Pros

Some people are good at their jobs. Pay is average for positions.

Cons

A culture of "don't give bad news to managers" leads to bad decisions. Major cut to bonuses despite great revenue year and stock price. I guess Exec bonuses are more important than compensating staff per their offers (total compensation included end of year bonuses, don't sign on if you can't live on the base salary, bonuses can't be counted on even if you have great performance) Complete lack of consideration for work/life balance.

Pros

-A feeling of "we're in this mess together" from your fellow mechanics -Most days are 8hrs

Cons

-Equipment isn't being maintained; Broken air lines, leaking pressurized water, broken doors, broken lifts, broken cranes/controls, cracked jigs, dangerous company vehicles -If you injure yourself, management will do an investigation(find a way to put you at fault) before providing health care. Broken limbs? Severe cuts? Concussions? Tough luck buddy you're gonna have to spend a few hours in an office before finding yourself a ride because we don't want to call you an ambulance -If you file safety hazards, you become a prime target for harrassment by management -Tools aren't being provided, and you're found with a fabricated tool or a tool you've brought from home, you are brought in for investigation and potential suspention -Training isn't provided; you are thrown on the job and hopefully you figure it out -Management has no clue about work scopes and timelines; they breathe down your neck the whole shift because some bean counter told them a 4hr job takes 10minutes -If you miss a defect(because you are forced to cut corners) and it causes a train delay, you betcha that's a suspension -The union at the national level supports the company more than their members -Bloat in work responsibilities; I'm a mechanic, an electrician, an IT technician, a radio technician, a diesel service assistant, a labourer, and a hostler. Yet my pay is dwarfed by what I can make in other industries
