Pros

'Some' of the people you work with are nice, the wages are OK and some of the benefits are good. The SIMs are great for customers and some of the sites are nice.

Cons

Management team are like headless chickens, the company is operating in an 'old school' mentality. Driven mostly by a HQ in Montreal who are out of touch. They are not keen to embrace change, align and invest where they need to. They are talking about record profits and then quietly making people redundant. When it comes to diversity this is something that they pay lip service to, however 4 of the people made redundant were female, and/or single mothers. Terribly disorganised, inconsistent messages and disingenuous.

Pros

*Depending on the division you work for, the leadership can be very supportive. *The insurance benefits are very good. *I believe the product is pretty good. (Needs some improvement). *Salary seems in line with national averages.

Cons

*Gravely lacking in communication and processes. *Not enough middle-mgmt. and direction in some divisions. *Co. takes on too many projects; encourages getting things done over quality. *Project Management is evasive and passive-aggressive. *Too many employees are wearing many hats; causing things to fall through the cracks, lack of support & quality, etc. with no end in sight.
