Pros

1) Decent office location in Downtown Toronto. 2) 9 to 5ish work hours

Cons

The whole Toronto office is a glorified Sales office to sell sub-par investment performance to trusting Canadian individuals and institutions. Management lack any expertise. Below market salary No training Toxic culture No esprit d'corp No professional progression available No career development Intellectual wasteland (using Excel Macros is a transformative innovation) No positive feedback or interaction with management Admin/reception staff are morons Made to show up to work during Christmas holidays even though there is no work during that season False promises of paying for professional education such as CIM, CFA, CSC, etc. - they will find some loophole to weasel out of it

Pros

Job only as good as immediate manager. Salary is Ok ish Benefit options are ok not great.

Cons

1) Retaliation is a way of life at this company going back to 2018 and becoming worse since 2) Mid level managers are very efficient at passively insulting the Teams they are responsible for. 3) It is nearly impossible to advance in the company. 4) When you try to post to another department - your Mid level manager will do the best to stop you from advancing. Some have close friends in HR that will even have you submit a new application in an attempt to accuse the other department of recruiting you. I have experienced this. 5) The only way to increase pay and experience is by leaving the company. 6) It use to be a culture of lets help others when there is a problem, now it is lets find who to blame for upper mangers rushing a project before all risks are identified. 7) If you are taking a new Job - professionally push for higher Salary once you are in raises will be very small.
