Pros

-Most of the people are great

Cons

-Required to join a fitness tracking program to get reduced insurance rates. Problem I have is that the reduced rates are twice as high as when i was with my old company which was purchased by Stantec. -Only 5 sick days, doesnt work if you have kids. Im use to 10. -The utilization requirements are ridiculus! I'm management and expected to have 93% utilizations. -Safety program is a joke.

Pros

-Great team, great bunch of ppl to work with -Very supportive team and managers

Cons

- No salary raises in two yrs in one PC (profit center), while employees in another profit center get more than one raise in a single year. Management is aware of this and for the last three years has been talking about a salary report that they are working on. Nobody has seen or heard of any such report since then. The attitude is if you dont like what we pay you, you are welcome to leave. As a result I have seen good, hardworking employees go to competitors. - Stantec forces all its employees to use one week of their vacation time during Christmas when the offices close down. I have never before seen a company force its employees to take vacation as and when the company demands. Stantec really needs to revisit this discriminatory policy.

Working in an underappreciated sector (Enviromental Services)

Pros

Great work culture locally: good co-workers, telework, dogs. However, this doesn't seem to be the case with other PCs (profit centres). Good benefits package.

Cons

Since the acquisition, relations have become increasingly strained with mandates coming from the top (and little else). Management in my PC so stressed about revenue that it spills over to most employees in the office. We've lost many opportunities due to large corporate overhead and steep rates. Billable time is overly important and even junior staff are expected to be finding work to keep themselves utilized.
