      Great place to work, it is very traditional and that doesn't always appeal to all people.

      I worked at J.D. Irving full-time for less than a year

      Pros

      Working at JDI enhances your knowledge and understanding of real life projects. They have a great team you can be reliable upon. And apart from work, social networking is greatly encouraged with indoor and outdoor activities. It is a safe, stress-free, and sociable place to be.

      Cons

      The Lab. Technicians settle into a routine which I believe makes them very reluctant to "change".
