Pros
-Well developed training program (though not everyone has access to this when they start) -Above average benefits package (health, medical, dental, many care days, vacation plan, stock options) -Opportunity to make money if you are willing to stick around for a minimum of 2-3 years. If you do make it beyond then, you can make decent money. Until you pass that threshold, prepare to live below the poverty line in Toronto.
Cons
-No work life balance. Management does not encourage work/life balance. The team is encouraged to guilt others when they do take time off. -"Frat boy" corporate culture. Very much a "boys club." Lots of partying, competition, drama, and politics as a regular part of the culture. This is encouraged from the top down. -Some managers are better than others. They have their strengths - there is not a single manager in Toronto Head Office that is equally balanced as a business and people manager. -High-stress culture. Prepare to sacrifice your mental/physical health for the exhausting demands of the job - or supplement with extensive partying and drugs (which is why there is so much of it amongst the team). -Lots of favoritism from management. Account Managers are viewed as the highest class - and if you're not an Account Manager, you're treated as less than. -Very KPI-driven environment. This can be positive for some, negative for others - just know what you're getting into. -Incredibly high turnover due to the above reasons. "Revolving door" is a term commonly used at Randstad.
