Pros

Great pay, great exposure to technical experience, strong focus on safety great benefits, and some really good people

Cons

Shrinking presence in Canada, leading to a limited number of opportunities. The constant downsizing, focus on reducing cost, and restructuring has left employees wary. Plus a constant "re-inventing of the wheel" with new ways of working, new processes and new management styles
