Pros

The pay is a bit over average for the role. That's their bait. Benefits used to be good, but not anymore

Cons

Finning has a name for hiring people at full speed, and then letting them go as their knee jerk reaction to any fluctuation in the value of their share. I was told just before joining them: "Don't do it, they are heartless", and...I didn't listen. 4 years later, after my best performance ever in a company I was let go for no reason, exactly what I was told was going to happen before joining. It was not only me, lots of people from Senior VPs, VPs, Managers, Professionals, not Professionals, you name it all out. Some other large companies do it, I know, what is abnormal is Finning's criteria: if you are not part of the political game of your boss or his boss, you become a target. In good times, they will promise you everything to get you hired. When times get thought, Managers ensure their continuity by keeping around their best political friends...you and your family can take a hike! Beware and listen, I didn't do it and I paid for it!!

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.
