Pros

This company routinely hires "techs" that in many cases dont know a multi-meter from a wrench, so the company will be a pay cheque until you find a better job. You will receive some "in house" training, but it isn't recognized anywhere else.

Cons

This company has a glut of useless high-payed managers that sit at a desk all day while the technicians do all the work. Techs need to fill out paperwork for every hour of every day, and find themselves having to explain where they were and what they did for every 30 minutes of the day. Managers make anywhere from 2x or 3x what technicians do, which is absolutely rediculous for what they do. There is no pension plan for technicians, which is why all of the experienced techs have quit and moved on to better companies. You dont get any vacation until you complete a year of service, and because of extremely high turnover, the lack of knowledge has left a toxic atmosphere of finger-pointing and penny-pinching the technician wages. A really strange thing about this company is that there are shareholders that work in the company that have created invisible empires, and are essentially untouchable. They dont actually make money for the company and just tuck themselves away in a corner and chase pet projects and ride the payroll into a very healthy retirement.

On the Upswing

Pros

Tridon is the first place I have worked where I feel like its truly OK to be myself. It is a very accepting and welcoming place to work with a diverse group of staff from all places and races. Everyone is really excited about solving problems and finding solutions to problems; not just for the customers but also internally. I find Tridon to be very realistic place to work, if you perform your job and give a darn you will do well here. Its also realistic in that takes into account that fact that everyone has lives outside of work and flexibility is something that is offered. Since new Management has taken over this place is on the upswing and I am very excited to see where Tridon will be in the next 2 - 5 years.

Cons

Like every organization that is growing and changing Tridon isn't perfect and there will be growing pains and failures that the company will have to learn from. There is lots of work to do to correct some of the mistakes and issues caused under previous management, however things are trending in the right direction.
