Work Experience Means Nothing

Pros

They pay well. Offer additional days off. Bonus program is excellent.

Cons

Previous work experience means nothing. It is all about the diploma/degree and who you know. This means the right people for the job rarely get the job. Working there be prepared for a verbal and physcial assaults and do not expect HR to much if anything. There seems to be rules for some and rules for others.

GDLS-C on the decline

Pros

Good people to work with overall. Interesting product to work with. Vacation time, flex time, and benefits are good for the salary employees. For years this place was a good place to work, with job satisfaction and supportive management, but things started to fall apart around 2016.

Cons

Too many bureaucratic processes to work through. No acknowledgement from management levels that you even exist, let alone did a good or bad job. Once you are in a position, almost impossible to move around. Bad staff development & training. Too many make work projects are added onto to the normally busy workloads. Poor morale in the past few years, and getting worse. Have been losing customers and major contracts for a few years now. They let contract staff go after a year or so. Salary layoffs are more frequent now but does not make the news. Lots of people retiring early or quitting, so many that they have less to layoff. Sinking ship feeling as the work is almost completed and there is no reason to really keep the place open when GD locations in Ottawa &/or U.S. can cover things. Still shipping vehicles to Saudi and not getting paid, can't pay suppliers properly. Attempts to get new CDN orders to shore things up keep failing.

Pros

After 20+ years here, there are no positives. This company has sucked the life from me.

Cons

Toxic environment from the top down. People live in constant fear of being fired or laid off. 50 salaried heads let go this week because management has no clue how to run a business. The model used from 50 years ago being spoon fed work has long passed yet the ones in charge stand out front with their hand out trying to keep the lights on.
