Pros

- Competitive salary, although it could be higher - Strict 9 to 5, type of deal, rarely overtime. Some work, life balance

Cons

- Sales department, one of the most depressing departments to work in. If Customer Service decide they do not want to handle a responsibility, guess what it's Sales who has to!! Hundreds of calls to be made to clients or hundreds of faxes to be sent - Few hard working sales analysts, but most are very lazy, when they have tasks that are tedious/ time consuming or repetitive and manual, they give these tasks to the support. They also take a lot of vacations, I never knew a company gave that many to people who don't do work. - The support is constantly overworked and sales analysts tasks were handed over frequently. It did not matter if you did not have the background i.e, customer service or long time use of their system. Poor training in quality and time. - Out of date computer system that made everything that much more difficult and monotonous - I've literally witnessed at least 2 employees crying due to poor treatment i.e. being overworked by management or verbally abused by the warehouse manager. - Management laid off all the good sales directors and senior/ long time sales manager, anyone that treated their employees well, were cheerful / empathetic, fun-loving and sweet were gone in a blink of an eye. No farewell gatherings or no tokens of appreciation. Also witnessed callous firing/ laid off of a veteran who was having a tough year. All cons are directed toward Mississauga branch - Management that is left -- incompetent, heartless, and self-serving - Funds constantly transferred to head company in US, so there were some cash flow problems, maybe that is why they laid off employees - No room for advancement - Very old building that was hardly cleaned properly, lots of dust bunnies rolling around. Microwaves were disgusting. They moved, hopefully, the cleaning habits changed.

Pros

1. relatively aloof culture for ICs to grow on their own 2. on and off few people are good 3. Actually consultants in india are better than some full time hires to work with. The h1bs in full time roles and some GCs/Americans are just 1 step away from unemployment line but there are some good quality consultants who can be directed well to bring in good work. Problem is lack of direction when middle management is just running after money.

Cons

1. top most management is clueless to what is going post the middle tier 2. middle tiers - VPs/SVPs/Directors and Sr. Directors are among the worst. Mostly cast offs from Consulting firms/Tech cos/Other Healthcare firms, this group has some of the worst, clueless folks who just think very narrowly about how to get rid of problems, maybe craft a story for higher ups. Get rid of this layer ( so called people management ) and co. could shine better on the work of ICs, decent software engineers and regular rank and file. 3. Main money maker distribution is different from tech group and the IT here is almost comical - 2 years ago in 2024 there were "directors" bringing AI agents with 90% hallucination .. I mean that has got to be an industry first!
