Reviews about "free beer"
Return to all Reviews- Former Employee★★★★★
Great company to work for
Dec. 4, 2020 - Project Manager in Halifax, NSRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Free beer was given to all employees
Cons
Not a wine company - that would have been good
- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Great place to start your career, but not long term
Feb. 5, 2021 - Planning ManagerRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
1. Lots of opportunities for developing leadership skills and work experience. 2. Hard work doesn't go unnoticed. 3. The People you work with are smart, driven and ambitious 4. Free beer and the downtown office has a Pub; health Benefits are pretty decent but you have to pay for them
Cons
1. Aggressive, sink/swim culture. Huge push on perfectionism 2. Not very competitive salary- Your salary's big portion is bonus, which gets paid out once in 4 years so negotiate a higher base. 3. They operate very lean and the turnover is high, felt like a revolving door 4. Poor work life balance, you are expected to take on more work without any additional pay. Big push on acquisitions so this piles up every year 5. Very focused on outsourcing to India and you have to constantly deal with very sub-par talent over there. 6. If you were not a part of the "`Development Program" you career growth will be very stunted. The Development program folks get precedence over everyone...its not as mertiocracy based environment they claim it to be.

Terrible place to work especially if you're a visible minority
Apr. 9, 2021 - Commercial Manager in Toronto, ONRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Free beer, pub for the employees
Cons
Extremely poor DE&I, demographic is largely white male. The board of execs, president and VP's are all white male. If you're a POC you're expected to single handedly fix their DE&I issues and take it on as a second job. Expect racial slurs to be thrown at you, example South Asian and Arab employees would be greeted with 'hey there's my favorite terrorist'. Extremely poor work life balance, expect colleagues and managers to call you at midnight to get work done and you work long hours 12-14 hour days are a norm. Underpaid compared to market average, their reasoning is because they give high bonuses, however no bonuses have been given in 5 years. Men get promoted based on potential, women get promoted based on experience (and rarely get promoted). Aggressive, unprofessional behavior is rewarded. A lot of bias towards pregnant employees and working mothers. A lot of issues around gender bias and racial bias. Poor benefits compared to other companies, especially if you have a chronic health condition. Mental health and dental benefits are quite low and generally mental health is highly stigmatized within the company itself
