Pros

It gives you confidence to work for such a huge company with so many resources available, from IT to trucking to Customs Compliance.

Cons

The bigger the company, the more difficult it is to get noticed among the crowd and the more difficult it becomes to move up.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good work life balance, flexible hours (depending on your boss), good team and management. Good culture. Generally great people throughout. Competitive compensation, benefits, bonus. Beautiful new office near Pearson airport. CEO sets a relaxed tone.

Cons

Little opportunity for advancement or promotion. Little authority throughout the organization to make decisions, so much oversight from head office in Germany. Lack of growth results in constant cost cutting measures. Canada does well but the US division is a mess and hurts combined performance.
