Pros

UnionWare is an awesome work environment. The people are friendly and the clients are great. It feels wonderful working as a part of the system to advance workers rights across North America.

Cons

Work loads for some teams are pretty high due to some current staffing numbers that are actively recruiting for. Honestly once we are fully staffed up again I don't have much bad to say.

Pros

Great Management Great co-workers Flexible work environment. Main focus is on getting work done, not on warming the seat for 8 hours everyday.

Cons

Not a job for seat warmers.

Pros

I've worked here for approximately 5 years and really enjoy it. My coworkers are great and I feel like they're my second family. Lunch is a big social event with cards and games, and there's a "team-building night" (video games) once a month. I feel that management actually cares about me and I can approach anybody at any level - even the owner of the company. There's a profit sharing plan in place and as a result there's full financial transparency - we even get to see the deposits. I get a kick out of seeing a cheque come in and knowing that I did the work to make that happen. The code base and architecture of the product is pretty cool. However there's a lot of things that need to be improved and we never seem to get to all of them. If you like SQL this is the place for you; if you're faking it and aren't going to pick it up quickly then don't bother. I prefer writing VB code but almost everything here happens in SQL unless you're lucky enough to get assigned some of the VB work.

Cons

When people ask me what I do, explaining that I write membership management software for unions doesn't make me a hit at parties. I try explaining that it's a far more complex and interesting niche than it sounds, but it's a pretty dry subject to most people.
