Pros

The pay is okay and the benefits are decent The US Parent seems to be a well run operation Great potential if they could just get things under control

Cons

The management of the Canadian operation is very bad. The quality of staff at the top is lacking in experience in their roles and as a result the rank and file (many of whom are good employee's) suffer with having to deal with bad decisions and a continually moving target. Turnover in staff is huge.

Pros

Good work life balance. Good pay.

Cons

Very close-knit environment. Very little support, training or growth opportunities. Very slow to hire, very quick to fire. Atrocious HR support for anything. Management not aligned with the multiple brands under BAP, very poor marketing of the brands or the unit.
