Pros

Starting salary was great, company car, and initially a great management staff. Note I said initially.

Cons

Always looming lay-offs. No communication on any initiatives. Wavering directions from upper management. I was constantly hearing rumors of lay-offs from my first days there and after a while you can't concentrate on anything but figuring out when you were going to get the axe. There was always the potential to fix things, but people are always afraid to pull the trigger on an idea in fear of job loss.

Pros

Great place to work in tandem with other professionals in your trade, always had a feeling of "family" working alongside my peers. We come together when times are tough, this is very rewarding,

Cons

The current economic and geopolitical spectrum have been proving a challenge to this industry as a whole, thankfully we are a resilient outfit with the best people at the helm.

Pros

It is a decent place to work with a steady environment and meaningful day-to-day responsibilities. Overall, it's not a bad company to be a part of if you are looking for stability and purpose in your tasks.

Cons

The internal culture is highly political, and professional advancement often depends more on favoritism than merit. You frequently have to play corporate games and kiss up to management just to get ahead or be noticed.
