Pros

- Office conveniently close to Millenia Mall - Standard Benefits Package

Cons

- Management severely understated how much of a lack of structure there was in their accounting department and in the company in general - Almost no communication about progression and growth - No training to speak of or even any general communication as to expectations during the first 2 months of my tenure there - Senior leadership extremely disrespectful when giving "constructive criticism" calling people and their work "garbage", "waste of time" and "useless". - Would go days with no direction or clear set of expectations as to our month end cycle until there was a mistake made. - There didn't seem to be a clear communication between manager and leadership in which multiple emails would be sent in a vague manner but would all be essentially for the same thing so a separate reply would have to be sent for each. - Controller complained for "unnecessary" words in email like "Per my review" and "I believe" as he called them "unnecessary garbage" and "waste of my time" to read. -Essentially trained my co-workers during my first month of my tenure as to the accounting software as manager was not present for their training. All of this while I was still learning the system.

Pros

Pay is ok, there are a few fun and kind people, exposure to many construction sites and processes in the geotechnical business, learned how to write great reports

Cons

Unorganized systems, no proper training course, disorganized management, no communication from management, false sense of growth and success from corporate, no bonuses, slow days are very slow and you often have to lie on your time sheet, no professional development goals to work towards, over time is promised in the interview but then not offered, help with PE courses is promised and then not offered, schedule is subject to change at literally any moment (even before you wake up) and you're expected to be available 24/7, WEEKEND WORK, OVERNIGHT WORK sometimes have to travel 2.5hrs+ to sites
