Pros

Finning has recently made a number of positive changes to drive attraction and retention of employees, including commitments to building a more inclusive and diverse workplace, offering respect training, providing options for remote work to allow for greater flexibility and work life balance and is developing customer focused strategies that are grounded in technology and innovation using data. The quality of people who work at Finning are its greatest asset and the main reason why I go to work every day.

Cons

As with any other commodity driven company, we are subject to economic forces beyond our control, which means we need to operate a lean and agile organization. This sometimes means workforce downsizing or impacts to match market needs. Another challenge facing the company is aging workforce and being able to attract the next generation at Finning, as our reputation of being a more innovative company is not yet out in the public realm.

Pros

Good and hard working employees for the most part, standard industry benefits and great business model for growth

Cons

Many changes within BP&S team in the past few months without leadership or strategic approach; Hiring and keeping expensive contractors instead of keeping knowledgable employees. The CIO acts as a bully and there is no oversight on his costly decisions and the chaos he has created. He was given the ultimate authority by the past leadership team and since they have left Finning, the new leadership team has not assessed CIO’s negative impact and outcomes so far. Moral is low and BP&S employees seem lost while the new CIO brings in more of his people on high paid roles and contracts.
