Great Company to work for. Travel the world.

Field service representative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

(I work for GDLS-C in London, Ontario) The shop is great, the guys in the shop are amazing to work with. Everyone is patient and always willing to help. Management has your back more often than not. You start as a contractor making a descent wage ($30) but if you work hard and are willing to go the extra mile, they will hire you as a salaried employee ($37+). If you want to travel, there is a huge incentive (per diem can put you over $100K per year) plus you get to travel the world. Nothing but great things to say.

Cons

The shop isn't air conditioned.

Good Pay, Terrible Work Life Balance

Engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

-Competitive pay -Decent benefits -Competitive 401k matching

Cons

-Draconian 'good old boys' mentality about everything -Office workers are now expected to be fully onsite; We sit in Teams meetings at our desks all day -Very low amount of vacation -Removed overtime policy; Now expected to work up to 6 hours a week for free -VERY behind on technology adoption -Open office plan -9hr day minimums plus commuting make work life balance near impossible for somebody with kids or medical care responsibilities. -They barely spend any money to train employees; I worked here over a year without any training in 75% of the tools I was expected to use on a weekly basis. -The US govt as a customer creates a strange customer arrangement that resembles a hostage negotiation for getting even the simpliest information or feedback on a project. -If you dont subject yourself to the VERY invasive SF86 Secret clearance process, you wont ever get far here.
