Pros and cons of working at Byrnecut

Pros

  • Good people and working conditions, everyone is happy to help and answer any questions. Management structure is well balanced and often pushed to reach higher potentials.

  • The people. I have built great relationships with all the people I have worked with in my role. I sincerely believe the upper management care for all the employees at my site.

  • They have done what they said they would do in terms of hiring, salary, and development.

  • The clear goals and pathways laid out for me.

  • My company encourages everyone to participate and contribute any ideas that can improve the performance at work.

Cons

    • Egos of some people. Communication can sometimes be lacking.

    • More support in regard to defining the project engineer's role. The engineering workshop hosted earlier this year was great, something I wish I could experience after starting role.

    • Unnecessary waiting time to move up the working position.

    • Some pretty long days

    • I have no complaints about my experience in my current role.
