Pros

Excellent medical benefits. RRSP matches up to 4%. Treated well by employer and work with a great group of people. Cafeteria with free lunch. Other benefits include, discounts on insurance, gym memberships, car rentals. Employee assistance program, advice on a variety of things, including legal advice. Longevity, you will always have a job. Annual 2%+/- raises. Semi annual reviews.

Cons

Full time status does not guarantee full time hours. Relatively low wages. Your 19% gratuity gets shared with upper management, 8% goes to about 50 server staff and the other 11% goes to management and sales, far fewer than 50 of them and they get the greater half. If you are changes departments or positions, you are expected to take on the wage of an external hire, your years of internal expertise is not considered. The grats on the bill is 19%, but budget for labour is 15%, so they get you for free! No work life balance, almost 24 hour work availability anywhere from 5am to 2 am. If you don't wish to have such a broad availability, you begin to lose shifts.

Pros

Great work environment, team was helpful and really nice, workload wasn’t overwhelming

Cons

Didn’t feel super included on the team as a contractor, expectations were consistently unclear, they tell you it’s temp to perm, but could be years before a permanent role is available
