Suncor Reviews

The people are amazing and respectful. The environment is supportive. The values are safety. There are TONS of opportunities at Suncor and they encourage and help you try new roles to round you out and find what you like best. Suncor is really a wonderful place to work.

Please keep up the good work of enlightening student's experience

Pros

Lot's of great people and opportunity to move to different areas of the company if you are a self starter and motivated to make connections yourself.

Cons

It can be very difficult to move up to a leadership position and leadership gets little to no training on how to be effective. The rating system depends solely on how much your leaders like you and whether they are willing to take the time to understand what you do.

Advice to Management

Be more forthcoming with employees on their succession plans. Improve the employee rating system.

Pros

Good bonus and compensation

Cons

Generally remote work locations long hours to commute

Advice to Management

More support required for mid level managers

Pros

Largest energy company in Canada, laid back front line workers, mostly good people you work with. Gain great experience in oilsands. Potential for great career oppurtunitites.

Cons

Management always asks for more with less, unrealistic expectations. Department is too leaned out, employees are overworked as a result. Employees not fairly performance reviewed/lots of politics involved in determining raises/promotions. Company has an unofficial policy of not moving employees within Suncor out of Fort McMurray before 8 years of service in oil sands, can feel stuck in position/department and management...

Advice to Management

Treat fort mcmurray differently as it needs to be, the city will never be like Calgary or Toronto no matter how much you try to make it feel. Improve work life balance for employees living in this region and let go of the leash you have on them in fort mcmurray, there is a lot of skills/expertise in your people that would still be beneficial to the company in other locations.

Pros

good people good people good people

Cons

travel to remote locations travel to remote locations
