Pros

Average benefits and salary, matching RRSP program and stock purchase program. Good IT department and this company is a leader in integrating computer technology into all their work. Good training and integration programs of their business model and paper flow for companies they have purchased. Staff in Norwell are overall a pleasure to work with and loyal to Alan. Capital purchase money is readily available to any line of work with a good business plan and this company wants to grow

Cons

Company purchases and take overs are full of promises at offer time but after the purchase these deals are slowly phased out over a year or two. Management of the original companies are also phased out or quit and are replaced with people who don't have the management skills in that line of business. They have exceptionally high turn over rate of all employees from their purchases in a few years due to this style of management. American style salary and benefit plans which don't fit into the Canadian culture especially their impossible to reach bonus structure

Pros

There are lots of great people that work for the company. The company is very stable and will likely continue to grow through internal processes and acquisitions. There is always something new to learn.

Cons

The workload and overall pressure applied is consistently unreasonable. Most projects feel like a death march. Pay is considerably less than equivalent jobs in the city.
