Pros

Hybrid working model for most departments. In the office Tuesday to Thursday and then working remotely Monday and Friday. Company matches RRSP contributions, plus there's the option to participate in additional savings programs after one year of employment. Additional vacation time the longer you stay with the company. Cool work travel experiences depending on what department you work in. Office is in accessible location.

Cons

All full-time employees are required to complete a diversity training run by a group called...White Men as Full Diversity Partners. You're telling me there wasn't one group out there not founded by white men that the League could have picked instead?. Employees are required to cover own travel costs for work (excluding flights) and then submit to finance for reimbursement. What if you can't afford to do this?. Did not meet the HR rep for Canada until my exit interview. No HR orientation (apparently NYC employees get one, but not in Canada??). Wasn't required to complete mandatory provincial trainings for new employees (Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS), Worker/Supervisor Health and Safety Awareness, Workplace Violence and Harassment). You don't have any vacation the first year of your employment, but you do have personal days. The amount of vacation you have your second year depends on when you were hired in your first year. For example, if there are 14 vacation days for employees employed for 1-3 years, and you were hired halfway through the fiscal year, you would only have 7 vacation days in your second year. You won't have a full allotment of vacation days until your third year. Career advancement seems difficult depending on your department. For example, if your manager doesn't get promoted or leave the company, you likely will not get promoted unless your department has multiple managers at the same level. Benefits are through Cigna, so it's easier to pay upfront unfortunately and then submit it to get reimbursed.

Pros

The managers were excellent, and the weekly Lunch & Learn sessions provided valuable opportunities to hear directly from leadership. It was a great environment for networking, and everyone was incredibly welcoming and inviting.

Cons

The internship compensation was limited, but the experience and learning opportunities made it worthwhile, and many would have gladly taken part even without pay.
