Pros

Free hays pen when you start

Cons

I could only last in the Calgary office for less than a year because of the deplorable management. It was not at all supportive, blame was constantly put on staff. Managers would give you one direction to follow, then the next month completely flip the plan. Hays has some strong brand power but it wasn't built on Calgary's reputation. Unfortunately the Calgary office seems to be the rotten apple. Avoid.
