Pros
- Organization celebrated it's centennial birthday - Can be a relaxed atmosphere depending on what department you're in - Strong industry presence in Canada - CEO understands the business and is a proven winner
Cons
- Annual raises are well below the cost of inflation so you'll lose money working here in the long-run - HR continually hires questionable individuals in key senior leadership roles which results in chaos and under performance. Finding the right talent for an organizational need is critical, and when a company's HR team is unable to perform, the entire organization suffers. - If you're ambitious and know your worth, don't stay here. Technology is archaic - Penny Pinching mentality - Directors/VPs are mostly trying to cut budgets and squeeze more out of their teams to make themselves stand out against their predecessors. The results are compensation has fallen significantly behind industry standards. Departments may believe it's saving the company money with reduced payouts, but it also drives away top talent and makes the organization unable to attract intelligent individuals who can take the organization to the next level
