Pros
The perks and benefits OMERS/Oxford Properties Group offered were amazing. Free breakfast every morning, snacks throughout the day, monthly events, bi-weekly Thirsty Thursdays with free alcohol, team lunches every month, etc... like the list go on. They definitely made sure to give every employee what they needed to have fun. The desks were huge, coffee was abundant, supplies and services were always available.
Cons
The work was repetitive, mundane, and uninspiring. You were doing the same thing all the time, and didn't have much room to grow and learn. There were no training packages or really any real training schedule, so you were just taught whenever by whoever was available .And many times people didn't really understand what they were doing or why they were really doing the things they do, they just did it. Most of the employees are older, and were uninspiring to talk to. Many struggled with how to use most microsoft office programs, or computers really, and because of that, many of the processes were excessive and longer than they had to be because no one wanted to convert the processes to on the computer. There was also no chance of moving up because everyone had been there forever, and you just had to wait till people retired to move up. Even then it becomes a seniority thing and not one based on merit.
