Pros
They really knew who to hire right people 85% of the time. The day to day operations was something to appreciate. As it was well oiled machine and structured. All the people that I've had to pleasure to train turned out to be people I who still see from time to time to this day. Lots a great friendships formed, memories shared, decent benefits that gradually declined as the company grew , free large turkeys given in Nov and Christmas parties with 5 course meals and free liquor to boot at RBC Conventions Center. The HR department at many instances were genuine and effective in doing their best to resolving issues between management vs employee. Which is something I will always remember. Thanks to Alex , Jeff , Stacey and Petra.
Cons
In the end the pay was based on a favoritism system due to ever changing methods used to grade their employees performance and reviews. The politics where this was displayed on shop floor was too much at times. But I guess that can be found anywhere. So that comment and situation can be easily relatable to any company in the world. But if cell leaders didn't like you then all bets are off. Unfortunately , No matter how many hours blood sweat and tears of OT was given, if you were no on their favorite list you'd still wouldnt be recognized. But the cell leaders that were fair genuinely cared about their people.
