Pros

A very good company overall. They do quality work and are professionally run. It is a stable company in an industry that has a lot of shaky companies. They have very good benefits, and the company leadership places a priority on being an employer of choice.

Cons

It can be a 'cliquey' environment, with some of the senior leaders favouring people who tell them what they want to hear. They've had 4 Presidents in the past 8 years - with the one from 8 years ago now president again.

Work a lot. And the weather in Michigan is cold. I have to wear lots of coats and bundle up all the time.

Pros

decent pay, SEEMS like an evolved pleasent company, SEEMS like. they pay to fly you to holiday parties, that kind of old fashioned "were a family" kind of vibe.

Cons

got laid off, went in one day and BOOM, your gone. "were going in a new direction" and no other communications. thats it. if they can do it to me, an exempt guy, they can do it to anyone. I suspect that is the true nature of AECON. Nice maple syrup canadian veneer, but just another pipe-hittin construction company just like a lot of others.
