Pros

If you want to work on PEI you don't have many choices. Cavendish Farms is one choice. Try to get a unionized position that offers day time hours.

Cons

Robert Irving believes in selecting Type A personalities via a predictive index assessment, then places them all in a cramped office environment, and then comes and cleans house every few years to see who has survived. He supports local maritime employees, but brings in people from away to glean knowledge from. Once he has received said knowledge he discards the employees without much regard to the impact on the employees life. This fosters an environment where employees are afraid of their employer (the only game in town), and they are constantly trying to protect their job, by trying not to share their proprietory information so that they are a vital part of the operation. This was the worst place that I have ever worked.

Pros

Well organized company Vertically integrated Quality products Good benefits Good incentive program Financially sound Good talent pool in all key departments

Cons

Revolving door of senior management team Review all business opportunities on a per item basis while competition takes market basket approach Pulse of company is directly related to president. If he is happy all is good, if he is not people get terminated. Culture of company is not if you will get fired, but when you will get fired.
