Pros

-Benefit package is the best which include DCPP where they match up to 5% contribution to your pension and Employee Share Purchase Plan where they give you 30% the value of the stock you purchase. -A lot of knowledgeable individuals. -Site personnel usually friendly to work with and will teach you as you go.

Cons

-Unless you know someone or are someone's son or daughter it will be very hard to progress, several unqualified people are in roles they cannot perform. -Competition pays more. -Aecon going internal changes which have not been adequately addressed, this leaves a lot of sad and demoralized employees who feel left out and uncertain about their future in the company. -Too many long hours for the backpay, e.g. regular construction hours are 60 hours week average.

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.
