      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good compensation package. RRSP Plan, medical, dental, optical. Well known company in industry.

      Cons

      Talking of the Toronto Canada site, and to a small extent the Houston site.. Company stuck in 1960s when oil was king. Politics and backstabbing abound (lots in Toronto). Each year new people are brought in and then let go, because the old guard is too busy protecting their empire. Nothing changes for the better, the same norm to protect personal empires, regardless of outcomes for the business (Eg: lost business, only low margin contracts). Head office remote in Houston is powerless due to distance. No matter how tough head office gets, it’s obvious the white collar workers are more dispensable than the poisonous shop supervisors. ie: lots of scapegoating of office staff. This company is owned by the BIGGEST Climate Change Denyers in the Republican backers.

      Doesn't walk the talk

      Pros

      Some good people working there

      Cons

      No diversity. All run from Wichita - very much an old boys club. Culture is not embodied in other locations like it says. Doesn't reward at market level outside of Wichita.
