Pros

I do not have any positive comments

Cons

Low pay. Lots of turnover. They do not pay their vendors and make excuses on why not to pay. The amount of paperwork and beaucracy is horrible. No training and management is ex pats who think they don't have to abide by US laws.

Pros

A plus just to get experience in a relevant field, or to work and get industry exposure as a newcomer to Canada (especially for immigrants).

Cons

Home office work environment in Calgary is ok, Project Sites like Horizon, Fort Mackay and Husky Project Site are the worst places to work. 12 people got fired since November 2012, 4- resigned, 4- removed from the site (Horizon), the only reason is that site management dont like them. 95% of management is Italian people. They come from a very different culture, they dont realize our values, respect, freedom and dignity in Canada. Their attitude and behaviour with site employees is worst. These sites are already a very stressed places and they increase more stress to their employees' work environment. They shout and yell at their employees very often. Most of the management have experience working in middle east, asian and africa, so they treat the employees in Canada likewise. They dont provide their emloyees with any kind trainings, professional development and very reluctant to share information with them and there is no learning culture. They don't have any work related ethics and have very poor relationship with their employees. Harrasment and bullying is very common. Employees are suffering alot, and while most of them are immigrants, and need experience in Canada for their future, so they are reluctant to complain or protest against this injustice.

The company give you opportunity to grow up quickly, lot of responsibility, very interesting job

Cons

if you are expatriate, the rotation are bit long, very difficult to get a familly contract, only single, salary in expatriation are not so high compare of number of hour that you spend!! HR Dpt is a real disaster, no communication, you are just a number; Italian management can be difficult for you if you are not italian too....
