      Good place to learn

      Pros

      Canadian Solar provides a casual work environment and mostly friendly and diverse team. Hours are flexible and usually no overtime is required. A good place to learn and a good co-op experience but job becomes boring after a while and you'll want to move on.

      Cons

      Bad management. Managers have no obligation to align the needs of the company and the wants of the employees. Bad planning and decisions made by management is often questionable. Corporate restructuring is common and employee loyalty is non existent. People are always late for meetings.

      Pros

      - Amazing team members that pull together to accomplish a common goal...we no longer have challenges with team members that simply say, "...that's not my job..." but instead, work with each other to figure out solutions - Improvements are continuously being made around the structure and overall culture, including the development of our management team to successfully set them up to support and guide the team members they lead, and employee morale - Tremendous success and accomplishments made by the overall team, providing a feeling of satisfaction in the work I do

      Cons

      - With any successful organization or business unit, some structures around processes and systems are not as sophisticated or developed; however, there are initiatives in place with the right people to lead them, making a change - Had the feeling of not being appreciated; however, this has changed in the past 2 months with new leadership in place and efforts being put forth to implement the changes - At certain times of the year, we pull very long hours and are pushed to capacity, but that comes with success and at the end of the day, we are rewarded for our hard work
