Pros

Big corporate company which has steady customers that somewhat secures th longitude of it's existence.

Cons

In Greater Toronto Area, unfortunately, operations runs by a bunch of clowns. Work hard, but poductivity is very low due to personnel are focusing on his or her own scope of work with a very low intention of working as a team. Worst yet, Director is so blatantly corrupt by giving the contractors business that excessively over price and granting number of $$ without reserved. Human Resources is the weakest link. The top person is just being there to milking the gravy and wait for retirement. CEO is too young and inexperience. People in and out the company like a rolling door!

Pros

Reasonable pay, good benefits, good work/home ratio. Loved the job except for the growing paperwork and reports which served no purpose other than to micro manage.

Cons

Highly unqualified managers put into place because they played the political game. Large gap in women/men pay scale. Men got away with bar like behavior and if women didn't play the game they got blackballed. I'd probably still be there if it weren't for a couple of managers who weren't fit to manage a McDonald's

Great Benefits

Pros

This company offers excellent benefits. I am a fan of HSA accounts and enjoyed the employer contribution. The 401K match is the best I have seen. The hours were good and there was flexibility if needed for doctor appointments, etc. Company valued its employees.

Cons

The office in which I worked was incredibly small. The CSRs were practically on top of each other. There were also some very strong personalities in that office which made the small space very uncomfortable at times.
