Pros

Very clean shop, with big focus on safety, some very good people to work with, good Christmas party (free).

Cons

Lower than average pay, poor benefits, "bottom-line" management focus to the point that employees are made to feel like consumables; politics entirely focused on self-preservation especially in front line and middle management; too many "yes" managers who won't stand up for their employees.

Pros

The work is interesting and can be challenging at times. The people are great to work with. The company is well structured and there is job security. They are also very accommodating with work/life balance.

Cons

They do not pay their employees well on the shop floor. The office staff are over paid, the real work is done by reworks staff and technicians and the pay should reflect that. This has always baffled me.

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;
