Pros

People at Canfor often say that it's like a family and it's true. It has a culture like nowhere else I have worked. Lots of opportunity and ability to get involved in exciting company-changing projects, career progression and development programs. If you are willing to jump in and get stuff done, you will be successful (and maybe even have fun) at Canfor.

Cons

Like any company that is changing with the times (or ahead of the times) there is a lot of work to be done. I know the company is working on creating more diversity in the workforce and there is work still to be done at Canfor and across the industry.
