      Pros

      The experience that you get, if you make it through waiting.

      Cons

      The whole recruitment process just takes way too long. You are required to do pass the initial stage and two online assessments (including a timed math component) before they even look at your resume and that alone can take a couple weeks. It's been over nearly six weeks and my application still says "Under Review". I feel it's just too long to find out if you've even got a phone interview, not including the next step which would give you 7 days notice for a SRD Event (2 Days total) and then waiting for a final answer and interview.

      Pros

      Good company for the most part. Good safety record at oil sands site. Leadership for the most part good.

      Cons

      Lousy way of doing cutbacks to their staff. If your position changed by a 30 % then your position was considered open to all employees in the company to apply. Employee holding the position had to apply for their own position. No interviews are conducted, no references are spoken to and past performance reviews are not applicable. One person, usually a VP makes the decision with no consultation from anywhere else. In majority of cases the employee holding the position at the time is forced out without any consideration for past performance and no input from any over seeing supervisors.

      Pros

      The money is great, guys on the floor are awesome and very skilled tradesmen. They offer fly in fly out for those who do not wish to live in s northern community

      Cons

      Management has no idea what they're doing and very much has an "old boys" club and they have lost the trust of the employees. The camp for the fly in and out people has suffered greatly due to cutbacks.
