Pros
- Employees (non-management) are really good to work with. - Located in Downtown Vancouver. - Decent medical benefits with quite competitive starting salary.
Cons
- Management always sells the idea of "promoting from within" but always refuses to promote people to a more senior role, even if they are already performing senior-level tasks. What's more frustrating is they always try to bring outside people to fill in those positions, yet these people always get trained by the ones they refused to promote. - No raises/bonuses in the past four years (see the point above). - Expects employees to work overtime but will not compensate in any way, shape, or form other than an occasional pat in the back (will not even reimburse meal and/or transportation expenses related to the overtime!) - Change in the management every few months without any clear indication of the direction that they are going (they all seem clueless). - Decent medical benefits, but no other benefits at all. No RRSP matching, up to three weeks vacation only, and no other perks (coffee is the cheapest they could find, no free pop, nothing else) - Management refuses to upgrade 5-10 year old equipments even if they would have made the jobs much faster and much easier (cheap investment to increase productivity, but never gets approved). - Refuses to give recommendations to even the top performers - No clear points on the recent performance review and there is no follow-up after (salary adjustment or promotion).
