Pros

Global company with adequate training resources, good local teams to work with outside of Mississauga/Brampton.

Cons

Low pay (indexed to Toronto), and the most political workplace you'll ever experience. Promotions, bonuses, terminations entirely based on who the directors and HR like. Insecure, petty and childish behavior among directors, VP, and President. Many of the good, experienced employees have left.

Pros

Provided unlimited safety equipment, ie gloves, ear plugs etc and new boots every year. They have a good benefits package with good health insurance. They work with you when situations come up. They'll give you opportunities for advancement. They literally bend over backwards for you. If you can't make it there, you need to do a little self reflection.

Cons

The only one I can think of is what happened to us. They'll sell out to a 3rd party company and your out of a job.

Pros

Good office location, nothing else that I can think of.

Cons

US Office: Favoritism, an unethical leadership culture within the Spanish leadership team, violations of the code of conduct by leaders themselves, and a lack of soft skills in leadership. Actions are being driven by personal preferences and grudges held by Spanish leaders rather than professionalism and fairness. HR department is just a joke.
