Pros
benefits are good
Cons
everything else
Good starting Job
HVAC Systems/Service Technician (Former Employee) – Saskatoon – 15 May 2018
Good starting job. I worked in the position i was in for nearly 3 years. The management was good and they did lots of training to ensure their technicians are prepared to work with their equipment and with their customers.
There was a mild negative teasing attitude about the organization. it led to people being negative in the workplace. Not the best situation to keep new people who are not willing to stoop to that level.
I was terminated for not being able to my work. I had an injury that was not covered by short term disability leave or long term disability leave. We came to a mutual agreement that i would be terminated so i could get my severance.

Serviced fire extinguishers, general labourer (Former Employee) – Calgary, AB – 8 May 2018
First go through the hazards in the workplace and make a report. Then you go on to your work for the day. You learn what you need to do and mostly do it everyday . Enjoyable because you know what your getting yourself into every day .
Pros
good pay, great hours
Brutally Toxic Workplace Environment
Production Worker (Former Employee) – Whitby, ON – 29 March 2018
Unfortunately this was a terrible experience of a good working environment..
A 'team' spirit never encouraged or practiced by management, It was encouraged to tell on each other, throw people under the bus whenever you can. Management was entertained by this. Sick, toxic environment.

Poor Management
Service Coordinator (Former Employee) – Saskatoon, SK – 27 February 2018
Very little training at the time of employment, very little support from management, specifically because they were not local to the office.
The local crew that worked in the office made for a good environment and stuck together through tough times.
However, the company as I knew it no longer exists since Johnson Controls took over.

All in all it can be great or it can be a nightmare
Emergency dispatcher (Current Employee) – Montreal – 17 January 2018
Depending on your personality this will be great or it will be a nightmare. Middle management has some really bad apples and then some gems. It's a unionized environment which comes with it's own challenges. You start on night shift 'til new employees are hired and stay. There is very little turnover. The pension plan is pretty good so are the Insurance benefits. There is parking (free). It can become toxic though if you can't make abstraction of the drama and the above mentioned "bad apples". Otherwise it's pretty decent.
Pros
Nice Insurance plan, possibility to make $$
Cons
Current middle management/no advancement
