Pros

Company management in Canada is good.

Cons

The current existing lady who is office manager and her former supervisor, now her assistant, are not good to work with. They manage this branch as their own company and bully the staff. Since her management, all professionals left the company. They don't treat people well and use the company money as their own. If both of these are not at this branch, it will be a nice place to work. Upper management from Canada or Sacramento should thoroughly inspect the office. Office in charge should be assigned to someone with professional background.

Pros

Over the years have met some lovely people. The experiences I've gained from previous employer FST opened my eyes for what was to come from Stantec.

Cons

Upper management, including former BOD are too concerned with lining their pockets. No respect for employees that go above and beyond. However they do allow people to play on Facebook & enjoy Solitare while getting paid. Not so great for moral of dedicated employees.
