Pros

Good wages and benefits. RRSP's are better than most

Cons

Every district will have its own culture, but the district in Kitchener, ONT, Canada was a downright horrible experience, If you enjoy walking on eggshells each shift and going home ridden with anxiety than perhaps this is the place for you. Management will use and manipulate you and treat like garbage. It is almost amusing to them. Now if you fit in with their little clique you will be treated like gold face to face, but believe me the backstabbing two face acts apply to everyone. Now if you are an unstable person they will love you and treat you like some sideshow for their enjoyment. Never have I been involved with such a toxic and unprofessional work environment You better have thick skin if you want to work here, or you will get eaten alive by both management and employees

Bad Company

Pros

The management was decent, but everything else lacked.

Cons

There are too many to list, but for starters, the trucks. The trucks they give you not only put your life at risk daily, but they don't have the money to fix them. Until you put your foot down and refuse to drive the POS they give you, your truck will never get fixed. Even when they do get fixed, something else is wrong with them almost immediately.
