Pros

Good people to work with

Cons

Company lacks good direction and ends up in a trap of just breaking even instead of advancing forward. As a result continual staff reductions take place.

Hi there, thanks for taking the time out to share your thoughts on your short time with us. We are glad that you enjoyed working with the team that you did! However, we're sorry that you weren't able to have a better understanding of our direction and vision. We had hoped that you would have talked to your Manager or PS Advisor about your concerns while you were with us. If you are interested in having a conversation with us still, please call our Director of People Services at 403-515-6900. Thanks for your contribution while you worked at Long View and we wish you the best of luck in your career!

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on your time at Long View. It's great that you have a positive outlook on our company's future, approve of our CEO and enjoyed working with the many talented and intelligent people that we are very proud to have on our team! We are disappointed to hear that you felt that your manager didn't care about you; this is where your People Services Advisor could have worked with you regarding your concerns while you were still employed with us. We certainly have diversified our industry focus over the last couple of years and are continuing to work on this moving forward. Thank you for the time you spent with us and best of luck in your career!

Pros

Decent pay versus industry competition. Great opportunities for career advancement. Entrepreneurial atmosphere for those who embrace it. Follows many of the strong points documented in Jim Collins' book "Good to Great". Good benefits, good standard vacation offering.

Cons

A lack of diversity in clientelle bit the company hard when the oil industry changed for the worst. There still remains a lack of attention in seeking growth outside of the core industries, however that is changing. During the last 2 years, Long View underwent some difficult times, lost many good people and some true colours were shown by middle management, which has been a let down. Aside from this all, the core values of the company remain the same and an upswing will return Long View to its roots as a top-north service, product and support company.

You are correct in saying that Long View went through a difficult year in 2015, however we are using what we learned during that tough year to make us stronger as a company moving forward, and our core values remain at the heart of all the choices we make. Thank you for the detail you provided in your Advice to Management section of your review - we will absolutely take your observations to heart. Thank you for being here!
