Great learning opportunities Work with smart fun people Get to travel around BC Support for Professional development

Pay is terrible for workload Pay gets worse as the workload increases over time Narcissistic company president High turnover, leading to others suddenly taking on heavy workloads Being told that "you treat the company President like god" Work life balance is not as important as they make it sound

- Great projects to work on - A feeling of doing good for the environment - Lots to learn - Great colleagues (but these seem to be reducing in number) - Work can be hard, but rewarding. - Good place to get a footing, and then move on to other prospects.

The company used to have a good culture, but now it is all about projecting the perception of a good culture. - Leadership team is not aligned (but tries hard to "appear" to be). Recent departure of a leadership team member. - Company wants to hear the voice of employees (but in the end everything appears to be vetoed by one person). - Upper management does not trust the hard work of employees (it used to in the recent past). - President wants controls all projects, but often is too detached to understand the intricacies of the project. - New middle management team has a sense of entitlement and is in over their head at times. - Too many procedures and systems for a small company - administrative bloat slows things down to a crawl . - Long timers are unable to change their archaic ways because they do not know any other way. If you want to do things a different/new way, you are looked down upon. What worked 30 years ago doesn't work now! - Env. Techs end up doing menial work around the office. Why?
