Pros

If you want to work on PEI you don't have many choices. Cavendish Farms is one choice. Try to get a unionized position that offers day time hours.

Cons

Robert Irving believes in selecting Type A personalities via a predictive index assessment, then places them all in a cramped office environment, and then comes and cleans house every few years to see who has survived. He supports local maritime employees, but brings in people from away to glean knowledge from. Once he has received said knowledge he discards the employees without much regard to the impact on the employees life. This fosters an environment where employees are afraid of their employer (the only game in town), and they are constantly trying to protect their job, by trying not to share their proprietory information so that they are a vital part of the operation. This was the worst place that I have ever worked.

Pros

People are, for the most, part friendly and approachable.

Cons

Disorganization is rampant. Onboarding was terrible, and I didn't get everything I was promised in my offer. Zero discipline in the workforce. Zero accountability for continually making the same mistakes. Impossible to be responsible for a process over which there is zero control. Union are only out to serve the most senior members. They say they're interested in safety - but actions speak louder than words!
