Pros
- Flexible hours (min 7.5 hours/37.5 hrs per week) - Variety of snacks available in the kitchen to all staff. - Most employees are easy to get along with. - Fun work, for the most part. - Great entry level position - gained a lot of experience right out of school.
Cons
- Inconsistent management between departments. Some department leads let some things slide, while others are much too overbearing. Some are very distant, while others are too involved. - Inconsiderate management (moving the office around the downtown core, or even out of it - making it difficult for those who commute by GO train to get to/from work) - Management is favourable toward certain employees (preferential treatment is very obvious). - Poor treatment and acknowledgement of employees. No "thank you's" where deserved. - High turnover rate among employees that is seemingly dismissed among management. Perhaps try to find out why people keep leaving, and it's not uncommon for employees to stay for approximately a year. - There is a severe lack of CLEAR policies (sick days, vacation days) or policies at all (bereavement). Any policies in place aren't necessarily followed strictly. - The company is heavily relied upon the honour system for employee time which works in most cases, but allows for people to take advantage of the situation.
