Pros
- the best part are the people you work. they are all pretty nice, including most of the managers. everyone is just intimidated by the CEO - benefits are average/decent - bluecross, 80% coverage on many services with RRSP contributions
Cons
- President/CEO is very controlling of his managers and staff. His personality can range from intimidating/bulldozer type to moments of being nice and funny (with the latter being more infrequent). If you don't work with him directly, that is, you have a manager between you and him then it's fine as you are generally insulated. Reporting managers all get yelled at on a rotating basis depending on who he is focused on. - Salary is definitely low even in the Ag industry which is known to be lower than other industries. bonus is pretty low so don't factor that in if you are offered a job. It's $500 or less for non-management staff. - CEO makes managers compete with each other even when they should all work together to build the business. - Controlling environment. Senior management is petty when you leave.
