Pros
Easy access to head office; Free parking for employees, though I suspect this will change in the future and will end up being a taxable benefit;
Cons
No advancement opportunities unless you are related to one of the executives; No significant pay increases, barely above cost of living; When someone leaves as people do constantly, you are assigned additional work to cover. Fine for the short term but the last time this affected me, this "additional work load" lasted three years with no acknowledgement of financial "Thank you"!!!!!!!; Bonuses are based on over all corporate/employee objectives which includes employee retention! This is a joke. They will claim they didn't meet their corporate objectives so the percentage paid out to the workers is far less yet the executives bonuses are unbelievably high for a company who didn't meet their objectives.!! Shouldn't more of the bonus money go to the employees that actually stayed???; Senior management is exceptionally knowledgeable but instead of mentoring their team they micro-manage; Overtime is expected every night, that is why HR brings in dinner at 7pm to ensure people eat and continue on with productivity; Benefits are less than industry standard; No RRSP or matching, even though this is brought up by employees at every Town Hall; You can't be proactive when you are constantly putting out fires.
