Pros

There's absolutely none at all.

Cons

Salary: Minimum wage, no benefits, no OT pay. One coworker didn't get paid the amount she was told. Parking: No parking. You have to try to find a spot in the tiny, busy parking lot (4-hour limit & most are reserved), change spots every 4 hours or get ticketed. Unless you pay for parking for 8 hours. Workplace Condition: You must bring your own personal laptop to work. 8 hours/ day, 40 hours/week. They don't provide work equipment at all. Which means that all company and client files are stored in your personal laptop. Don't even expect pen and paper. Bring your own. Lunchroom? None. Microwave? None. Water machine? None. This is a very small company. 6 employees. Boss, manager, and accountant are related. Five employees (including the boss) are stuffed in a tiny 15ft x 15ft room. Everybody can see and hear what everybody else is doing. Culture: No training provided. Expected to start and finish multiple projects as quickly as possible. If you are slow (according to their standards), the boss will yell at you in front of everybody in that tiny room and announce that they didn't pay you $xx for nothing. (Yep, yelling your wage in front of everyone.) Everyday at the end of the day you have to submit a report on what you have done that day "for legal reasons so that the clients know we really are working on their projects". During the interview the boss said I could work from home and come in whenever I want as long as I finish my projects on time. I did that for a week and the manager scolded me for being late everyday. I told her what the boss had said and she dismissed it, saying everyone starts at 10. I didn't get paid for working at home. Not only did the boss not clear things up, he denied what he had said and sided with the manager. There are too many horrible experiences to list. I see them post new postings from time to time and I just want to give job seekers a heads up. Don't waste your time here and don't let yourself undergo such terrible treatment.

Pros

None. Nothing at all. Thought very hard but still nothing.

Cons

The cons from working on this company can be a very long list. 1) You will be asked to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement on your first day you are hired. The boss will threaten you, saying that if anyone posts a negative comment online, he will know by checking the IP address of the person who posts it. 2) You will be given a big promise for a very bright future, gaining a lot of valuable work experience, along with a big bucket of money if you work hard for this company. But the reality is, none of that is happening except you are working long work day with free OT hours, and a minimum wage/hour on a pay cheque. 3) You are expected to come to work dressing with professional attire and give off your professional skills, but instead you worked like a free labourer, duties including but not limited to: vacuum the floor, watering the plants, wiping tables, dumping garbage, etc. Oh, and also being scolded almost everyday like you are a slave for the company. 4) You will be expected to come to work in the morning, and return to home whenever you finish the work they expected you to finish (whenever they think your work is finished that is). They won't even reasonably compensate you for work you've done, so don't expect they will compensate you for OT hours. Your OT hours are free, guaranteed. 5) They expect you to come volunteer and help out with their extracurricular events they host with their side businesses, and promise you will be compensated for your hours. Guess what? At the end of the day, the boss/manager/accountant/senior designer (whom they are all related) says you were doing it for a good deed and should not be compensated for the time and hours you put in on a statutory holiday. 6) They think you always have too much time on your hands, and thus they don't mind adding a bit of work on top of your current for this current company with duties from their side businesses. They will ask you to help them buy groceries, buy lunches, buy stationary, and other supplies as they want. Don't worry, you won't be compensated for all of these, including your transportation costs. 7) If a client complains, it all boils down to your own responsibility. The boss/manager/accountant/senior designer has nothing to do with it and never will, even though you are the one who has nothing to do with it. Don't worry, they won't forget to scold you. 8) As you work longer in the company, you will start to realize, they will only hire fresh grads and people who are desperately looking to work in companies who will assist with their permanent residency application, or people who have minimal work experience. 9) As you work, you will understand that this is a company where they treat their employees as their family slaves. And, once you realize that, you will realize you need to get out of this company as soon as possible. Even working in McDonald's will guarantee you a better job, better opportunity, and better benefits than being in this company. My advice to the fresh grads, people who are seeking work, don't ever come close to this company. Please don't work, or even bother coming for an interview. If you want to test the waters, it's your choice. But from my humble opinion, this company doesn't deserve you. You deserve to be respected and treated like a person. You deserve to be reasonably compensated for the work you've put in. You deserve to gain valuable work experience from a company who really trains you. Not this kind of treatment like the experiences I've listed above, and I can go on and on about this. People, treat yourself better.

Pros

You will be motivated to seek better job than this.

Cons

First of all, the pay was horrible. We were paid only minimum wage per hour. Second, don't expect training to be provided. The company expect you to be able to handle a huge project overnight. The company did not train us at all. What the management team did was only complaining and scolding all of the staff when we did not "perform like the way they expected" under the circumstances of: no clear deadline given, minimal/no instruction given, no plan details were clearly communicated, and basically we were told to just finish the big project without letting us know what the project really is before we begin (even though we asked multiple times for clarifications and details). Thirdly, be expected to do wear multiple hats and take up multiple tasks/projects from different areas. Keep the minimum pay in mind. Last but not least, this is the worst company I've worked in with the worst management. I know one co-worker were not reimbursed for the gas fees for doing errands for the company. All of us were not paid when working over-time when the company expected to do so. I will not work for this company ever again.
