Pros

Food available all day ! Great team work between management team. Action all day long... You cannot fall asleep !

Cons

No salary increase in 8 years for management. Low benefits, losses of benefits over time. Unionized employees have better benefits than management. 24h / 7 day schedule, 365 day per year. Need to work every holidays. NO recognition by head office. No human focus from the company. Lucky to have a GM that takes care of us.
