Pros

Depending on department or manager, you can do your job and be at ease without too much micromanagement. Good perks overall. Several barbecues and other activities organized by the company during the year. Equipment pretty up to date in IT department. Gym centre.

Cons

Company in constant financial struggle (or so they say) resulting in a salary increase every 3-4 years or so, and when they do, the raise barely covers current year's inflation rate. As a result, wages are about 25% lower than the market for a similar job with similar skills and turnover is pretty high across the board. Lack of training.

The company is family owned and operated. Everyone works well together and the company cares about its employees.

Pros

A culture of appreciation is front and center. Employees are given a full tour of our premises, which last 3 hours. After 3 months on the job, the CEO takes the time to get to know each employee's journey and what brought them to Rideau. Many programs in place: sustainable development policies and practices, LUFA farm biological fresh produce program, spring and winter on site car tire change program, health & wellbeing challenges, public transit incentive program, not to mention starting each meeting with a recognition moment! Strong social recognition platform in place where teammates can appreciate and recognize one another each day, including recognition training from the RMI recognition Management Institute.

Cons

I have not really seen any negative practices so far!
