Pros
Great environment in an eco-friendly building Socialization A lot of opportunities to learn or grow. ie Toastmasters, MERGE and ACE meetings, etc. Full cafe open for employees Free parking structure for employees
Cons
Inconsistency from management. ie how long/what is required to advance, standard policy & procedures, dress code Not much reward when exceeding metrics. No commission, (often) no recognition from management, etc. Opportunities for growth is really pushed during onboarding and training but there aren't as many as they make it seem. Most of the higher positions are already filled and are usually replaced by externals Metrics don't always accurately reflect how much work you got done but always affects your job stability Hired on as full-time indefinite contract and difficult to be made staff Contractor benefits are available but grossly expensive Very "clique-y" Training misses a lot of important tips and tools that you end up learning from co-workers if you're lucky
