I appreciate that the managers at POWER are pretty fair, and they fight for their employees, at least in my experience. In my previous position at this company, my supervisor fought to get me a wage increase twice after I passed my probation with the employment agency that originally got me the job. I'm very grateful, and when I changed positions to my current one as PMA, I got another wage increase due to my consistent work and I would say the kindness of my former comment and now current, supervisor.
Cons
Some of the positions, like my current one as project manager assistant, can definitely feel siled which can be a challenge if you like to be around people. But overall it is a great company to work for.

Thank you for your review. We're glad you're having a positive experience here at POWER and have a great relationship with your supervisor!
Was a genuinely great place to work. Great people and great culture. It was worth the slightly-lower-than-average pay because work life balance and benefits were great. I enjoyed going to work every day.
Cons
Poor financial decisions from upper management regarding the shareholder program led to the company's demise. Upper management sold out to WSP. Management made millions while long time employees got zilch. As someone else had mentioned, retention bonuses were unfairly distributed. Most people didn't get any retention bonus even if they had been long time employees of the company. It really felt like everyone who wasn't upper management got stabbed in the back. They got their payout then dumped the company. Still stings to this day.
