Pros

Good wages and benefits. RRSP's are better than most

Cons

Every district will have its own culture, but the district in Kitchener, ONT, Canada was a downright horrible experience, If you enjoy walking on eggshells each shift and going home ridden with anxiety than perhaps this is the place for you. Management will use and manipulate you and treat like garbage. It is almost amusing to them. Now if you fit in with their little clique you will be treated like gold face to face, but believe me the backstabbing two face acts apply to everyone. Now if you are an unstable person they will love you and treat you like some sideshow for their enjoyment. Never have I been involved with such a toxic and unprofessional work environment You better have thick skin if you want to work here, or you will get eaten alive by both management and employees

Pros

Not many pros. Can’t think of any. People were nice at first but then they all got fired around me. Replaced countlessly.

Cons

If you are not part of “The Foot Hills” then you are already on your way out the door. This is a mafia within the company that lie to the cooperate level employees about wrecks, etc. if you aren’t part of the club and you tell cooperate the truth you get the boot.
