Pros

It used to be (8-10 years ago) an OK company to work for (the only choice in Central Alberta) NOT anymore !

Cons

Clique Nepotism More leaders than doers - (at leas at the Joffre site) Inept and VERY unexperienced leaders Knowledge and experienced don't count "Yes" person type only listened to, and/or promoted Say something that the leaders don't like hearing and... you're out, or your career path is doomed Pack of wolfs-promote their own species within Mid/low level leadership don't convey messages to the upper management P.S.- HR department and Leadership are "advising" employees to add positive comments on different sites (this one included) in order to balance the... real ones and...improve PR . Don't be fooled by the "extremely" good / positive comments as they are generally fake .
