      Pros

      The culture and environment within the department team were amazing. The manager was phenomenal and spent great effort in cultivating a working environment where you were excited to come to work. Focused on sustainability and allowed team members to take more responsibility and grow. Last but not least SNOWBOARDING or skiing(up to you). Great job if you are passionate about the outdoors and sustainability.

      Cons

      The pay and corporate management, the pay was much too low barely liveable in a resort town. There were several occasions where situations could have been handled better by corporate. Another con is verbal abuse from customers. I'd also add that the overall team was amazing but it was not uncommon to find those who did not meet the standard, however, the pay is not livable enough for many people.

                  Project Coordinator

                  I recently applied for a “Project Support Officer” this from the job description it’s pretty much a Project Coordinator/ Manager position. And I have been asked to create a poster to promote an event for young people that have long term health conditions. Now my question is why is the job advertised exactly like a Project Coordinator position, but Im asked to design a poster?! How can that reflect my experience within the project environment? It makes 0 sense to me.

                  Development Engineer

                  Had a peculiar 3-month interview with a scientific organization. Initial online presentation, followed by an unexpected in-person interview, still evaluated by the committee. Salary undisclosed; only relocation package mentioned. The team was satisfied, awaiting HR director approval, requesting references. 2-3 days later, before sending references, informed they chose another candidate. No response to emails; HR silent. Was I backdoor checked?

                  RFP Coordinator

                  I have a 5 year gap in my work history due to an illness. How do I explain this? I can't lie, SSD is on my background check as a previous employer. I am on it and looking to re-enter the job market and get off of it, but I understand it is a reason for employers to pause in hiring me.
