Pros

Pay Union Benefits Pension Hours

Cons

The CEO needs to go. Josie is so out of touch with what her employees want. After successfully working from home for almost 4 years, staff are being told they need to go back into the office 3 days a week "to collaborate". There is zero, and I mean zero, collaboration in this role. Instead of asking people if they'd like to return to the office, we're being told we have to and then being gaslit into thinking it's a good idea. Josie, you work with adults. We've proven we can work from home and do it well, why aren't you giving us the dignity to choose if we want to go back into the office? You're adding unnecessary commuting time, gas and vehicle expenses, not to mention the added safety concerns during inclement weather.

Pros

The salary, benefits and the pension plan are the only positive things about ESA.

Cons

Management has no idea what goes on at the company, they only care about themselves. The electrical safety mandate is bogus and they just increase fees each year and pass them down to consumers when the poor financial decisions they have made as a company are exposed. Why are the board of directors at ESA and their government overlords not asking questions about the corruption taking place?

Pros

The salary and benefits are excellent if you are a represented employee (unionized).

Cons

The communication is dismal. The HR dept and Executive Team are terrible at their jobs. The HR dept as a whole need to be terminated. HR is extremely slow at executing the hiring process. By the time HR sends a job offer the candidate accepted and started at a different job. They are extremely slow at responding to employee questions as well as complaints. They also give incorrect answers instead of consulting senior employees who can respond correctly and in a timely manner. The Executive team is mostly comprised of lawyers - enough said. I am a long term employee (16+ years) who has worked under a few different teams of executives and the current regime is the worst and so is the moral. In this company’s 24 year history, there was a strike for the first time under this EMT and HR dept. The Executive team does not follow the collective agreements in place and only inform union heads after the fact. The organization has become extremely top heavy whilst the front line employees are overworked and understaffed. EMT/HR implement programs like peer mental health because they “care about employees well being” and then try to measure it like a KPI. The We Care is equally as laughable as the Peer Mental Health program - it should be called We Care that You Aren’t at Work. Non unionized employees who are not in managerial roles are treated like garbage. Their benefits are not nearly as good as represented employees.
