Pros

Offers a good defined benefit pension plan and excellent health and dental benefits. Matching RRSP contributions up to a certain percentage of your pay.

Cons

Very high sales pressure from management to achieve unrealistic and always increasing sales targets. Its like being a used car salesman. The company talks about customers and employees being important, but in reality, only sales count. Unless you are consistently exceeding sales targets, your job will be threatened and you will be put under constant stress, anxiety, ,mental harassment and psychological pressure that is toxic to your health. Lots of unpaid overtime is required. You will have to do the work of two people. They will squeeze you for all you are worth.

Pros

The NY location is close to Grand Central Station

Cons

Slow Canadian culture that finds it challenging to meet US regulatory standards. Executives play favorites and gaslight employees, if you voice your opinion, they either silence you or try to manage you out with exaggerated "performance issues"
