Great benefits, terrible management
Feb. 15, 2023 - Marketing And Communications Manager in Toronto, ONRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
The benefits package here is amazing - much better than TPL or the province, thanks to a strong union.
Cons

They refuse to see remote work as a viable option even though office space could be converted to facilities that would better support students, like prayer, pumping and meditation rooms or even study rooms and computer space.
