Pros

Good intro to sales/telemarketing, in the downtown core, 11 min walk from union station

Cons

Working at Navartis as a Recruitment Consultant was a frustrating experience for a few big reasons. The management was unprofessional—constant foul language, misogynistic comments (yes, even from a married man), and belittling made it impossible to learn or grow, especially as a newcomer. The office setup didn’t help either; it’s a small, noisy glass box with music and phone calls all around, making it hard to focus or have proper conversations with clients. On top of that, there’s no real support or tools—just “pick up the phone and call” with no clear direction, which leaves you feeling lost from day one. Almost forgot to mention, you’re required to show up to the office 15 minutes earlier than your start time on your contract to take your morning meeting. the Toronto team is falling apart, down to about four people, and turnover is ridiculously high. It’s pretty obvious they aren’t investing in keeping or helping new hires. Overall, it’s a chaotic and unsupportive environment with no real chance to succeed. This is the fault of poor management and nothing more. The lads in England were all a pleasure to speak with.

Pros

Snacks and downtown location, near transit and the downtown core. But be aware this is a shared space office. Useful to put on resume as experience.

Cons

If you thrive in a work environment where you are frequently criticized by your manager (as there were two separate recruitment teams during my tenure), then this may be the suitable place for you. However, it is important to note that the management there exhibited a lack of direction and exhibited a tyrannical approach. Despite performing above or close to your peers, you will be berated by a manager just for being a new guy. There were constant discussions about expansion and the potential for increased team size and management opportunities. Nevertheless, the high turnover rate was a persistent issue. This is not surprising considering the management’s treatment of employees. Loyalty and hard work are not rewarded, and management will readily replace you with someone else.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, we do use these reviews to help understand where we need to improve and also to see where we are getting things right. Reading your recent review we are sorry to hear that you didn’t have a good experience. We believe that our fees are competitive in the marketplace and the solutions and software we use are some of the leading technology in the recruitment industry. We fully appreciate that it is a tough job, that requires a lot of determination, focus and dedication and due to this, some people that join find that it’s not the right role for them… which is common in recruitment. We wish you luck in whatever you choose to move into. Navartis
