Pros

Excellent medical, dental, and vision benefits. Wonderful co-workers, but everything else about the work environment was very hit and miss.

Cons

Arbitrary and non-sensical limits on intradepartmental hiring: you cannot get a promotion within your department before working there for at least nine months, regardless of competency. Hiring someone from outside the company and training them from scratch is perfectly in order, however. Training resources were abysmal, probably due to drastic cost-cutting on key customer-facing departments such as technical support. That department also suffered from arbitary and irrelevant performance metrics.

Pros

Variety of telecom products to learn about. Right by TTC subway and GO trains, so great for the public transit commuter.

Cons

Cheap company. Poor compensation structure. Management doesn't care about staff, and morale is poor. Weak employee training program. Don't expect to be challenged - senior leadership has been around too long and won't change their way of doing business. There are also annual job cuts in November so they avoid paying a bonus to downsized staff.

Pros

You can move up quickly.

Cons

You will quickly find your self at the top of your pay grade resulting in 0% razes no matter what your review score are. Long work weeks based on understaffing. Expect purges of the Top and Bottom employees for Q4 results.
