Pros

Lots of training and education opportunities.

Cons

Advancement is given on a who you know basis. You can sit in the same place for your entire career if you want to. Very hard to get fired. Everything takes a lot of time to do due to redtape and meetings! Old timers are very upset with the change in bonuses. Only the favorites get bonuses now. Young people are coming in just for the training and then going on to other companies.

Working at General Dynamics Canada in Calgary

Pros

Great at balancing work with family life. Vacation time can be taken by the hour or by the day, starting at 3 weeks and gradually increasing to 4 weeks between 5-10 yrs. 1 week off at Christmas and every other Friday off. 37.5 hour work week.

Cons

Depending on the manager, very difficult to get promoted. Company was very focused on the Ottawa location and Calgary employees tended to have to adapt to fit in with the way Ottawa wanted things done, regardless of whether it was feasible for Calgary.

Pros

The compressed work week is definitely one of the best perks of the job. Benefits are comparable to other companies in a similar field.

Cons

Complete lack of communication between workers and middle management. Too many managers with too few workers.
