Pros

No union is a plus; the annual Christmas party is paid for by the company including alcohol; the shop is clean, bright and mostly air conditioned; a lot of good people to work with; decent communication from above about corporate goals and progress; strong focus on safety.

Cons

Comparatively low pay for almost every job function, especially while touting "competitive compensation"; below average benfits; "Americanized" style management meaning the bottom line is all that matters; the work force is treated with contempt; management is very cliquish and does nothing to hinder favouritism; high turnover in a number of job functions due to pay, politics lack of repsonse by management to concerns; archaic computing technology (Windows XP and Office 97); management that likes to pidgeon hole people;

Pros

There are still many dedicated employees across the organization who care deeply about the work, customers, and results. Historically, the company benefited from strong institutional knowledge and a collaborative environment that supported operational success.

Cons

In recent years, there has been a noticeable shift in culture and organizational approach following senior leadership changes. This included significant turnover and restructuring that affected both personnel and established processes. As a result, many long-standing practices and experienced team members were replaced or deprioritized quickly, and in some cases without fully retaining institutional knowledge that previously supported efficiency and consistency. This transition has contributed to a decline in morale and trust among portions of the workforce. Communication and employee engagement have also felt more top-down, and the organization has, at times, felt more disconnected from the operational teams who execute the day-to-day work.
