Pros

If you work hard, you will get rewarded handsomely. The benefits are pretty good. You get benefits pretty much immediately after you start.

Cons

You'll get micromanage to death. They show preferential treatments to certain employees (i.e., friends). It's like you're in high school. Need managers that know what they are doing. Moral is often very poor. You feel like you are walking on egg shells all the time. The have poor people management skill. Often use threaten people's job security in attempts to generate results.

Pros

1. High earnings potential provided: -You are willing to work extensive unpaid overtime. -You don't value your work/life balance. -You're good friends with management (outside of work). 2. Comprehensive product suite.

Cons

Unlike it's US and international counterparts, CarereBuilder Canada is mismanaged and overrun with it's fair share of politics. Senior management offer very little support, direction or leadership. Micromanagement to the extreme. Metrics are measured hourly. Think you're in outside sales? Think again. You're in a call centre. Combine this and a few other things together and you get a company whose turnover is absolutely unreal. Reps revolve weekly. As motivation for hard work and closed deals you will be threatened with termination on a regular basis. Regardless of whether or not you've hit your goals your continued employment will hinge upon arbitrary numbers and fictitious goals set by management. In case you're wondering - none of these imaginary goals have anything to do with whether or not you actually hit your targets.

Pros

Good earning potential. Additional incentives. Great suite of products to services clients.

Cons

Contrary to the American CEO, the Canadian office has no direction or leadership. Senior management pushes reps to work extended hours and micromanages more than anything. The revolving door that was witnessed in my tenure is ludicrous. Your job is continuously dangled infront of you. No security in any way. No real motivation from management.
