Pros

The only pros to working for this company are the money, health benefits, and a schedule that you know well in advance.

Cons

Poorly run company with weak and unfair management. American employees are favorited whereas Canadians are mistreated and undervalued. Safety is preached but takes a back burner over production and to meet deadlines.
