Travelers Reviews

Pros

nice manager to work for, team is positive

Cons

salary is competitive but not outstanding , vacations are not generous

Pros

The company as a whole is not bad. Good colleagues, good vacation, benefits, casual dress, coffee machines, celebrations etc.

Cons

The Oakville billing department is very poorly managed. Poor communication with management. Way too much work, not enough staff. Unrealistic expectations. High employee turnover. Bad pay. No room for growth in this department. Management does not care about your personal growth within the company. Management has favorites. You will not be treated as an equal, you will feel patronized. You will feel foolish for bringing up an idea. The culture is very awkward between employees and management, everyone is afraid to speak up. A very cold atmosphere, constant negative energy from management. Had to leave due to stress and burnout. A job in this department is not worth your mental health. AVOID!

Pros

Very little these days....work from home, benefits are good.

Cons

They tell you how great it is but it’s all talk...Bullying does happen by upper management in a certain large group....micro management, managers can’t make decisions on their own. Some management won’t let staff work from home even though they can.

Pros

- good pay and benefits/pension - seem to have good momentum for positive change - new IT leadership additions are paving the way for badly needed direction - company seems committed to change - flexible work arrangements

Cons

- decision making is very slow and is by committee - business direction on projects constantly change - hopefully new leadership will drive change

Pros

Decent pay and benefits. Pension matching program. 4 weeks paid time off to start (vacation/sick days combined). Some supervisors are good, some colleagues are amazing. Upper management means well, and seems to genuinely care about employee engagement.

Cons

Canada has to do whatever the US does. every year is a new round of consultants telling us what to do (without listening to the employees at all). Most employees are discouraged/stressed out and on the verge of burnout. Employee turnover is high. Office Politics seem to be what's running middle management; can we get some supervisors who actually care about staff and have some common sense?

Pros

Good dedicated employees who continually try to do their best despite trying circumstances. They pay well because it's the only way they can keep or attract people despite the reputation they have

Cons

No work/life balance, worked 6 days a week on salary. Sr Leaders didn't listen to front line employees, they pretend to listen but continue to do more of the same. CEO seems to have good intentions but I don't know if she is truly hearing what's happening on the front lines. Many employees - most managers are actively looking for work elsewhere and are completely disengaged. There are some Sr leaders (executives) that seem to survive no matter how disengaged their staff are and how unprofessionally they treat people.

Pros

No work outside of work hours because projects don’t actually move forward.

Cons

- No strategy in place - Incredibly top down management - CEO has to approve everything and has trouble making decisions - Terrible culture and morale (everyone there wants out and actively talks about job search) - Worst Leadership I have ever experienced in my career - No development, no tangible skill learning
