Pros

Decent compensation, good benefits, paycheck deposited on time all the time. General staff and teams are great people from great backgrounds and easy to work with. Flexibility for life events and schedules. Compensation for extended camp stays.

Cons

Senior mgmt. in woodlands is of the "old culture" and promoted to position through time invested, not qualifications. Mgmt. act with low integrity and do not honor agreements or commitments to lower-level staff. Lots of false promises. Expectations of time committed to the company are unreasonable. Little to no acknowledgement of quality jobs or extra efforts by mgmt. Appears that the only way to move up in Company is to brown nose senior mgmt and sacrifice personal life. New ideas are either thrown out in favor of old 'ruts' or stolen without acknowledgement. Employees expected to drive broken down pickups from the 90's and early 2000's yet management wonders why production always lags. Safety leadership is in lip service only. Mgmt. view costs as blockade to improving safety. Discipline notices for incidents = culture tendency to leave unsafe issues unreported. Company tenure is only on remote locations on BC coast, requiring lots of camp work.
