ENGINEERS AVOID!

Pros

The pros are job security, they hire fresh grads.

Cons

I have never seen that much of Unhappy employees crammed in one place, almost everyone is unhappy with their life there, The salaries are the bare minimum actually after factoring out the costs of a car(You must buy a car to be able to go their location) it comes out very close to minimum wage, the benefits are the least amount they could give to remain in the bounds of the law. all the profits goes to the owner of the company they don't invest in their employees. avoid at all costs. The experience gained there is useless in the real market (engineers do customer service and drafting that's all). You only have 3 sick days and No RRSP contributions.

VERY LAST OPTION

Pros

- Hires fresh graduates - Good working environment - Flexible hours

Cons

- Management changes their ojective very often and are not very good at transmitting that information down the line. - Zero opportunities for career advancement - Very low salaries with no milestone - No RSP contributions and does not pay for the OIQ fees (despite hiring only engineers) - Will hire engineers for virtually any position resulting in some people doing work completely unrelated to engineering (Customer Care, Buying, etc...) - Management will make promises only to never bring it back up ever again

Pros

Learn how to work as a professional by speaking to customers and how to handle multiple projects simultaneously. Friendly work place.

Cons

Management puts 0 investment into their employees. Salary is well below industrial norm. Starting salary is 40k and goes up increments of 4% yearly. OIQ fees and matching RSP contributions are not included in benefits package. No room to grow and very little technical knowledge to gain within company. Management expects a quick turnover rate for their employees and does nothing to prevent it. Moral is extremely low amongst all employees and management knows it. Only recommend Cogan as a last resort to get your career started.
