Pros

Benefits package is better than average

Cons

Company does not empower employees but instead micromanages them and completely misses the bigger picture. Smart people do not thrive in this organization but people with no common sense do. Billionaire owner is paranoid people are trying to steal from the company and invents processes to stop them doing their job properly. CEO has no power and many of the senior management don’t report to him they report to the owner. They treat suppliers and customers poorly, always pay them late and try to renegotiate deals after they were agreed.

Pros

Competitive wage, benefits, vacation and unionized. Overall a good place to work.

Cons

Can be high risk environment, chemicals, high pressure steam, work at heights and confined spaces sometimes required. Benefits provider Manulife can hard to deal with, our last provider Great West Life was a better provider.
