Business Outlook
Pros
Huge, globally recognized company. Generous, performance-based pay package, company vehicle, computer, cell phone, etc. Freedom to work as if it was your own business, within parameters.
Cons
Huge, globally recognized company - minimal market penetration in Canada. Leadership, especially in Eastern Canada, has eroded in recent years - far too much micro-managing, by far too many people. Corporate training teaches us NOT to "manage by fear", but this is the current trend, sadly, and it seems to be becoming more prevalent. It seems that certain people only want sheep, and "yes men", instead of independent thinkers - cross one of these people, and your career path is certain to take an abrupt change of direction.
