Pros

The people are technically competent, helpful and friendly There's not a lot of politics, everyone is focused on doing good work

Cons

Very slow career progression - senior after 7 years is the standard Not much career advancement within the departments Downturn has resulted in all professional development programs to be halted, the company doesn't even pay for submissions of ECCs to get chartered status! (it's only $880...) Very pessimistic overall mood Lots of restructures in the past few years, results unclear Wages have barely grown for the past 3 years.

Regional Management was great, provided excellent support and growth.

Cons

Our sites Plant Manager wasn’t the best. Typical warehouse environment, long hours, no AC, micromanagement, mandatory Overtime due to production needs. Mandatory Saturday and Sunday shifts. Mandatory 15-20 hour shifts at the drop of a dime Pay needs to be improved for the type of work
