      Where Being an American Man Still Counts Most

      Pros

      There are some genuinely nice, very capable people doing interesting work. John, Dale, and Rick are particularly approachable, when you do manage to get the opportunity to speak with them.

      Cons

      They like to present themselves as a global company, yet remain thoroughly U.S.-centric. One does wonder why they bother maintaining offices elsewhere. There’s also a rather entrenched issue with sexism: unless you’re a man, you’ll find yourself having to fight tooth and nail simply to be included in discussions that are fundamental to your role.

      AVI-SPL Canada became Sharps 2.0

      Pros

      Before the company took over/merged, it was a great place and folks were proud to work for the company as well go the extra mile to ensure the customers needs were taken care of. Benefits and pay were decent but that was about it.

      Cons

      Before AVI-SPL merged with Sharps AV, they were a great company and could see potential but as soon as they merged, they kept all the staff from sharps and the ones who were AVI either quit or we moved out of the company. The Canadian operation of AVI-SPL is now just Sharps AV 2.0. Their training for new jobs is a bit of a joke with no time to train new employees or ones that have been transferred into new roles, it was a sink or swim type of mentality and don't expect for any real training or assistance. Expect to be thrusted into a lot of meetings which you then have to try and catch up on your work. Long hours.
