Pros

None. I wish I could look back and find a pro to working here, but I cannot.

Cons

- Must incorporate to be an administrator - Administrative management team pick their favorites, and if they don't like you or your ideas to improve the company, they will let you go. - Use hiring agency to get their administrative employees - and then fire them before their 6 months money-back guarantee is up. This results in a refund from the hiring agency. Why said hiring agency hasn't figured this out by now is beyond me. - Extremely high turnover rate among administrative staff. - Low morale among administrators who feel demoralized and let down 99% of the time. - No benefits/vacation time/sick time While the hourly wage may be high, please note you end up getting less money due to income tax and incorporation fees.

Not impressed.

Pros

- Good hourly rate - Great coffee machines, kitchen area, lots of fun social events. - Cheap and/or free parking - lots of friendly people (support staff especially) willing to help out if asked. - Nice location for anybody living in SE or SW

Cons

- Notice for layoffs measured in hours, not weeks. - Staff unofficially replaced while on vacation, returning angry, causing disruptions that hurt everyone. - Secret but obvious political infighting between managers leading to hopeless policy contradictions. Was never truly sure of who we worked for or held ultimate authority. - Projects announced pre-maturely, same projects lost week(s) latter after you turn down that new job offer, 50%+ layoffs minutes after that and a 2/3 empty office the next day to come back to. - Most people that leave seem to be leaving angry over one thing or another.

Pros

The company had no pros

Cons

The company is a giant ball of conflict of interest. If you don’t fit with their clique you get pushed out. Awful place to work, not true to their word.
