      Pros

      nothing, I would say get out ASAP or don't take the job nothing, I would say get out ASAP or don't take the job

      Cons

      pay is really low, they don't care about employees, they just care about max profits. they take advantage of immigrants paying them as little as possible because they know they need a job ASAP to support their families even thought most of the time are overqualified for the job.

      Pros

      It was close to home, good benefits, very kind boss who gave credit where credit was due, simple work and work related programs.

      Cons

      A questionable co-worker (higher management) who went as far as sitting outside my home at night and was pushy about wanting to enter a romantic relationship. He silenced me from speaking with the manager by threatening my job and reputation.

      Pros

      Aecon provided me the opportunity to work on interesting projects. Benefits included RRSP contributions, a share purchase plan and dental insurance.

      Cons

      Effectively all promotion in this division is done on the basis of who one knows or is related too, ie. if an employee is not connected to one of two or three families they can expect not to be promoted and never to have any choice in assignments. There is a disconnect between the head office and job sites. Salaries are low by industry standards Training and professional development are very poorly approached. There is a lack of uniformity between standards of the various managers, some are great while others are unsupportive and very difficult to work with.
