Pros

Great corporate discounts, it started out as a fun friendly lively place to work, but as the company went public, the quality of their goods dropped, and the standards of their management took a dive as well.

Cons

Regional team management 'played favourites.' No scope for corporate mobility or advancing careers within the company. I worked with the company throughout my college education and repeatedly inquired about internships and higher level positions to no avail.

Pros

Good time-off package. Holiday week off for office employees. Historically respected work-life balance and flexible working. Good employee discount and maternity leave.

Cons

C-suite pushing a mandatory 3 days in-office after 5+ years of boasting flexibility as a cornerstone of their employee benefits package. Lack of clear and thoughtful communication of this new policy was frustrating and disheartening as an employee. Leadership, starting with the CEO, is at an all-time low of the last 6 years of working in their corporate office. Horrifying to see how poorly initiatives are getting rolled out, likely getting pushed down from board of directors. Would anticipate a rough transition into the company if you choose to take a role replacing the dozens of employees possibly being forced to leave the company due to RTO.
