      OK but very stale

      Pros

      Benefits are good, work life balance OK but could be much better. For example, you can only work from home if you have other appointments (postal delivery, Dr). Most companies these days allow their employees moor flexibility to work from home. Very structured environment but overregulated both externally (insurance) and internally (process).

      Cons

      Systems are very old and although they are looking to improve, it makes for very slow and costly projects. Career paths are also very limited. They like to say they are a global company but it's really all driven by their Ontario office.

      Pros

      It is a well recognized company that is not horrible on a resume for future job hunts.

      Cons

      Management was atrocious and the environment was generally soul sucking. The efficiency tracking of employees was particularly problematic and made it very clear that I was merely a cog in a machine.
