Pros

Employment with a coop is a family friendly environment. The benefits are great and the company as a whole is a great place to work.

Cons

Some communication and training is needed

Run far away!

Pros

Was a good place to work when I first started, but the newness wears off quickly. Pay/benefits are lower based on national avg and other cooperatives. They will say their benefits are so great as the reason why they want to get away with paying you so little. Few good apples here, but good talent is wasted and ideas will go nowhere. Promotions don't happen, but you will get yearly bonus based on performance. Lots of work to keep you busy.

Cons

HR runs AECC. You have to kiss up to HR, otherwise you'll go nowhere. Very cliquey. Lots of favoritism. People care more about what's for lunch and gossiping than working. Be prepared to get thrown under the bus for everything if you're the new person. No teamwork. Most people are 'clock-watchers' and have no enthusiasm for being there. You'll have lots of unnecessary meetings about meetings. No job security; people get fired here on numerous occasions for no real reason just because HR doesn't like that person. People who worked here for 10+ years and some within months of retirement have been fired, yet someone with no job experience, no qualifications, or enthusiasm to even be there will stay just because HR likes that person.

Pros

You'll have plenty to do, and you'll learn a lot in a comfy job. Pretty laid back office environment.

Cons

What's for lunch at the next meeting is more important than employee complaints. Favoritism is rampant, and HR is incompetent. They will try sell you on benefits, and although they are good, you'll be paid less for them.
