      Pros

      Flexible schedule, family illness and sick time paid, on site cafeteria and Tim Hortons

      Cons

      Much of the management is no longer concerned with fuelling a productive environment but rather covering their own behinds. The entire company is functioning with an 'everyone for themselves' attitude. Upper management has yet to realize that when you foster a family like environment, that the employees will actually care about the company and how it performs. That is the way it was when I joined the company. To watch the decline has been painful.

      Overall - wonderful and rewarding experience, but company culture and employee retention on a steep and critical dive

      Pros

      great industry to work in; attracts the brightest and most talented candidates; wonderful people (those that survive the ongoing layoffs); lots of interesting challenges and experiences - really helps you grow in terms of knowledge and experience; broad exposure to multiple vendors/suppliers; large player with a lot of recognition and credibility; very diverse products and services; competitive salaries; used to be a wonderful place to work with a sense of family - this is non-existent today

      Cons

      You never know when your time is up (especially if you've been there for > 10 yrs); always focused on cost-cutting; management-heavy; little if not zero focus on employee morale/development; lack of equality in terms of cross-departmental practices (e.g. organizational structure/ratio of staff/management); used to be very family-oriented and socially responsible - now it's just a large business with a strict corporate mindset; don't work here if you think you can make a long-term career commitment; highly dependent on government grants and slaves to ridiculous Quebec OLF policies - after all, this is an international company!; lots of turn-over at all levels; change for the sake of change - no real purpose or plan; etc.
