Cons
Cowan was definitely the worst employee experience I have ever had in my life. Safe to say I am traumatized by the toxic work environment to the point where my new employer (which I am VERY happy with) has asked “what toxic environment did you come from to make you feel this way?” Management picks favourites, and it’s extremely obvious if you’re not one of them, they make your life absolutely miserable. They do so by giving you mundane, repetitive and for a lack of a better term “grunt work”. Especially if you’re new or in training or waiting for any licensing to transfer. If your manager doesn’t like you, you will be frozen out of events you’re “expected” to attend, they just “won’t be enough tickets for you to attend” and then they will come down on you for not attending. They boast about a “hybrid work environment” however if you choose to WFH, they make you feel guilty and if you’re new, you’re expected to be in office every day of the week. Management is extremely fake, and does not care who is around when they are trash talking other employees. They will also embarrass you on teams calls in front of your colleagues to bring you down even more. Oh, and if your manager gives you any type of criticism at all, believe me, it’s not constructive. That’s Cowan giving you a “verbal warning”. They dispose of people like garbage when it suits them and HR team is no help and not very responsive! Do not work for Cowan for the sake of your mental health!
