Pros

Office culture is OK. They try to have events and everyone is fairly friendly and approachable when you need help A stepping stone into tech where you can learn a lot Good contracts, sometimes short-term but can lead to long-term employment and possibly being hired out to the place you work at Pay is OK. From what i understand PLATO individuals are sort of separate from PQA before the merge but those of us in the apprenticeship program have not received even 75% of the promised salary yet and even this is below the industry standard and even a living wage

Cons

I have had manager changes due to restructuring and did not receive much communication or help at the minimum Communication is always a miss when trying to figure out access, time logging or who to talk to when it comes to managers at PLATO or contracts One leader in particular treated one of my indigenous colleagues like he was a criminal in the office and made him uncomfortable when he was nowhere near his belongings but would mention he was afraid of missing something because of this individual This same leader for some reason has a certain ring tone on his phone that he would let play especially when my indigenous coworkers around before

Pros

My coworkers are great people who I enjoy working with.

Cons

Don't expect a livable wage unless you're one of the higher-ups. This company loves to preach about having Indigenous employees, yet does not give an ounce of respect to them. Truth and Reconciliation day is not even recognized at this company. Last year on this holiday, they had an unfortunate company-wide meeting that did not even discuss the importance of Truth and Reconciliation day. We (Indigenous employees) are just numbers to this company. If I could leave this job I would. Living paycheck to paycheck and STILL being in the overdraft and short on rent is not ideal. Pay your employees better, I have already started looking for better options. Save your time and find a better company that will respect you and your efforts. This place isn't it.
