Pros

-The pay (negotiated by the Union...if they could, they'd pay poverty wages). -The benefits (again, this is because of the Union)

Cons

-Everything. -Poor supply lines for material. (The old "Why's it not done?!"...."I'm still waiting on this material.") -Poor communication. -Not enough B foreman, so insufficient supervision, causing expensive rework. -Not enough access to prints and information for workers. -Pigeonholing of apprentices, stopping them from learning and progressing in their trade. -Unable to use the skills and knowledge of their workers properly. -They SQUEEZE workers. Constant pressure to produce. They have this ridiculous "points" system, which results in everybody cutting corners everywhere to get a few more "points" of production each day...this inevitably leads to problems and rework, which helps Canem dig their own grave. -Always trying to get one over on workers. Always. -Low morale. They do nothing to raise this. -The constant feeling that one is on a sinking ship, which one was. -They do not reward hard work. Work hard as a foreman and they'll just kick you to the curb when it's convenient for them.

Pros

Met a handful of nice people, no other pros

Cons

Major issues in the office environment, toxic director with a fancy title who is a loud demanding authority that will dominate any conversation, is unapproachable as always ”busy” yet rarely works, does not lead by example instead takes credit for the team. Don’t expect any feedback or appreciation here either. Lots of “seniors” in the company who are useless, but entitled as they have been there for years, so they will use all the fresh meat they get to fix their mistakes and get their work done for them.
