Pros

They look after any need I have plus some and are always willing to mentor and answer any questions. I would feel comfortable enough to walk up to the President of my division and ask him almost anything.

Cons

The only con that I've really noticed was based on timing. Construction is more of a summer thing and "shuts down" so to speak in the winter. When you graduate university in the spring and they take you and put you nearly in charge (to a degree) of million dollar projects with minimal training, it's intimidating. Thankfully, past Coordinators have assembled the "Coordinator Bible" to help you through. Once the winter came, I was trained in a lot of things which helped substantially.

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.
