Far from perfect, but we could be.

Pros

- Rewarding work, plenty to learn if you have initiative - You're working in Green Energy. - Great benefits package - Fellow employees are very friendly, any disputes tend to end amicably. - HR is very frank and up front

Cons

- Several personalities in office staff who are either incapable of or unwilling to do their jobs, leading to constant errors that have to be cleaned up afterwards. - Pay is significantly below standard for the work being done (5k -10k per year less than equivalent positions in London) - Key individuals in Guelph are often unavailable or slow to respond when you need their help - Generally disorganized, everyone is scrambling all the time to rush out the next order, cutting corners to meet deadlines. Then we reach the end of an order and 'oh crap', we don't have another lined up so there are layoffs. - Future of the company is very uncertain; no place to raise a family. - Atmosphere has been very doom and gloom recently. - Staffing is stretched so tight now that taking any time off will cause a mess

Pros

Good team. Good people. Room for advancement. Work hard and you can make a difference.

Cons

If you complain a lot or don't like hard work don't come here. Lots of work. Can be hard to keep up with. You will not have 40 hr weeks here. Don't be a whiner or complainer.
