Pros

Great people work at the company and all start out very enthusiastically! Training offered was great. Team work at the grass roots level was solid. A great first job for many and career progression is great.

Cons

The CEO only listens to the CFO which provides a very narrow perspective. The company has lost its way due to an overly top heavy structure and a failure to listen to the grassroots. "Outsiders" have been hired over the years to provide new perspectives but almost all have been "let-go" as not a cultural fit - this seems to be a critical problem when an organization can't or won't listen to advice and feedback from qualified individuals who have industry experience. Health and Safety is marginalized owing to the fact that it is not owned by the executive other than in words not in action. Project Management is still inconsistent. Processes and procedures are needed to provide consistently superior performance.

Pros

Met some of the best people here and still remain close with many of them to this day. The work itself was not bad.

Cons

There are many inconsistencies across the offices - the haves (Calgary office) versus the have-nots (all of the satellite offices). The Project services teams were very ill-managed and were not treated fairly/equally at all.

Pros

- Great people who really care about the success of the organization - Personable leader (Rob Pockar) - Strong culture; they really make an effort to make people enjoy coming to work - Open communication (Ask Rob, regular town halls) - Benefits were the best I'd ever had

Cons

- The downturn in energy has really killed this organization - Each business unit (Guelph vs. Calgary vs. Swift Current) is managed very differently and the culture is not replicated across the business (ie. some leaders are huge micro-managers); - The first thing that went was the culture and investment in its employees - Keeping track of every 15 minutes is overkill when you are corporate - Letting go of people who love the business - No growth for individuals who are corporate (no money for professional development if you aren't billable)
