Pros

Any job will be easy after working here

Cons

- Low pay for work load/expectation of staff - Office is run through fear of management (Meera T) - The worst training I've ever experienced, first 3 days locked in a room with a computer and company policy training videos followed by 'sink or swim' on the job 'training' - All the office employee's are extremely quiet and unhappy, afraid to speak out. - The company seems to take advantage of newly immigrated employee's that don't have many options on their temporary work visas. - Management are very quick to reprimand staff, be-little people in the office and allow little room for growth or coaching, you are expected to understand everything immediately. - No health benefits, sick pay or holiday pay. - Witnessed bullying from management of staff - You will be provided with no equipment or laptop to help your job, the absolute minimum will be provided for the workload and if you are considering working from home you should have enough money to buy everything you need, even during peak covid no exceptions made.

Pros

A few nice people left Good location in Mississauga for head office of Canada. Large internatational co.

Cons

Very poor upper management leadership in the functions in Canada and some of the business lines. MGT in the US doesn't care either unfortunately as CDN ops are treated as the ugly step child Very poor employee engagement Some employees are literally quitting without even giving 2 weeks notice they are so fed up Horrible work life balance-eg..the finance team has to work long unpaid hours including weekends and all stat holidays which is ridiculous...we feel bad for them Other business lines are the same and employees are counting the minutes to getting out and getting good work life balance with good pay Very high turnover either via quitting or getting fired All about cost costing Pay is within lowest quartile in the industry No salary increases for most Cost cutting constantly while the work is piled on. More with less. No growth opportunities Mgt gets their annual salary increases and bonuses while the rest of us who do all the work get nothing
