Pros
Benefits are excellent, the pension plan is great, mat leave top up for a few months, celebrations of life events, long weekend BBQ’s, fresh fruit in the kitchens, nice office space that is continuously being updated to look more modern. There’s a real push on healthy living and fostering a safe work environment. Work/life balance is respected depending on your manager and I have only had good experiences in this area.
Cons
Nepotism, favourtism, lots of politics, double standards for who you know and not always what you know. Individuals are often pigeon holed and not given room for growth, especially in less desirable and harder to fill positions. Lack of professionalism and confidentiality among upper management which is disappointing. Times are changing with the new acquisition and hopefully it will put an end to many of the “cons”.
