Pros
- Coveted pension plan and overall benefits package - Corporate headquarters located in a gorgeous, LEED Gold building in Victoria - Support provided to promote healthy living
Cons
- New CEO selected from within the organization, reinforcing existing patterns of thought and action instead of the shake up it so badly needs - No unifying vision for the organization or strategic direction—Ferries is rudderless and at the mercy of senior leaders with competing agendas - Bickering and in-fighting among the VPs and C-suite - Questionable ethics with respect to procurement, including close ties between senior leaders and specific consulting firms - An old boys’ club mentality born of privilege and deeply-rooted Navy culture - Far-reaching misogyny expressed daily; if you’re a woman, expect to work harder and longer than your male colleagues but with no pay-off. - IT and business owners on projects are often at odds and there is no fortitude, aptitude or practical mechanisms to address governance problems - Failures are not considered part and parcel of a culture of innovation; Ferries runs on fear and any failure requires a scape-goat - Workplace bullying is largely tolerated; HR and leadership will mouth the right platitudes but no action will be taken to create a safe, supportive environment where all can flourish - Ferry rides are a taxable benefit and not free as they once were
