Pros

Global Canadian company. Market leader for now, head down, work hard, don’t ask for much and you can ride out a few years.

Cons

The only thing that matters is profit. Finance led company, slow and uncompetitive. Can’t keep pace with competition. Leadership has no direction and are wolves in sheeps clothing. Lack of career progression. It’s going downhill fast, avoid it.

Pros

Good pay & good benefits

Cons

Senior HR leadership at corporate level is TERRIBLE! and completely lacks the knowledge of how to run a global HR organization! Company has taken a turn for the worse in last two years. Many unhappy employees leaving the company and have had nothing good to say about what is going on within the HR department. HR is often referred to as a "Circus Act"

Pros

The pay is good with good benefits and work life balance

Cons

The company is lost and in a fog. They have no direction of where they are going. Most of the top leadership have left or been fired in droves. There is a new organizational structure every 2 weeks. There is no advancement, career development or succession planning. The company is is cost cutting mode at all costs. Not a good place to work and will not be for the next 5 years at least.
