Excellant work-life balance
10 Mar 2023 - NTS Specialist, Data Science, Analytics and Visualization in Scarborough, ONRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
1) Work-life balance 2) Health insurance 3) Decent Vacation (15 days / per year)
Cons
Mostly hybrid ( Have to go to office 2-3 days a week), still it might not be a con and depends on the individual.

Overworked and underpaid
29 May 2023 - Small Business Customer Service Representative in Vancouver, BCRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
- the benefits dental and eye coverage through Manulife was great. Almost 95% coverage - my managers were great and my staff and colleges were some of the best people I've worked with and still keppin touch with.
Cons
- whenever you or your department is excelling at your job, and going to make certain bonuses, the upper managerment would add additonal jobs and criteria to us to render us away from target goals to get those bonuses. - my job load would change so frequently. i was titled as a customer service rep for small business but I was also doing : - administrative desk help - event planning - VP requests - sales analysis - tech and IT teacher and trainer - IT program administrator - virtual trainer - online chat support - all thsi extra work was due to my exceeding in my initial role. But I was NEVER compensated more to take on any of these dutiues, nor was there ever an amendment to my job title, officially. - Initial days of hire were touch for getting a set schedule. I worked almost all saturdays and closing shifts from 1pm-9pm my first 2 years at this position.

Good Work Life Balance, Hard to Make an Impact
15 Mar 2023 - Project Manager in Toronto, ONRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
- Great work life balance - Great benefits: physical & mental health, dental, eye care, etc. - Best RRSP matching and share contribution plan I have ever seen. I was able to accumulate $15k in contributions after working there for just 2 years. A great way to save money from your paycheck (note this was in 2021, and at the entry level) - Culture is not as bad as you would assume: lots of people of all ages working here, easy to make close friends, social opportunity, flexible working locations, ability to move laterally within the company
Cons
- Work is not as flexible as it used to be - i.e., mandatory in office quota - Office locations are brutal if you live downtown - Mississauga and North York - Hard to make an impact - it takes YEARS to complete a project and see the impact. Slow moving makes the work life balance great though. A good place to coast. - Hard to be rewarded for your work due to headcount limitations and no scheduled salary increases - pretty sure this is common across most large organizations

Positive Work Environment with Ample Opportunities for Learning and Growth
3 Jun 2023 - Cyber Security Analyst in Montreal, QCRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
The company fosters a collaborative and supportive atmosphere, where employees are encouraged to share their ideas, ask for help when needed, and work together towards common goals.
Cons
The company's organizational structure might be bureaucratic, with a rigid hierarchy in place, making decision-making processes slow and potentially hindering innovation and creativity.

Good entry level job
4 Jun 2023 - Sales Associate in Burnaby, BCRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Decent work-life balance. Good benefit
Cons
Frustrated customers. Room for improvement on pay scale.
- Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
- Stable growth - lots of learning opportunities as mostly follows best practices and standard guidelines provided by the established organizations like PMI - Opportunity to be moved to other teams/departments - invests money on certificaitons and education - career development - Brand value - industry standard salary (even if on the lower end of the average salary range but still within the industry salary range for a role)
Cons
- just like any other big corporation, lots of corporate politics and bureaucracy (only hard work will not help you get you to the leadership roles) - promotions take time given the bureaucracy - on the job training is minimum to almost non existent (sink or swim)
Continue reading - Former Employee, more than 10 years★★★★★
Pros
Customer Service was great Co worker's awesome KPI coachable Benefits great
Cons
They started me a at a low wage and I understand I didn't have experience at the time I got promoted but after 11 years within the company and getting paid less than employees starting at the same position is unreasonable and unfair. Then when you start complaining then they lay you off
