Pros

get your benefits and 3-4 weeks vacation right at the start. although be careful! they want to know what you are taking your vacation for and might not like it or let u!

Cons

Worked in the western Canadian Team (not BC) Manager would constantly tell us one thing but tell his boss another (ie. outright lie). This was not one time but multiple and was very hurtful. His boss doesn't care about what you might have to say because you are wrong, always. No matter what. He always, always, always sides with his right-hand man. It's as if my feelings and opinion and the truth doesn't really matter. The folks still working there says it's all the same but worse. our manager has gotten way farther out of hand. They could probably do with just the manager from BC overlooking the entire west as he has Truemanagement experience that could really help the team.

Pros

Great conditions and pretty engaging workplace. Great compensation salary-wise. Good managerial staff. Great autonomy.

Cons

Working hours are the only thing that are not great but you are warned in advance. The rotating shifts can be a pain for out-of-work planing. We get our schedules 1 week in advance which isn't great for planning.

Pros

This company may work for those early in their careers, but it’s not sustainable long-term. There is an implicit expectation to work extended hours to keep up with demands, and a lot of your weekends often involve preparing for the week ahead due to constantly changing priorities. This pace leads to rapid burnout hence the reason it's not a viable option long-term. While peak workloads are common in most businesses, this company operates at that intensity year-round. While not always the case, leadership occasionally makes uncertain or delayed decisions often driven by fear or their limited experience which does contribute to the instability. Many who remain do so mainly for the competitive pay and benefits or their title rather than a sustainable work environment.

Cons

No work life balance Lacks real support for critical areas Unstable environment for long term career
