Walker Group FAQ

I work for Walker Group since 2012 and for me, it's the best place to work ever because they have a family minding first, their support for us is awesome and this company is well structured. I like working when i know clearly what i have to do and their support for us is amazing.

Maybe should be have more support in French language because Quebec province is an expansion. We don't have any pension fund, maybe later in futur :)

Your colleagues are incredibly friendly. The fact this is a family enterprise influences how the company feels; it feels like a big family right down to Christmas parties in the founder's home. The company is small enough so you can make a huge impact if you want it. The group is comprised of multiple sub-companies who all collaborate but who also have a diverse portfolio of products - that means there's always opportunities to learn something new. The company is stable - we've been going since 1968 so we're here to stay. Some of the sub-companies have been around since the start and some are brand new, so you get the stability that comes with long-term success plus the experience and mentorship from folk who've been succeeding at this for a long time. You also get the entrepreneurial spirit that comes with some of the newer sub-companies working like start-ups with a 'skunk-works' mentality. We have Oscar, the office dog. The Vancouver office is right on the beach and we're 'beach casual'. There's a roof terrace with a bar, a BBQ, an organic vegetable garden and ping pong table.

Keep reminding everyone about the cool things that are going on here. Sometime you forget to shout about our achievements. Don't underestimate the importance of regularly speaking to the whole room...doesn't need to be formal; just stand up on a chair and shout! Communicate broadly... don't be afraid of overloading people with information. And expect even more... people stay here for a long time because we enjoy working with you guys...don't be afraid to motivate us a littler harder sometime. More summer rooftop events. please!

My original response was "none" which was not enough characters for this field. My new answer is also "none".

The Walker Group provides a very pleasant and nurturing work environment. Management is always supportive and the company encourages a great work/life balance.

Since the company is small there is not a large amount of opportunity to quickly move up the ranks. As the company continues to grow this is sure to change.

Very dynamic, innovative and solutions-based employer, backed up by great team work and supportive corporate culture.

Decision making process cycle could use some trimming.

Embrace alignment but appreciate individual success
