Pros

Absolutely love the job itself and study teams. CRA Bridge Program is excellent.

Cons

All things HR, Payroll, Benefits, and IT related. Company was late paying several employees in my department - including myself - with no explanation. Unorganized benefits department and taking extended leave is a nightmare. Lack of responsiveness when emailing anyone other than your direct managers - 4+ months with no resolution to issues. IT has 8+ hour wait times with minimal responsiveness.

Pros

Great benefits including PTO, health care and other benefits.

Cons

Very much a brother-in-law feel when it comes to promotions and praise. If you aren't in the cool club, you will be shunned and left out. Management also makes business decisions without understanding the niche part of the various industries.
