Pros
Large, diverse organization. Many career opportunities. Community minded.
Cons
Unwieldy management structure. Over governed. Free thought was discouraged; seemed like everyone had to agree with Nancy Southern and her cronies. They preach “family” but are ruthless in terminating loyal, long serving staff.

Pros
The people are the pros. I've never worked with such a caring dedicated group of people. I'm so proud of them. The people at ATCO actually go above and beyond the call of duty when it comes to servicing their customers and getting projects executed.
Cons
Improper management of change. Yes, change was required at ATCO, we needed change - but the way it was rolled out was complete chaos. And it continues to be this way with all the feed back we've given them. They need to improve on this.

Pros
Pay and benefits are quite good
Cons
CEO is running the company into the ground, employees don't matter a bit to her. She does all kinds of things her father would never have done. The company has really gone downhill in the last 5 years. Horrible work/life balance, it's just work work work Sold off the power division and screwed over hundreds of people's pensions without a care at all! Company has no values left at all.
