Pros

Some of the best reasons to work for Stantec: - The ability to work in a large variety of locations across multiple provinces. - Work with a large variety of customers and clients allowing one to meet a large variety of people and make contacts

Cons

Some of the cons to working for Stantec: - They hire you with the expectation you'll receive training and get to advance in education and within the office. Neither occurs. - Upon being hired they say, we may pay for more education (i.e., Master's Degrees) - You will get laughed at when you bring this up again to management. Many reasons you will receive - no funding, you do not require it, you are not qualified or you are not the one who needs it most - You are expected to have a work / life balance but at the end of the day you say no to working late then you get slapped on the wrist - Raises are non existent - Get laid off for less then 7 working days to then be hired back on and then work 60 hour work weeks to then be laid off again once slow (Reminder - Not a seasonal worker) - Morale of all workers very poor.

Pros

Have some amazing project managers that aim to educate younger employees You can somewhat easily transfer within the company, you just have to be your own advocate and talk to the managers about the transfer first, not HR Work on some of the largest water and waste water projects in the country Extremely team oriented in field offices

Cons

Benefits could always be better; especially retirement contributions and bonus structure Head quarters is very disconnected from the field work (which is what makes all of the money, but they have yet to realize that) Can have terrible project managers that stick around and get touted as excellent because they know someone at headquarters (but this can be true at all companies)
