Pros

-Benefit package is the best which include DCPP where they match up to 5% contribution to your pension and Employee Share Purchase Plan where they give you 30% the value of the stock you purchase. -A lot of knowledgeable individuals. -Site personnel usually friendly to work with and will teach you as you go.

Cons

-Unless you know someone or are someone's son or daughter it will be very hard to progress, several unqualified people are in roles they cannot perform. -Competition pays more. -Aecon going internal changes which have not been adequately addressed, this leaves a lot of sad and demoralized employees who feel left out and uncertain about their future in the company. -Too many long hours for the backpay, e.g. regular construction hours are 60 hours week average.

Pros

Stable Employer with reasonable pay and benefits

Cons

Do not live up to the Work/Life Balance they say they support. When asked when we would see the light at the end of the tunnel for the workload, we were told "There is no light at the end of the tunnel"
