Pros

Company culture, training, people, values

Cons

They say you don't have to complete the 4 month probationary period if you reach the set numbers for two weeks in a row. I met those numbers in my first two weeks of work, and have continued to reach them. I received an offer letter for a full-time position and even PTO. I still have yet to have been brought on as a full time employee - MEANING, they send me home when there isn't enough work (everyday). I had to use my PTO days last week to ensure a decent paycheck for my family. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. No employee should have to use their PTO just to ensure an 8hr work day. I work on average 4hrs/day. Some days, I drive the 40 minutes to work, and get told there isn't work and am sent home. I have spoken to my union steward AND superintendent about the issue and have continued to be told that I am next on the list to be hired on. This shows very poor management. If I wanted to work a part-time position, I would have applied somewhere that was offering that. Instead, I applied here to work full time + overtime (what was promised) and am really working a mere 25hrs/week if I'm lucky.

Pros

Some good people work here

Cons

It Management team has been together for years and resists any change. 100% top down. Personal initiative is not overly welcome. Too many of the less senior managers know nothing practical.
