Pros

As Swiss citizen born in Geneva. I moved to Vancouver in 2015. With time, I had the chance to develop my Network and got referred to Sage. Currently, Sage was looking for French Speaking or bilingual. I graduated in Switzerland in a private university as an Art Director advertising marketing. With many other experiences that I developed with time while working between Paris and Geneva. I decided to apply for Sage Vancouver. Lucky me! I got my first interview with the VP, director, human resource and the manager (all at the same time). When I compare the culture in this company with how we are operating in Switzerland. I was very surprised! They have a great culture, and everyone is so nice and helpful. As it was one of my first jobs that I contracted here in Canada. I’m very thankful to be here. I learned a lot from this company, and they are very welcoming with new hires in a great and positive vibe! You start with a PAID training for 1 month before you are working on the floor. 7 months have already passed as a new account manager. I’m very happy to be here to learn more and develop my skills while they have directed me to be successful. They also hire so many people that’s from all over the world which creates for a very diverse environment! I think Sage Vancouver has probably one of the most riches in term of culture and ethnicities. Everyone accepts each other and they are all helping each other in order to move forward for our Success. What a great team!

Cons

Pros

The only real positive is the people on the front lines. There are incredibly talented, hardworking employees who care deeply about customers and each other. Unfortunately, they're carrying far more than they should because leadership consistently fails to support them.

Cons

If you're looking for career growth, work-life balance, or leadership that values its employees, this is not the place. Promotions are rare, and when leadership positions do open up, qualified internal candidates are often overlooked. Watching knowledgeable, experienced employees repeatedly get passed over while less-prepared leaders are put in charge is incredibly discouraging. The reward for being a high performer is simple: more work. If you're competent, expect to take on responsibilities that belong to your manager, another team, or even leadership. You'll solve problems that aren't yours, train people above your pay grade, and be expected to clean up situations created by poor planning. Don't expect additional compensation or a promotion for doing it. Work-life balance is practically nonexistent. Being off the clock doesn't necessarily mean you're off work. Managers reach out through Teams and personal cell phones at all hours! They even joke about how funny is that mangers work at all hours around the clock. You also work a shift which "on-call" this includes evenings, weekends, holidays, and during approved time off. Boundaries are not respected, and saying "no" doesn't feel like a real option.The culture is driven almost entirely by metrics and fear. Employees constantly worry about being placed on performance plans, because it's a constant threat from managers. What's most telling is that even managers have admitted, in private, that they're afraid of losing their own jobs if they push back on this culture. If the people with more authority and more job security are working scared, what does that mean for the employees below them with far less protection? This isn't a management style — it's fear running downhill through the entire structure. Morale is incredibly low and it's nothing a pizza party can fix. Stress and burnout are so common that it feels like everyone either knows someone on a performance plan or someone out on medical leave because of the constant pressure/stress. Instead of asking why so many people are struggling, leadership seems to focus on numbers. Micromanagement is relentless they have even implemented "Workforce Management" PTO is managed by a system. Trust is talked about but rarely demonstrated. Even when you're the person repeatedly asked to rescue difficult customer situations or fix operational problems, you're still second-guessed and monitored every step of the way. It creates an environment where people are afraid to make decisions and are constantly looking over their shoulder. Training is another major weakness. New employees are expected to become productive quickly despite inconsistent onboarding and a training experience that often feels disorganized and unnecessarily confrontational. Instead of building confidence, it leaves people frustrated and dependent on coworkers to learn the job. The hardest-working employees seem to suffer the most. They work late nights, weekends, and holidays while carrying responsibilities well beyond their job descriptions. Over time, many become exhausted, disengaged, or leave altogether.
