A great company to work for...until they exit the business

Business Outlook

Pros

Great co workers, fair pay. A good place to start at the bottom and grow. Treated people very fairly when they laid off 800 people.

Cons

Management was out of touch with upper management (Toronto). There was little to no opportunity to advance for some one mid career.

Pros

Flexible work environment. Great employees to work with. Everyone worked very well together to get the job done at the end of the day. Created lasting friendships within the industry at this job.

Cons

Since I worked in the field it was impossible to move up within the company. It was ultimately the reason I left. Annual raises were only the cost of living. The job itself often went above the actual job description.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great HR practices, Lots of direction when starting out. Good pay package.

Cons

New IT processes put in place are cumbersome, and hoops to jump through often have no relation to the project getting completed. Process for the sake of process, not for the sake of making the business better. Business is catching on however, and will soon notice the extra time and dollars being spent on non-value-add activities, pendulum will begin to swing in other direction soon I hope.
