Average Hourly Rate for Praxair, Inc. Employees in Canada

Pros: Some flexibility, some of my coworkers are pleasant to work with

Cons: Stress level is high, lack of training, lack of opportunities, lack of communication

Pros: Time budgets are estimated for each project, and work is somewhat scheduled. I don't have to work 60+ hours per week like my past job at another company. At least my department has some way to determine how loaded the staff is.

Cons: We do some things in antiquated ways for a larger company. We are very much a budget-based company for each project and many times, others decide what the hours estimate will be. Normally, the estimates are too lean and they go over. We never really document and learn from our over-budget experiences in order to do a better estimate for future projects. We measure everything in crude ways just to cover our butts, as opposed capture the reasons to improve our process.
