Pros

Working in Mississauga for more than 1 yr, absolutely not a good place, constant monitoring and checking where I go when I’m not on my seat, so shocking when I started and worst micro . Old crap technology, not for a tech savvy like me. Obviously who runs this dept. don’t have managerial background/skills. Also some bosses/logistics in Europe will ask all kind of work need to done. This Dept. having very high turn of employees, you can be out easily, don’t value people. There’s one person that was actually good and gone. Some people I met are good.

Cons

This is just job only, not a career, must be friendly with the boss to keep this job for now, favoritism, some people will hang around in his office and chat, while others have lots of work and others few. I know I can be kick out easily here, saw this to others. So continue networking and keep looking whenever I can, sadly.

Pros

Work–life balance is actually respected. Most managers honor boundaries, don’t expect late-night firefighting as the norm, and are fine with you taking time off when you need it. Solid parental leave. The parental leave policy is extremely generous compared to a lot of places in the industry, and leadership is generally supportive of people actually using it. Interesting, challenging work. Plenty of chances to solve real problems, not just busywork. If you’re proactive, you can own projects and grow your skill set. Good benefits package. Healthcare, 401(k), and time off are competitive, and HR does a decent job of making the options clear. Smart coworkers who care. A lot of sharp people who genuinely want to do the right thing for customers and the business, which makes collaboration worthwhile when it works.

Cons

Communication needs improvement. Priorities and decisions don’t always flow clearly from leadership to the teams doing the work, which leads to confusion and rework. Too many silos. Teams tend to operate in their own lane, and cross-functional collaboration can be painful. Information gets stuck instead of shared.
