      High turnover

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Generally nice co-workers with hardly any overtime hours required. Good benefits and RRSP matching program in Canada. Training is one-on-one with senior staff but there is no program. Office culture is minimal.

      Cons

      High turnover in management making staff uneasy. Once new management is in place, goals change according to the new management. Very confusing for staff and bad for company image. Manual underwriting system and lack of IT.

      Not a company you should work for

      Business outlook

      Pros

      The pay is okay and the benefits are decent The US Parent seems to be a well run operation Great potential if they could just get things under control

      Cons

      The management of the Canadian operation is very bad. The quality of staff at the top is lacking in experience in their roles and as a result the rank and file (many of whom are good employee's) suffer with having to deal with bad decisions and a continually moving target. Turnover in staff is huge.
