Asked current employees because I left this place (Pension Admin - Toronto) in 2019 and the cons below are still true there, how pathetic:
1. Workload - You will end up working more than 8 hours every day because Management never thinks you're doing enough (which comes from a jealous, vindictive place in them) and assign you more work whenever they get the chance, thus no work/life balance
2. Management - Extremely fake, manipulative and selfish people. Do not trust ANY of them. They do not care about getting to know you as a human being, your mental health or your career goals - they lie and say they do but end up making you feel guilty for thinking of yourself and talk behind your back all the time. They even used the term 'layoffs' as a threat DURING Covid to an employee for making a one time mistake. All they care about is numbers and looking good - they just use you to make it to their own retirement at your expense
3. Training - Too fast, next to no actual good notes/documentation for you to refer to and after a month expect you to not make any mistakes and if you do, good luck. They will copy the whole department in an email if they have to and make your honest mistakes sound like the end of the world
4. Salary - A joke for the amount of work the analysts ("doers") put in. I know student interships that pay the same or even more without all the drama and stress these people and the workload cause you
5. The Pension Admin department in Toronto is like that whiny annoying ex that thinks it's all about them but once you leave, you get your life and mental health back
6. Culture - I guess bonding over how much this department stresses you out?
