Pros

Ability to move up within the company Work/Life balance If you are in school, management does a really good job of scheduling your hours to accommodate school. Highly recommend if you would like to further your experience in hospitality, many jobs ask for 2-3+ years experience. Though First Service will train based off of customer service experience. It is a great entry level job to the hospitality industry.

Cons

Wage is tough to live on but doable especially if your going to school, then it is worth it. If you are a young student and live on your own - make sure to get a room for rent or basement suite (then the wage is ideal) if you live on your own, unfortunately you may need to pick up a second job.

Pros

Great company culture with strong core values and a collaborative environment. As a remote employee, the flexibility and work-life balance are a huge plus. The IT environment is also very dynamic — there are multiple systems, platforms, and technologies in use, so the work rarely feels repetitive or boring. The company is supportive of employee growth and development, offering training opportunities and access to a large online learning library. Another positive sign is the number of long-term employees; many people have been with the company for 5+ years, which says a lot about overall employee satisfaction and stability.

Cons

The company frequently changes business processes and technologies. While innovation is good, it can sometimes feel like just when you’ve fully mastered a system or workflow, a new tool or process is introduced. Workload can also fluctuate depending on business initiatives and project demands. Because it’s a large organization, there are a lot of layers of leadership — supervisors, managers, directors, VPs, etc. At times, it can be unclear who the correct point of contact or decision-maker is for certain situations.
