Pros

Honestly can't think of any when speaking about the Calgary HO however my interaction with people outside of this office were very positive.

Cons

This office is an awful environment to work in, there are 2 people in the office who think they are better than everyone else in the global company and it really brings down moral and self esteem. Unfortunately they are in management positions but if at all possible do not work here, Now if you can get into the branch or other parts of the company great but stay away from the Calgary HO.

Pros

I honestly can’t think of one.

Cons

There is no work life balance, inapt management that is run by dictatorship. Management leaves early while you stay and work with no OT. They will run you into the ground and sabotage your career if you complain. They claim to have a “family like culture” but they fail to mention that the family is tremendously dysfunctional and abusive! Keep your self-esteem and stand in line at the food bank rather than work for this company. They have a foul reputation and have now become “that Company”!

Thank you for your feedback regarding Gescan. If you worked with us for any length of time, you would know that we are constantly working on our culture and feel that we have made great strides. We hope that you were able to provide this feedback to us after your voluntary departure through our exit interview process. We take the information given to us through this process very seriously and try to incorporate it into our action plans to continually improve our culture. We have an extraordinary team of individuals in Gescan who take pride in their work and create an amazing environment to work in. It is understandable that not all individuals hired end up aligning with our values and we regret that you experienced this. We wish you well in your future endeavours and sincerely hope that you find a company that is more suited to your expectations.

This is great feedback, thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience with Gescan. We appreciate the advice that you have given. Our branch in Grande Prairie is small, so we can understand why you may have found it difficult to advance. We hope that you found a rewarding position and wish you well.
