Pros

It was my experience you do have a lot of opportunity to learn and get exposed to practices and procedures. They do leave the door open to get industry certifications for free which is great. My immediate supervisor was as good as it could get but he can't save a poorly run company.

Cons

The company is struggling to keep contracts and stay relevant. This leads to turmoil and inconsistency. The upper management has been anti field service tech while trying to reduce costs. They've added more chiefs to explore other areas at the expense of field service. I put 40k miles on my vehicle working for them in this last year. Tenured employees get more vacation time than any new employees will ever get. There is no upward mobility, no raises, and if you apply for a lateral position they may not even interview you.

Pros

Ability to work from home is available if you work in project management. Some perks may include cell phone, and laptop - but, that may also mean that you would have to work more hours. Benefits are reasonable.

Cons

I have worked for both small companies and large companies alike and I have always received a small yearly increase and potentially bonuses. Working on projects, I was hugely responsible in securing a huge government project and resulting into a 3 person team increasing to over a dozen in my team alone, not including other employees added to our sub-contractors and even internal employees in different departments. I have seen many empty promises and under-qualified and unprofessional people being hired on my team. Even though I exceeded expectations on my work, I have yet to see a raise after 4 years of working here. Obviously upper management believe in reaping the reward from other people and letting them continually suffer. There is a severe lack of accountability, responsibility, and lack of good work ethic. To say that I am disappointed with this company, would be an understatement. They have sucked the life out of me and there is little opportunity for career advancement and they pay way below market standards.

Pros

*More autonomy than most jobs, mostly because management and other co-workers -- who are often temps -- do not get sufficient training if any at all. Like many companies, they praise a deprecated knowledge base as their godsend, but in fact rarely works, and has extremely outdated help. *Benefits firsts day for some new hires *Most co-workers are good

Cons

*Management could give a rat's behind what you do, even if you have to lie, to get the job done. My manager, and their manager, seemed to care less about if things were done ethically and by the book -- as they state they want. *Most of their workers are temps, and most have english as a second language, and have trivial job experience. They are mostly hired because they are seemingly desperate, but not too desperate, as to not be a liability and risk of fraudulent activity as the management is. You will often hear them speaking in their native tongue, and often I have been told, these people are mollycoddled because management is afraid of retribution from these people, but not native born Canadians. *Pay is poor, mostly because they have not had regular raises in many years, and since many good people were terminated, or left the company, this has had a downward pressure on wages along with the desperate foreign-born workers. *There is little to no career advancement unless you play pocket pool with management on the weekends. *It is not shocking that this company gets so high profile clients, because lying seems to be the name of the game, and quality of product is not valued anymore -- or if it ever was. *They say they are a progressive company, but still have management practices from the 1950s when people were mostly unskilled labor. Their immature management style is, and still, leading to quality people, and eventually clients leaving. *They have been caught rigging the SLA system on a variety of clients to cover-up for management mistakes, which they blame on employees. As I said, they still operate as though they are in the 1950s. * "Terminate them with a smile" * You speaking an in-demand language like French will not help you, as they treat them the same as they treat the temporary workers.
