Awful Place to Work

Pros

Benefits were very good. Pay rate was decent.

Cons

I don't normally have any issues with employers. However, working at this employer was almost like a Dr. Jekyll/Mr Hyde situation. Throughout the interview process, this employer seemed like a dream-employer. It was almost like the new Google or the new Facebook. However, once you started there, they were not very welcoming of new employees. There was absolutely no orientation, no training, and no building mechanisms. New employees were left to their own defenses. The HR team was disengaged, uninvolved, and overall rude. The production team had unqualified managers. There were favorites who got away with things while others were held to more strict standards. Temporary workers were promised the world and then dismissed one or two days before their 90 day term for any small imperfection.

Pros

Work-life balance is what you make of it. A small core of very committed people try their best to make it a good place to work. The business has great potential in the market.

Cons

This is a monarchy. The king issues his decrees from a far-off castle in Montreal and the lords, ladies and peasants must obey. If you can't, it's off with your head. Instead of listing all the problems, I will simply say, people here either escape as soon as they find another opportunity or have been here so long that they just keep their heads down and dream of their not-too-distant retirement--that or they are still hoping that a white knight will someday come and free them.
