Pros

I have nothing good to say about this company.

Cons

I wish I could leave a negative star review...that's how bad it was to work there. Firstly, you can throw out the idea of any sort of work/life balance here. You're basically expected to work 60+ hour weeks without compensation. I've had coworkers who had to take their laptop and work during their vacation abroad and work in the middle of the night to sync with North America hours. Also, don't expect to receive any sort of compensation or recognition. If you want to be ambitious and get promoted, they'll give you a laundry list of things you need to do to get ahead and then you go above and beyond and deliver on all those things, they will just take all the benefits of your work but not give you the recognition or promotion. If you're in a satellite office, don't expect to get any sort of promotion or recognition. Only team members in the same office as upper management will get recognition for not doing a single thing. Forget about personal growth too. I wanted to take a course to try and make myself and my team better but it felt like coming up against a brick wall as upper management are penny pinchers and will question you to death how it will help the team even though it is SO apparent how the team will benefit. Don't get sucked into the lure of a big corporation, you're better off developing your career elsewhere. I wasted 3 years of my life here.

Pros

One of the best parts of my job was the people I worked with. My office had a lot of younger people who were very nice. The company has a good amount of vacation. 15 vacation days, 5 sick days, and around 11 holidays. This is a good company to get your first job.

Cons

During the winter it can get very busy and you put in a lot of hours. Since these jobs are salary you won't get overtime. My biggest problem was when I hit my one year anniversary I didn't receive a raise. For the type of clients I worked on and the quality of my work I was very disappointed which was one of the main reasons I decided to pursue other options. Also the structure of their reviews are a joke. It is virtually impossible to get 5 stars on any categories and 1st years cannot get over a 2.5, it doesn't make much sense and managers will admit that as well. I would advise people to go into Client Service since I feel there is more room for growth there.
