      Don't do it.

      3 Mar 2023 - Coordinator in Coquitlam, BC

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There was a work from home program when I was there.

      Cons

      Shortly after I was hired, my manager went on mat leave (no one knew until 3 weeks prior to her leave). Total shock, but what are you going to do. The manager who took over me was AMAZING. There was some weird and suss activity when she came back from mat leave though. So, be aware that there is favouritism. Everyone will act like everything is fine, but that's probably because the nepotism doesn't affect the majority of people in the company.

      Not a good employer

      13 Mar 2023 - Retail Merchandiser in Scarborough, ON
      Recommend
      CEO Approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Employee Discounts are always a great perk

      Cons

      Very unprofessional environment, lack of communication, they talk down to you when you ask questions. Head office employees are hit or miss. I met one really great guy, and one really awful catty unprofessional woman from head office. There is a serious lack of professionalism, lack of organization, lack of privacy for employee information, and little to no training.
