    works at 

    Info-Tech Research Group

    Hello Everyone, I graduated with a master's degree in Data Science and Analytics in Fall 2022. And since then I have been working as a Research specialist but after working for more than 6 months here I understood I am not really learning anything from this job. I am reaching out to people working at Bell Canada , TD , ATB , Scotiabank and other organizations to provide me referral for Data Analyst Position. Thank you in advance.

      Overworked and underpaid

      29 May 2023 - Small Business Customer Service Representative in Vancouver, BC
      Recommend
      CEO Approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - 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, ON
      Recommend
      CEO Approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - 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

      Pros

      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.

      Business Outlook

      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)

      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
