Pros

There are some very nice people working there; many of whom trying very hard.

Cons

The Canadian arm of the company can't seem to find its stride. Too many managers flowing in and out; each one with their own focus. They seem to be trying the Canadian arm like the American base, without realizing that there are unique issues in Canada. While they do tend to promote from within, they also seem to promote at a lower rate of pay than the incumbent and add more work to the load.

Pros

You can get low price on products that are almost expired. Benefits kick in on your first day. Beside that, I really don't know what to say no more...

Cons

People come and go after a week. Manager like to talk behind everyone's back. I was informed by one manager, the next victim that will be fired!. The manager can't control her stress, like to show a tantrum and like to talk bad about others like her own boss, sale rep and will share confidential employee family issue to anyone. They have so many investigations in this Company! Just be careful!
