Pros

* Great vacation time and quick build up to extra weeks * Most of the staff are wonderful and friendly in all the offices * Competitive Salary after about 5-10 years experience with the company * Education and some training/seminars are part or fully paid * Work/Life balance is better than some other companies I've worked with * Good health benefits * There are a lot of career opportunities with the company (partly due to the high turnover)

Cons

* Management can be dismissive, verbally abusive and emotionally abusive * I have gone to higher up managers in the company and nothing has been done * Going through HR would put me at risk as my name would be made public to the manager and I have dealt with years of abuse and know this would not solve anything but make things worse * Through conversations with other staff across the country I realize that I'm not alone and that management tends to get away with this behaviour * This company has a high turnover, I have watched several colleagues up and leave because of management and pay

Pros

Great benefits and nothing more

Cons

1. Your life depends on which team you’re in. Some of the teams are good but some are really really bad. 2. Some managers lack the knowledge and skills that a manager should have. No direction, they don’t even know how to do the task and ask you to finish. When things go wrong, they blame you. 3. Discrimination - only favours specific race and gender. Treat everyone differently. 4. Micro management in everything which doesn’t make any sense, they just want to please their upper tier management. 5. Hierarchy - the managers think that they are the king/queen, treat you as a number, treat you as a robot, just a machine to help them put numbers together. Doesn’t engage with people. 6. One-way performance review, doesn’t give you a chance to reflect on your feedback. 7. No career development. Just focus on making profit for the company. Not investing in employees. Managers discourage career aspirations and ambitions. Not allowing for client relationship development/networking or career development. 8. Don’t join this company unless you’re of a particular gender/race/is local.
