      Pros

      -Software and computers kept up to date. -Hot food can be bought onsite. -Secure building. -Job role can give you a broad range of work experience if you want. -Good co-workers. -On site gym. -Corporate discounts.

      Cons

      -Below average pay. -Lots of project creep. -Perks and benefits slowly eroding away. Loss of sick days, poorer benefits packages. -Marketing department at the mercy of executive leadership making lots of last minute changes on projects. -Teams are understaffed with constant need of having to work overtime to get projects done. Everyone is stressed. -Hard to get raises from management. Performance reviews dictate raise amounts and are conducted in a way to minimize importance of accomplishments. Performance expectations are kept vague to make it hard to argue you've met or exceeded them. -Feels like worker's compensation is being sacrificed overtly for shareholder gains. They have that corporate pizza party meme vibe.

      Pros

      There are quite legitimately some of the best human beings I have ever had the opportunity of working with. Those who love the organization and their teams provide a fantastic working experience. The opportunities to learn are extensive within their learning platforms.

      Cons

      Bullys are promoted and supported. SHort term gains are paramout so the management put in place often works by implementing abusive and fear based tactics. To look good you have to make someone else look bad. If you mention an executive or senior leader portrays bad behaviour you are immediately informed that you do so at your own peril. "Everyone gets bullied, we just put up with it".

      Pros

      I used to be a sales representative for The Brick. My store was floor open, it means that I had to sell (and to know) everything we had on the floor : furniture, mattresses, electronics and household appliances. This way there was good opportunities to make money from commissions (TVs, appliances, mattresses with their addons were the most profitable). On weekends, there was a sufficient flow of customers to be busy all day : it meant more sales opportunities.

      Cons

      My store was floor open, it means that I had to sell (and to know) everything we had on the floor : furniture, mattresses, electronics and household appliances. But the downside is that I had no formation, I just had to learn by myself, by looking at the flyers, the website and continually asking other reps for help. So I was basically selling products I didn't know anything about. In addition to this, I had quotas to reach weekly (basically warranties and addons) in order to keep my job. So, I always had to put pressure on customers to achieve good results, but it was difficult for me, since it was against my ethics.
