Pros

Literally the free lunches, but when its some kind of oriental 3 days in a row, for both options, it becomes tedious

Cons

Completely overworked for pay Distribution of workload is completely uneven (ALWAYS AIM TO WORK FOR VPN/SEC TEAM if in Ottawa, you will do 1/3 the work for the same salary as HE/MGMT for same pay) Management "fixes" problems brought to them for about a week, at which point things will return to "normal" Never aim to work mornings - you will be overloaded without fail (12:30pm shift also gets 10% premium - aim for this [most pay for "days" with smallest workload])

Pros

The core responsibilities offer solid experience, and many team members are dedicated, talented, and great to work with.

Cons

Lack of HR Support: The company lacks a safe, objective framework for employee feedback. When legitimate management issues were raised to HR, no corrective action was taken. Instead, it resulted in direct retaliation from leadership, which was left unaddressed by the organization. Significant Under-Market Pay: Compensation is well below industry standards for similar scopes of work. To give context, transitioning into a comparable role at a different company yielded a 37% increase in base pay. Flawed & Inaccurate Sales Compensation: The commission and incentive structures for the sales organization are unnecessarily convoluted. This complexity frequently leads to errors in commission payouts, causing widespread frustration among sellers. Notably, these calculation mistakes are consistently detrimental to the employee and rarely seem to resolve in the seller's favor. Siloed "HQ-Centric" Culture: There is a heavy disconnect between corporate headquarters and regional teams. The culture feels highly insular, creating an "in-group" dynamic where those outside of headquarters have very limited visibility, influence, or opportunities for career progression.
