Pros

Decent pay versus industry competition. Great opportunities for career advancement. Entrepreneurial atmosphere for those who embrace it. Follows many of the strong points documented in Jim Collins' book "Good to Great". Good benefits, good standard vacation offering.

Cons

A lack of diversity in clientelle bit the company hard when the oil industry changed for the worst. There still remains a lack of attention in seeking growth outside of the core industries, however that is changing. During the last 2 years, Long View underwent some difficult times, lost many good people and some true colours were shown by middle management, which has been a let down. Aside from this all, the core values of the company remain the same and an upswing will return Long View to its roots as a top-north service, product and support company.

Pros

Large Canadian presence and solid leadership from the top, but not so much in the Sales org

Cons

No marketing or demand generation makes it very hard on the sales team. Middle managers/VPs can be toxic depending on your location. No cohesion across departments.
