Pros

This is one of the few places that I’ve worked at that has really embraced working remotely.

Cons

I honestly believe I was only hired so that Sonar could get a kickback from the government through (IRAP). They were not interested in my suggestions. Instead I was often blamed for the system going down but the CEO is a cowboy pushing code to production without my knowledge. The tool is full of bugs and not very user friendly but everyone was always most interested in getting v1 to v2 than stopping to fix it and prevent the same issues from happening over and over again. What I thought I was hired for was certainly not what it turned out to be. What’s worse I later learned the salaries on the US side are waaaay higher than on the Canadian side as a result.

Pros

The leadership cares, and they stand behind their company values.

Cons

Being under 50 employees in the US it's been difficult to change health insurance carriers. United Health Care is not a top tier provider like BCB or Cigna.

Pros

- Teammates were good people and easy to work with. - Pay was decent.

Cons

- Too many managers in a short time. Hard to know who you’re even reporting to half the time. - No clear direction for sales. Expectations change constantly. - Ended up doing a lot of admin work instead of actually selling, which made no sense for the role. - Culture didn’t feel supportive. When things weren’t working, there wasn’t much guidance or help. - Felt like there was always something changing internally, which made it hard to do the job properly. - Work environment became stressful and frustrating over time.
