Pros

Pay was competitive. Usually generous in paying for training.

Cons

As a newly established company in Toronto, it failed to assimilate the Canadian hires with Key staff who came from Australia. There was always us vs. them. The Australian attitude people showed to be quite different from the Canadian one. Initially set to compete against the big EPCM companies in Toronto, the company has not been set up to be a strong contender.

Pros

Good salary when hired and that is about it

Cons

- Poorly managed, with poor business sense. There's no work but unwilling to innovate and move into new business areas lsuch as bulk materials handling. - No transparency from management - Employees are treated like hourly contractors to bill out without giving employees ownership, responsibility and growth potential. - Consistently fail to secure work, but treat clients badly and have developed a poor reputation in the industry. - Constantly start but never implement new strategies. Have been trying to get ISO accredited for 5+ years, what a joke. = Frequent mass retrenchments when times are bad, and mass hiring when good with no future resource planning. - Constant politics, and fear for your job (retrenchments every 6 months are standard) - Standard fair to promise a lot to candidates in interview, but never deliver on anything - No increases once you're hired -Long hours during project cycle, with no additional compensation = No pension or medical benefits
