Pros

Great compensation, in line with local industry. It's a huge business, and feels very professional from the top down. Safety is taken seriously. Great coworkers of all types. Union.

Cons

Work/home balance leans heavily to the work side. It is expected, and anyone who knows this line of work knows that most of your time will be spent at work. Excessive overtime can hurt morale, but most accept that the pay makes time at your second home bearable.

Pros

-Hybrid work option and free parking.

Cons

As a contractor, the expectations were extremely high while the benefits, recognition, and job security were significantly lower compared to full-time employees. Contractors were often expected to handle multiple responsibilities due to constant pressure from upper management to reduce headcount, creating a stressful and draining work environment. Despite proving your value through consistent performance over years, contractors still seemed overlooked for growth opportunities. In some cases, employees with only a few months of tenure were promoted into full-time roles, while experienced contractors were passed over. There was also a noticeable amount of workplace politics, and at times the culture did not feel fully inclusive or supportive. Compensation was decent, but overall work-life balance, contractor treatment, and career progression opportunities need major improvement
