Pros

Great people who care about what we are doing. There is a strong history here but also the willingness to break those traditions in order to make a better future for students across the globe. Hard work is seen and rewarded.

Cons

Lots of contract roles for positions that are vital to the business. Located in Scarborough as opposed to downtown Toronto. When the LRT on Eglington goes in, that should relieve the awkward commute.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great products; Good people; in-house cafeteria and courtyard; interesting partnerships and initiatives

Cons

Way too much volume of work spread across less and less people; good people leaving and not being retained; HR does whatever leaders want whether it’s right or not. CEO has great charisma but seems to have created (purposely or not) a dog-eat-dog environment where people are trying to stand out instead of stand together.
