Pros
Only "pro" is learning some new skills, but that's only because I had to pick up the responsibilities and workloads of others after they quit. And don't expect to be compensated for it either.
Cons
They will take everything they can from you and more and that's just expected of you. Every day is like treading water. You put out the fires you can and try to stay sane but nothing works. Fortis doesn't care about you. Benefits and vacation are terrible. You only get the federal holidays off and a few more days. They make you feel guilty for taking any vacation or if you have to leave for an emergency. Heard that the medical benefits were better a couple years ago, but now it's more expensive with less coverage. They will hire you for the lowest amount possible. If you're incredibly lucky you MAY get a raise at your annual review, but don't expect it even if you're exceeding their expectations. It's frustrating to hear execs talk about their fancy houses, trips and cars when they won't pay employees a decent wage. If you look at some of the other reviews, nearly half of the 5-star are within a week of each other. Four of those are from the same day. Wouldn't be surprised if they asked some of the favorites to leave good reviews. The review from February 26, 2022 is by "EVP, Marketing". He's one of the founders of Fortis. If you aren't well-liked for any reason, your job will be 10x harder and they won't listen to anything you say. Some of the things I saw or heard were incredibly questionable, but they're "better than before". Yikes. Look at the other 1-star reviews because they're right. They will say anything to get you through the door. Don't trust them. Anywhere is better than here.
