Pros

Good dynamic and colleagues. Can purchase shares. Private health insurance. Nice people in general.

Cons

Working from home option is not available for junior CMA. People are overworked and it is not possible to do your job correctly. People keep leaving and no-one is hired to replace. Therefore the work is redistributed to current employees.

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits were decent Had a phenomenal manager when I started- unfortunately after 2022 my manager was changing 1-2 times per year The office was 10/10 before closing due to pandemic

Cons

-Constant Line manager changes - I noticed brand new coffee machines in the office in 2022 (keep in mind the building had new ones installed upon opening in Dec 2018 and the previous ones were only used in 2019 since the office closed due to COVID) - These machines are at least $15,000.00 a piece... that money could have been used more wisely - Ultimately in 2022 I noticed employees dropping like flies (layoffs) which continued up until now - 3 CEO changes since 2022 - that should tell you something - This the type of company they are talking about when they say "Don't kill yourself for a job that can replace you in a week" - They have laid off employees/managers that I thought the world of, while keeping others that I'm sure work hard, but did not leave a lasting impression on me.
