Pros

Not everyone who works here is a soul-sucking demon. But, honestly, the percentage of good, kind people is so drastically low and none of them are in management positions.

Cons

*cracks knuckles in preparation* Here we go: –The management does not care about the employees' mental health or whether or not they are being abused on a daily basis (which they are) –You are underpaid for the amount of work you are requested to do –There is little to no credit given to you when you do go above and beyond –Comaplaints that are filed are ignored –Upper management looks the other way when mid-management yells at, swears at, and verbally abuses the employees who are under them –You end your day feeling worthless due to the way you have been treated on a daily basis –The atmosphere and culture is toxic and cruel –Not a week would go by that the women who worked with me in CBO would either cry at work, go home and cry, or feel so pressured and stressed about their underpaid job that literally all of us suffered mentally in some way – For a company who thinks so highly of themselves and thinks themselves to be a leader in company culture and in health care overall, the way that they allow their employees to be abused—and yes, it 100% is abuse that their employees endure—is appalling. Look: I can go on and on about how horrendous and cruel this company is. And maybe it is unfair to say that every department at CBI experiences these things (CBO certainly did). But Glassdoor is a place where people can go to read about employees past experiences and receive honest opinions and insight. I was not planning on leaving this, but it became clear that the last few positive reviews were written by current management employees in an attempt to boost the company's image. CBI is lying about what they can d for you, what they can offer you, and what they want to do to help you. They do not care about you, they do not want to help you, they do not want to compensate you fairly; they want you to shut up, do as they say, and tow the company line all while they yell, swear, and abuse you. Sure, I will concede that not everyone who works for CBI may agree with my opinion or experience, but if you want to work for an employer who borderline tortures their employees and then lies about their culture on Glassdoor, then, by all means, apply for a job with this abusive, cruel, disastrous company. Just be aware that you are signing up with a dictatorship and, in doing so, will lose a piece of your soul and a huge chunk of your self-confidence.

this company allows bullying and belittling

Pros

When it was We Care, it was a caring, positive environment.

Cons

Management in Toronto allows offices to have people who harass, bully and demean others - and they promote them! HR and the Director for Kingston and Belleville turn their backs to the issues, while staff leave one by one, or go on stress leave to get out of the toxic, negative atmosphere. Service Canada is very aware of them and the amount of staff who have left due to current management, and their breaches of policies and human rights.

Too big of a company to be this bad

Pros

There are a lot of nice people in the company. You can form some great work friendships here.

Cons

I worked at CBI’s head office for over 5 years and I wish I could be more positive about them but it’s really bad. This is a breakdown of how they operate: post a job that combines at least 2 jobs into one, interview people with experience that’s junior to the role they’re hiring for so they can pay less, hire person for the role, don’t give them the resources they need to succeed at the job, but encourage them so they believe they’re in a stable role in a stable company, then let the person continue to chase the carrot on the stick in small increments so they have just enough to stick around, and no time or motivation to look for another job. I’ve witnessed this over and over again. I joined before the company became the size it is now but it kills me to see how they do a lot of this intentionally. I’ve heard some of the senior executives “joke” about misleading their employees. Enough is enough. I’m in the process of leaving the company and feel it’s too important to not warn others. Take a position here if you are really desperate and need something, but don’t stop looking. This won’t be the place for you to stay long-term. Everyone who’s been here for a long time joined well before the recent growth but anyone who’s joined after 2014 is easily expendable. And the executives treat them accordingly.
