Pros

Compensation was good, courses were paid if you passed, Employee Share Purchase Plan worked well.

Cons

Dept. Managers often hired old friends and neighbours regardless of qualifications. Managers made racist or sexist comments to staff, jokingly of course.

Pros

- good support from direct manager and senior employees - good benefits - positive changes forecasted

Cons

- workload is unrealistic within the expected timelines - upper management invokes departmental changes so frequently it's difficult to keep processes in perspective - employees that leave the department / company aren't replaced, increasing the workload - career opportunities are focused primarily in Toronto and the GTA - overtime is expected - slackers keep their jobs despite complaints throughout the department

Pros

The benefits are quite good, especially the Employer Share Purchase Plan (ESPP). Salary is competitive with the industry and strong performance is rewarded.

Cons

Excessive micro-management of employees. Contentious and uncomfortable work environment where a few people make everyone else stressed and unhappy. Excessive workload and a reactive staffing approach. Unfair hiring practices whereby some employees are given jobs and others are made to apply. Management positions are sometimes filled by people who do not possess the necessary knowledge, skills or experience. Lack of opportunity to job shadow or change career path. Constructive feedback from employees is not welcome and largely ignored.The company policy is to not provide you with a reference which hinders your ability to find alternative employment. HR will simply tell prospective employers your job title and duration of employment.
