Pros

Great benefits, periods of opportunity during reorg or change

Cons

No real, commonly understood plan from leadership down to individual teams. Legacy perspectives, attitudes and aversion to change make it hard to deliver

Pros

The entire floor of people to work with are amazing management seems to genuinely care about the people they work with.

Cons

Contractor has worked with OLG to create a stagnant pay growth, you are not eligible for paid vacations, benefits, pension or raises. You are paid significantly less than your colleagues performing the same work. Forced extra hours are a thing when they decide. Even while OLG claims dedication to Diversity EQAULITY and Inclusion you will be excluded from most programs available to those who have "earned" a way onto OLG payroll. But expected to uphold all of their team expectations.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad that you find our place of work amazing and our leadership caring. We also hear your concerns about the experience of contingent workers. As a Crown corporation, these roles are managed through external partners, but we recognize the importance of fairness, inclusion, and clear expectations for everyone contributing to our work. Retention and service quality are priorities, and feedback like yours is important as we continue to review how we support our extended workforce. Team OLG
