Person seem don't have even basic skills on managing the stuff and very uncomfortable when you asked questions , trying to avoid direct contact/communication . Don't have basic soft skills and only got consultant position because of some relations inside the company. Always trying to hide and speak thru other people .

Cons

- Top mgmt can be political

Cons

Management is top heavy. There are more Directors, VP's, Sr. VP's than there are actual employees. People are promoted based on tenure, not on merit and capability. Lots of political stuff and culture is closed minded and staff primarily consists of people who have been there for 20+ years. Lots of pointless meetings for the sake of having meetings. In the time that I was there, I have seen multiple Managers and regular staff terminated. One day they are here. The next day they are gone. No reason given. Tenured staff are aware that the company does a "purge" of staff every November. This is the place you come to if you want your career to go no where, it you want to bang you head against the wall in frustration, and if you want to spend your days trying to get things done, but constantly being stymied. Thought the benefits and salary are above average, it doesn't make up for the fact that Directors and VP's have no direction and focus. And when things do not go as planned, they will throw you under the bus to take the blame. This is the type of place where. The culture is like high school, where Director level people will complain about you to your own Director if you say or do something they don't like. No one has the spine to call out the elephant in the room, in order to actually move ahead to get stuff done and favoritism is rampant. They all want to close their eyes and pretend they aren't part of the problem. Honestly, coming to work here was one of the biggest mistakes of my life

Cons

Unstable income if you're not self motivated

Cons

Have to keep yourself motivated. Don't get distracted by anything. Hearing no starts to become personal. Each week is a new pay period so there is no guarantee of income

Cons

Managers walks by you like you are invisible
Get treated like chidren
Have to pay for parking so TTC is cheaper,

Cons

There is no way to become a Branch Manager. Highly political environment. Managers are greedy and have ultimate control. They can take recruits away at any time. Recruiting reps is not worthwhile as there is little reward for the effort and no guarantee to keep the rep as your Mgr can take at any time. Lots of empty promises and bait and switch on commision. Incentive trips are lame and not worthwhile.

Cons

The structure of the business made it so that the customer care department were the bottom feeders of the organization often being treated as workhorses.

Cons

Some managers were very strict and harsh. the pay is also not the highest and must pay for parking as well which will decrease your overall pay

Cons

As a small company, there isn't a lot of room to move to new roles.
