•Union position with solid base pay plus additional premiums •Scheduled base pay increases every 6 months (up to three increments), which provides clear wage progression •Boot allowance provided, which helps offset out-of-pocket costs •In-house training available, especially useful for skill development and onboarding •Job security and predictable work conditions due to union agreement

Cons

.Employees need their own transportation for commuting, as public transit options are limited •Promotions are very difficult to obtain, even when fully qualified •Due to the union structure, advancement is based primarily on seniority rather than performance or qualifications

Pros

pay is at top of industry standard for area. lots of overtime available. - union

Cons

- power systems division is sidelined by equipment division - tooling and trucks can be hard to get when working on power systems division - training is slow to get especially for new employees - union - company has no soul as it is shareholder owned and it is starting to show through, even at the smaller branches. this has always been a problem in the cities but the attitude is creeping in locally. - management turnover is incredibly high and fast. this leads to most ideas and plans being left incomplete before a new set of ideas and plans come

Pros

Great health-care and bonus scheme based on performance. Has a learning environment and takes on many just entering the workplace. Customer focused.

Cons

Little training and advancement for most roles. Long work hours and expectations to "do more with less" and to "just make it happen". Not much direction or support from management.

Consistently Changing.. In a bad way

Pros

Pension, vacation time, benefits, can pay into employee shares if you choose to.

Cons

If you asked me a couple of years ago, I wouldn't have had any cons, but over the last year they got a new President and it seemed like everything for the employees went down hill since then. They had made significant changes on and off over the last year and many people were/are un happy with the approaches they took to accomplish all of their changes. It got to the point where you realize you are definitely just a number to them and they truly do not care about you and will just replace people as they see fit. Within departments, management definitely plays favorites and things will obviously be better for them. They preach inclusiveness and diversity, yet if you are different than their favorites, you will not be accepted. Moving up is based on who you know, not necessarily your qualifications. They preach "One Team", yet consistently demonstrate the opposite and it pulls teams apart and makes teams not work well with each other due to this. Training is basically non existent. There are so many people who refuse to train others on how to do things because they want to keep the information to themselves for job security. Those that are willing to share are not properly trained because they weren't trained properly when they took on the role. It's either that or the only people who can train you don't have the capacity because they are so overworked.

Pros

Good pay and benefits, flexibility during the day

Cons

No back fill coverage so taking extended time off is very difficult, No time off during month end which is 2 weeks out of every month. Horrible management style, clearly significant lack of management training, significant lack of communication overall, especially things that pertain to your job directly you have no say in and usually hear about very last minute.
