Pros

General philosophy is good - mirrors the parent company entity in Canada. Some good employees who make it bareable.

Cons

Long hours. I have worked in Construction for a while and sure hours happen, but they usually happen at critical times in a project and people on the team usually help you out on slow days by letting you go early. Not here. They schedule projects with the assumption you will be working 14 hour days, 7 days a week, with absolutely no flexibility/compensation. They have weak staff that they retain. Slow to discipline the incompetent, and they do not reward the hardworking. It's a locals club. If you do not fit in, you are not going anywhere. Safety goes out the window big time when schedule requires it to.

Pros

Good starting pay and benefits. Employee owned company

Cons

Nepotism is allowed and encouraged. If not connected, employee does not have any chance to grow with company.
