Pros

Good pay for management employees. But pay isn't everything. I honestly can't think of may reasons to work for Shaw.

Cons

Long hours, no recognition, old school management mentality. Upper management call hourly folks "EE's". Large separation and disconnect between the front office and the floor. Department managers definitely have their favorites and ass kissing is in full effect here. Lots of unwritten rules concerning vacation and sick-days. The work itself is mind-numbing...for hourly and management employees. Horrible work-life balance...two on two off three on two off. It goes on and on. Professional relationships between supervisors is unnecessarily strained and overly-competitive.

Pros

Shaw offers a lot of opportunities for growth, great work life balance, very flexible, and has great values.

Cons

Very hard to get pay bumps / raises due to not having a standard annual review. They use "pay for performance" which allows them to dictate WHEN you receive a raise. Even if you're going above and beyond you really have to document every little thing you do here to argue for a raise.
