Pros

Average salaries and benefits. Experienced workforce.

Cons

Terrible work environment. Always downsizing so constant need to keep looking over your shoulder. Have taken away major pension and benefits in the last few years. Very poor regard for safety with the bottom line is making money. Brazil tries to run the Canadian operations the same way they run their operations in third world countries. Very low moral amongst employees. Non union employees have no protection and are laid off at will. Company has no use for unions and has caused strikes as long as 1 year.
