Pros

good benefits, good incentives and pay. They also have occasional employee engagement activities that make work fun

Cons

Management in my location was awful. She was mean rude. Didn't try to develop. She was very set in her ways and not wiling to work with the team as a team. It was her way or no way. For example... it was the end of the world to have a cup of water or tape dispenser at your desk. I couldn't have my everyday resources and tools available within easy reach.

Pros

Coming from a long time in the public service I was a bit nervous of the work pace, however it has been a great transition. The team and leadership supplied me with all the equipment and most of the programs I needed to get started on the first day. I have constant support for any of my ideas and my business insights even though I'm new to this industry.

Cons

The four day in office requirement is a bit much, though being new it is good to be in and meet colleagues. There seems to be a few different groups within the same business line that are working/competing towards the same project goal and the lower management are unaware the project was shared with other groups. Duplicity of the project has created a "my outcome is better" attitude.

Pros

The pros are the benefits, the pay could be higher for all that you learn and have to go through for ten weeks. They offer tuition assistance and opportunity for upskilling and advancing in such little time and the remote flexibility is great too

Cons

Management sucks and of course they have their favorites and then they have the people they target like myself. They micromanage bad and are quick to give you an occurrence for nothing. Their systems are so slow and then they blame you for being five ten minutes late logging in. They want you to tell them when you get up to breathe, go to the bathroom and they push for you to take calls and know boatloads of info after on 3 weeks of training. What they don’t know is that I will sue for any wrong doings or discrimination and I keep records of everything
