Pros

Initial culture appeared positive and hopeful.

Cons

- Expect to be discriminated against with a "healthy" mix of poor work-life balance; - Lied about wage during interview; - Lied about duration of work shift & hours, then expected to transition shift into night shift without discussion; - Did not pay for travel (gas or mileage) or provided a bussing service; - Expect to use your personal phone and own data for work purposes; - Expect to pay out of pocket for all your own support courses unique to the specific job; - Expect to bring your own stationary to work; -Fear driven work culture that incite political or workplace goals through emotional manipulation; - On site training was dismal at best due to ergophobia; - Favour economic company savings over fair wage and proper support supplies; - Accepted TOXIC work environment within the immediate office group; - Unsupportive management and leadership; - Expect to be ostracized or ridiculed if you demonstrate any form of positive human nature. - Treatment of injured workers during incident investigations was… disturbing!
