Pros

I am struggling to think of any genuine positives right now.

Cons

The company used to be a great place to work, but things have changed. Several managers with very limited Canadian industry experience were hired, and their leadership approach has negatively affected the work environment and overall culture.

Ouch. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. I am sorry to hear that your recent experience has not matched the culture we work hard to build at Ross. Strong and supportive leadership is important to us, and I take concerns about management seriously. I am also sorry that your experience in your team has left you feeling this negatively about the company, our business outlook, and my leadership. We hire people for their skills, experience, and values, and we expect every leader to help create a respectful and collaborative workplace. If that has not been your experience, I would appreciate the chance to understand more. Please feel free to reach out to me directly and confidentially. Thank you again for your feedback. - David Ross

Stable, well-run organization Truly values its employees You will find talented people that you will enjoy working with Vacation and PTO policies are beyond most of the employers You will not get exhusted working at Ross video CEO is always promoting the use of cutting edge technology in the products despite the cost

Cons

Some legacy processes still being modernized Learning curve can be steep for new hires due to product depth Hard to leave once you’ve worked here

Thanks for the 5 star review! You made me laugh with one of the Cons being "Hard to leave once you've worked here" - nice Easter Egg in the review! :-) On the stock side, I would like to highlight that we're an ESOP company (Employee Stock Ownership Program) and every year employees can buy and sell Ross stock. The stock price is tied to financial performance and since we started the ESOP in 2009 the stock price is up 10x. I know the request is for stock grants - my position has been to pay people well and let them invest in Ross stock if they want, or anything else otherwise. Note that we are still a private company so stock is less liquid than in a public company so we need to be careful to ensure owning Ross stock is a good experience, but often a longer term experience. I hope that makes sense! Come see me if you want to discuss this further. - David Ross

Pros

Great environment, room for growth, acceptance, amazing managerial support, benefits, a work/life balance, and so much respect among all colleagues and even the CEO. Yes, David Ross IS as nice as he seems all the time and makes himself available and genuinely wants to answer any concerns we have. He constantly wants to know if we are happy and he is very transparent about any business information. Overall, always a good vibe and everyone is always willing to work together no matter the department,

Cons

Could have more easily accessible ways to obtain further knowledge, train within and grow your career.
