Air Canada Reviews in United States

Pros

100% Paid medical benefits for entire family and/or partner

Cons

Promotions based on senority, not ability. Most senior positions are filled with employees with 30+ years with the company. There isn't opportunity for younger, talented, educated employees to move up the ranks. My General Manager was with the company 34 years before he/she because part of senior management/

Company uses outdated or used computers/laptops for managers. My laptop was upgraded to 512MB RAM and I was suppose to be thankful for it.

Blackberry's were a "perk" or status symbol in 2008 (about 3 years behind the rest of the world), but they couldn't afford a Microsoft Exchange server, so the Blackberrys were useless.

Bonus calcuations changed year to year and often the week before a payout, senior management would change the rules resulting in drastic cut in payouts.
