Former Employee – worked at Cameco full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Insurance and benefits were good

Cons – Low salaries by industry standard. Little opportunity for advancement. Cameco basically trains employees for better jobs somewhere else.

Current Employee – been working at Cameco

Pros – Many different sites; however, the people are consistently great. Good benefits and competitive compensation. Fantastic community outreach and support.

Cons – Because it is such a big company spread across many sites and a large geographic area there is often a lot of "red tape" when pursuing new ideas or ways to improve business operations. That being said it is a fairly typical complaint in the corporate world...

Advice to Senior Management – Can be disassociated from their employees; some lack leadership and the ability to encourage new ideas that create positive change and growth within their department.
