Pros
The workforce at OLG has great and capable people. Family culture because of the longer term staff supporting newer staff, and despite puppet execs that follow the mindless CEO and CIO. Good benefits if you can last long enough.
Cons
CxO Execs typically have less than 3 years in their existing role (they get switched a lot), and charge in directions as if they know the business, which the results, engagement scores, exodus of good talent, and culture on the floor, clearly indicate they are just cheque-collecting. Regular Pay Freezes and Hiring Freezes, but Execs pull in 300-600K+ no problem. Raises have nothing to do with competence and management has no control over what they give, and can't even guarantee you'll get a raise. Broadstroke common raise, which is only a "maybe" if the board and government allow it. CIO is all talk, cutting every VP and Director that has experience and substance to lead. Encourages openness then crushes differing views LOL. Culture has done a 180 turn to fear and silence in the 10 months she's been there. Congrats! Seemingly annual Org changes or anytime a new CXO is put in place (which is constant) means exec Leadership is learning and guessing while they chop - jobs are always on the edge of not being there the next year. This used to be a great place to work, with hard work to do, but great people. Now, it's just rotten. Tanked to "Stay Away" in merely 3 years.
