Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Black & McDonald full-time for more than a year
Pros
The electricians in the field are lots of fun
Cons
unethical/ corrupt/decietful/ no safety ethics and try to bury them!!! after a severe health issue while at work, they didn't want to pay medical so found 1 PO in 2 years issued incorrectly so they could let me go with cause!!!!! PM and VP are always hiding unethical and corrupt behaviour for each other. Superintendant uses intimidation to try to skirt safety policy. Teaches employees how to cheat the D&A tests. As the only female in my division, i wasn't paid the equivelant, although went over and above my job duties, got no mileage, fuel or compensation for the extras.
