Pros

Nothing good about this place!

Cons

This job was terrible. I would not recommend anyone to work there. You can't plan anything when you get told half an hour before your shift ends that you have to stay 4 more hours. They are not safety oriented at all.

Pros

Good salary and benefits. Enjoyed the type of work and was always learning new things - programs and information on the new products.

Cons

It is unfortunate that the Ottawa office in the west end closed and jobs were now being done in other locations.

Old Guard fiefdoms are still in place.

Pros

New CEO bringing in senior leadership staff that know what a modern company needs to do to be successful. CEO avails himself to anyone as his time permits and he seems to genuinely care about the rank and file employees. The company is moving in the right direction from an operations and quality standpoint.

Cons

Old Guard "Command and Control" type of management style still pervades the company below the surface. Career opportunities are non-existent. Pigeon holes are commonplace management tools.
