Pros

3 weeks vacation right off the bat and 5 emergency days a year for sick time or other issues. Matching on RRSP contributions. Plus usually get bumped up each year through profit sharing and bonuses. Fairly good year end bonuses. Decent compensation, not the best, but not the worst.

Cons

Senior HR is definately company driven, so do not expect to get anything more than the bare minimum from them. If you work extra, make sure you make it known, you will not be recognised or compensated unless you take the incentive to make sure your manager knows it, it was approved and then provides time in lieu. Some low level managers or supervisors seem to have gotten friended into their jobs, not actually based on performance or skills sets.

Pros

Some remote opportunities, medical benefits used to be good

Cons

This company has made it clear that its employees are not a priority. Over the past several years, there have been repeated layoffs, hiring freezes, and constant cost-cutting, with little regard for the employees left behind or how the remaining work will realistically get done. Many of the decisions don’t make sense. Critical, high-performing employees and essential roles have been eliminated while other positions remain. At the same time, new processes and layers of bureaucracy have been introduced that make even simple tasks take much longer, leaving employees with less time to focus on the work that actually serves clients. I genuinely feel for both the employees who remain and the clients, who ultimately bear the consequences of these decisions. The workload continues to increase while staffing decreases, creating an unsustainable environment. If you’re considering applying here, I’d think carefully. The company has laid off dozens of long-tenured employees—many with decades of service—without hesitation. That sends a clear message about how employee loyalty is valued. What has been especially disappointing is the lack of interest in employee feedback. In all my years here, I was never asked for ideas on how my department or the company could operate more effectively, despite those doing the work often having the best insight into what needs improvement. To make matters worse, 50-hour workweeks have become the expectation rather than the exception. It’s difficult to see continued cuts to the workforce while executive compensation remains high.
