Pros

In a shaky economy, it's still a pay cheque

Cons

This place has been on a downward spiral for years - way before the US company takeover and way before the economy took a turn. Continually cutting people in entry to mid level positions while protecting incompetent leadership. After laying off at least two long term employees with single parent households right before Christmas, they thought it was a good idea to spend 100K+ on a box at the Saddledome. They told everyone no raises or bonuses because of the downturn, but took some nice fat bonuses home for themselves - despite it being a losing year with no significant bids awarded. Clueless HR department ignores harassment complaints. I find it hard to believe anyone would come on this platform and say anything positive about these people. And their lack of success is the proof in the pudding.

Pros

Nothing at all. It's all listed in the cons.

Cons

We were sold off to them from Optimum. Quickly trying to become the worst company in America to work for. They took away our vacation. Our sick time. Our personal time. They took away holidays. Now they are saying that working a holiday is mandatory unless you asked it off 2 weeks before it (they gave notice of that less than a week before it). They monitor wherever you are, doing whatever, soon as that truck moves. You aren't allowed to backup. If you call in two times in a 90 day period, you're in trouble. If it gets to 8 times (the last call in continues it on) you're fired. They overwork you because they are "behind" and you're just expected to work later. We're expected to do more and for less. They even denied our merit raises saying they didn't believe in them. They don't care about your family and wanting to see them. To be able to spend time outside of work. DO NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY IF YOU CAN HELP IT!
