Pros

- Large company. - Good benefits. - Lots of educational/learning opportunities.

Cons

- Pay is not competitive. - Little room to advance (have to wait for someone to retire or quit). - Communication amongst divisions is completely lacking. - Time spent with the company was overall a good experience except for senior management and their desire to put their own needs ahead of their employees. If you spend any amount of time there you will quickly realize that it's all about the profit at the expense of work/ilfe balance, pay, opportunites, etc. - Still an 'old boys club' company.

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.
