Pros
- Amazing, smart colleagues who are so hard working it's crazy. Sadly, the company runs off the backs of these people who are invested and dedicated to doing a good job.
Cons
- All upper management is based out of Quebec and they have zero understanding of the English Canada market.
- Completely understaffed and under resourced for the work that needs to be done.
- Old, inefficient programs and computers mean things are always breaking and it's difficult to do what you need to do.
- Constant layoffs and restructuring (about once a quarter).
- With all the turnover, there's a lot of confusion and lost knowledge because people who did specific things are gone, which is maddening.
- Horrible offices that are in disrepair and basically crumbling around you.
- Everything is run out of the QC office, with poor communication about decisions and direction.
- No long-term strategy (other than "let's keep making magazines with less people!). Either oblivious or in denial about what is happening to print magazines.
- Company is so so cheap, they don't invest in conferences, holiday parties, team building events, nothing.
- They refuse to invest in capital costs for employees to get work done, forcing employees to bring in their own equipment.
