Pros

- If you have no work experience in your field it's a good place to gain experience (but once you do move on!) - no politics - compensation is ok

Cons

- Staff brainwashed to think its a collaborative, growing, dynamic company! - Abusive senior management - No real management (only the 3 owners) the other Directors, Managers really have no say - Lots of Turnover - people get fired every month! Revolving door! This will never change! - Long hours of work is expected 60+ hours - Swearing, cursing, intimidating, fearful culture! - You do what you are told - not allowed to speak up. - Expected to work your butt off all the time ... it's never enough! - Health & Safety not a priority - If you have any experience in your field (it could be waste of time for you) - They will work you hard and to max and let you go once they no longer need you

Pros

Good pay and benefits. Flexible hybrid work.

Cons

Constant layoffs. I was laid off 7 months after starting, while on a business trip in a Kroger parking lot, with no explanation given. Layoff process was pathetic, no communication and had to threaten a lawyer to receive my severance payout. American politics are often discussed by Canadian upper management. Foul, unprofessional language is frequently used. Very unprofessional, unstable work environment. I would recommend looking anywhere else for employment.
