Pros
The people. They are a group of dedicated, passionate and hard working individuals. No matter what the salary is, no matter how many hours they work overtime, they will always be loyal. Clearly the interview process in ensuring that the right people are chosen for their culture, works. As a former manager, I can honestly say that I may never work with better people then these. Although, it's not the company that makes them, it's their individual passion to succeed that does.
Cons
I was wrongfully dismissed without cause from G Adventures which was determined as being discrimination through association. I am not the only one. There has been an increase in wrongful dismissals over the last 3 years. Beyond this, I'd watch out for: - Benefits being offered in lieu of pay. The company always preaches that they pay industry standards, however this isn't true. In addition to being forced to work overtime in excess, the salary is a joke. - Fear tactics. People are often threatened or insulted publicly by the CEO. His ego has taken over his ability to do his own job. Pretty sad. I was also told once that I should consider giving up my personal life if I wanted to move up in the company and sent emails from the CEO insulting me. - Don't confuse their Core Values as being something they live by in the work place. The company does wonderful things in communities, but they do not apply to their own staff. - Increasingly insecure CEO. It's sad when a great innovator turns his focus off his ideas to his fear of failure.
