that is changing. There have also been quite a few improvements to make the company work more efficiently including new software systems and different technology advancements led by our IS team. With all these changes Century Group has managed to maintain the pros that you identified 4 years ago. We still have great staff (even more now), a new beautiful office space in New Westminster, and lots of projects on the go!

Pros

Nice office, close to New Westminster Skytrain.

Cons

Awful management. Throw tons of work without providing any training and clear directions. Expect subordinates to finish without any questions!
