Worst choice for a job I've made in a long time!

Pros

Has some good company events like BBQ's and corporate challenge.

Cons

Benefits are way worse than the rest of the large companies in Edmonton with only $800 combined for paramedical. Bonuses also weak and management too busy to train staff. Also takes for ever to hire as have unreasonable expectations for the salary's they offer.

Pros

Good benefits, convenient work locations.

Cons

Double standards, claim that they do what is right, however the truth is they count the breath you take. Client needs aren't met often without a hefty price to pay. Staff gets the negative, bosses get the glory.

Stantec is corporate heavy.

Business Outlook

Pros

There are some genuinely good hardworking surveyors, engineers and managers who deserve to be acknowledged and rewarded. The only good thing about this company is 10 paid holidays.

Cons

It’s all about looking good on paper. Upper Management doesn’t quite care about the employees as long as the money keeps coming. Performance is not appreciated at all. Raises are very minimal for regular employees and bonuses are only for the upper management. Employee retention is a BIG problem because of lack of appreciation for hard work. Stantec has an yearly performance review system in place which is a JOKE. Hourly Employees are rewarded with raises as little as a few cents. The benefits are very sub-standard. Stantec really needs to talk more to its employees about their goals and career objectives like they care, not just to satisfy some corporate paperwork requirement.
