Vantaggi

-The health benefits are decent for the job and it does have a modest profit sharing plan if you enroll (3% rrsp matching)

Svantaggi

the pay structure is only good for the top 10% in the company, everyone gets paid a field bonus that is a % of the job ticket. The ones who get all of the gravy jobs do very well, but that's only because they have been there for 10 years and are buddies with the dispatch. If your not part of the old boys club you will get the bottom of the barrel for jobs (you will need to do 5 jobs for every 1 that they do to get the same bonus) they preach safety but expect you to lie on log books and drive after working for 24 hours while they look the other way, and when you try to be proactive and report an incident like you hurting yourself they will find any fault in even if its unrelated to the incident and come down hard on you. (ie getting a finger in a pinch point, and its your fault for not wearing gloves) for the amount of work you put into the company the salaries are relatively low

Vantaggi

It semi pays the bills.

Svantaggi

The company’s current leadership approach is unsustainable and is eroding both employee trust and operational quality. The Executive Leadership Team (ELT) has prioritized short-term profits over long-term stability, relying on temporary fixes like biannual layoffs to meet quarterly targets. This constant cycle of cuts creates instability, damages morale, and signals a lack of strategic vision for the future. Without a clear plan for sustainable growth, the company risks continued decline. Human Resources (HR) policies are undermining performance and engagement. The rigid, arbitrary pay scales and grades artificially cap employee earning potential, regardless of contribution. Raises are determined primarily by attendance rather than actual performance, and increases are applied uniformly across the board. High performers at the top of their pay range receive minimal adjustments, which sends the message that excellence is not truly valued. These policies directly limit motivation and retention. The Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) team has implemented regulations that appear to be driven more by internal authority than actual safety improvements. When questioned, the justification is often no more than “because that’s the rule we decided on.” Without clear evidence of safety benefits, these measures feel like unnecessary obstacles that reduce efficiency without adding measurable protection. The decision to outsource significant portions of work to India may have reduced costs on paper, but it has also caused a sharp decline in service quality. This deterioration impacts both internal operations and the customer experience. Cost savings cannot justify the long-term damage caused by diminished quality. Unless leadership addresses these issues directly and decisively, the company will continue to lose both talent and competitive standing.
