Pros

Depending on the job and who you know, there may be opportunities for you to advance. I found their benefits package and employee supports to be excellent. It was a great experience from a 'your first job' perspective. The facilities were great in terms of what they offered on site. You could even get your banking done when you had time. As a disabled employee, I was well-accomodated and had plenty of support.

Cons

I spent more time commuting than working and felt that my ideas were not always heard. Sometimes I didn't feel part of the team because my job consisted of completing one task. This now leaves me less marketable than I was when I started with them, despite taking advantage of opportunities for those of us who were displaced. A lot of times I had to get security to escort me to lunch and back again because the lift didn't work. This usually meant I would be late and would affect my availability statistics. I also felt that diversity hiring was almost non-existent since when I tried to get another position, my skills didn't really match at all. I went through three different managers during my time there, neither one was willing to help me advance, except when it almost came time for layoffs.

Advice to Senior Management

Make your disabled employees feel valued and respect them. You have great potential capitalizing on some of us with great skills. Sadly, this also means that we have to work twice as hard as someone who is not disabled. Make diversity training required for all managers and ensure that they are trained on how to deal with accomodation issues and since every case is different, listen to the individual since they usually know what works best for them.
