Pros

Top 100 employers in Toronto

Cons

Mid level managers is pretty bad with their people skills or managing people. Maybe just my team though. Our department doesn't promote from within the team, for some reason they tend to hire supervisors from the outside and we the associates train the supervisors which doesn't make total sense at all.

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

They offer resources for learning.

Cons

In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
