Pros

Pay is excellent. Challenging environment, and good people to work with to be able to chosen from within a large organization.

Cons

Being a large organization it makes it difficult to get things done through the bureaucracy. The competition for rising up the ladder is fierce.

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.
