      Pros

      Office is close to subway Clients can be good to work with Most non-management employees are good and smart people

      Cons

      Overtime is expected and never paid even though the legal requirement they have to pay it. Not enough desks and space for all of their employees. Contractor aren't treated well, kept on month to month without any advance notice. Personal cell phone is expected to be used for work and not paid for. Interview process is very hard but they pay very low salaries. Thought I could grow there but they rarely promote from within. Culture is one of fear. Employees aren't treated with respect. Favourites are chosen, often friends of management who get things others do not. Constant criticism from management. Always putting employees down, sometimes yelling. Very disappointing place to work. Tried very hard to see the best in people there. Most new people hired don't last more than a few weeks because they find better jobs and more money. Management is the biggest part of the problem and they don't listen to what anyone says. All of the good people leave.

      Thank you for your feedback on BrandActive. BrandActive works very hard to create the right environment for people to do their best work – from an environmental and a cultural perspective. We are still located on the subway but in a bright, modern, well-equipped office with gorgeous views. Our culture emphasizes treating everyone with respect and ensuring that employees really enjoy their work. In our most recent Employee Engagement survey, the vast majority of employees agreed with the statement “My manager treats all employees fairly and equally”. They also agreed with the statement “My manager has a sincere interest in my well-being”. In terms of work hours, BrandActive takes a flexible approach – allowing employees the flexibility to set their hours to meet the needs of their clients but also their personal lives.

      Pros

      - close to downtown core

      Cons

      - Expect to sacrifice your social life, no life at all - Senior management are full of workaholics - DO NOT WORK HERE unless you are desperately looking for a job - You will get crapped on every single day - No appreciation or recognition, only negative feedback - No promotion especially if the management cant talk to you about restaurants and wine - this company's a joke

      Good potential but ultimately very disappointing to have worked here!

      Pros

      Interesting Projects. Good location. Benefits are pretty good. Some smart people that I have every worked here. Hard working people.

      Cons

      Horrible managers. Unhealthy culture. People being recognized for their hard work are not skilled or deserving. High staff turnover - especially if you don't agree with your manager. If you don't agree with their opinion you are automatically on the chopping block.
