Pros
Decent DCPP, Match (3:1) share purchases (Max 6% payroll deduction = 2% match), You can move up the ladder easily at the beginning but plateau very quickly. Free phone (but iPhone...)
Cons
Reducing benefits regularly as cost saving. Pay hourly workers way more money than salary and they all complain that they're the most underpaid people in existence, Heavy duty technicians can make about 160k per year in Fort Mac so they're a wee bit spoiled. Not a whole lot of upward mobility for Engineers. Talk a whole lot about Safety being the number one priority and while the managers talk the talk it's pretty clear they're all talking out of their butt. Work life balance is awful if you want to move up, you're expected to be glued to your phone.
