Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at ATCO full-time for more than a year
Pros
- Competitive to adopt new ideas as the company is in a stalemate with competitors. - They're stock has been growing as of global trends so they're at least on par - not really now that they're affected by the global viral outbreak, so this is a moot point
Cons
- "Just get it done" attitude by management giving few to no care in detail from actual heavy lifters - Management spiderweb so dense, there's more management spinning make-work than actual workers - You can expect the same typical company culture, events, social promotional things from this as any other large company which does not make them stand out

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at ATCO full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
Salary and benefits are decent
Cons
ATCO makes money in spite of itself. The culture of nepotism and bullying from the very top influences every decision. It is inappropriate for the Chair of the Board to also be the CEO. If a proper CEO was in place, so much unnecessary and pointless work and micromanaging, done to please the owner and her irrational whims, could be avoided.

I have been working at ATCO full-time
Pros
Good work environment, beautiful head office, decent work/life balance
Cons
Benefits aren't as good - most are employee-paid, so negotiate a higher base salary when joining because you will see a lot of deductions. Middle management is inefficient, does not communicate effectively and there is no accountability.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at ATCO full-time for more than 5 years
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.
