Company provides PPE. 7.5hr work days.
Cons
If something bad happens, don't expect it to be adequately addressed. Rather, expect to receive promises of help that aren't delivered on, or receive 'help' that doesn't actually address the problem.
- Former Employee, more than 10 years★★★★★

Pros
Supportive growth culture in that the BCH will pay for 75% of UBC's DULE program fees. Smart and trustworthy people to work with. Co-workers are supportive and will apply chat with you to help problem solve. The managers I had were extremely supportive of the team and valued our opinions. You don't run out of work. Benefits and time off are great. Great work/life balance. BCH is supportive of working from home
Cons
Slow to get movement on files. Slow to move up in the organization. Lots of work to do. Leasing department needs more support staff to properly support the amount of work needing to be done.
