ATCO Ltd. Reviews

Am hard pressed to come up with any pros Throw all morals and integrity away if you come to work here

Where do I start. I am a proud Albertan and have worked with the company for over 20 years. I have always been proud to work for ATCO, proud to be part of a family. I have always ignored the fact that execs get massive bonuses and are short sighted with their decisions. My family has relied on ATCO for many years to put food on our table. November was one of the worst months on my life. Hundreds of co-workers were let go and I fear our leaders just saw line items on spreadsheets. In fact, that's all they saw. Decisions made in offices with fireplaces isn't always good out in the field to us who support the core business of what ATCO does well. Many good people were let go in November where other Utilities hired. All executive STILL got bonuses and raises and employees received nothing. We were told this week that what happened in November was actually our fault. It would seem that ATCO has lost touch of what modern day leadership is all about. No longer does a leader sit in the penthouse and collect copious amounts of money. No longer does a business try to redefine itself over and over again, rather than focusing on core customer services. Do leaders really deserve millions upon millions of salary and stocks when they lay of 15% of their talent. I am sorry but ATCO is not what it was.....This business is only about making money and TSX value.
