Pros

Your co-workers, easy commute, decent salary for the position.

Cons

Lack of internal opportunities. - Preference to hire outsiders, even after they tell you all the options available and how to grow, it won't happen. Currently, the Toronto office's environment is terrible and metrics are going down. Instead of lifting the morale, management is nick-picking on dress code or visiting your co-worker desk. What really happen is that people are not seeing the things that were promised, and of course they will care less to do well. It started as a small little family, but now its all numbers, micromanagement, internal fights, everything is data relate despite being told not to worry about it at first. Be prepared to be stressed, to be yelled at by customers and still expect to remember the 1000 things you have to say in a call after 7 hours, keep your metrics up, don't have human interactions with other teams because you get distracted and try to get liked, otherwise they will hunt you like a dog to find any mistakes you made. At this point, I think a lot of people are just collecting a paycheck and whatever perks existed, are not even worth it much. Keep the money flowing until the next opportunity comes around.

Pros

free parties, discounts on your hotel's booking, friendly colleagues and positive vibes

Cons

No career path. If you want to move forward you do not need to work hard, get good performance or have skills or qualities but you need to be political and get closer to the winners.

Pros

It pays the bills of a single person with no kids.

Cons

The work load and the stress endured do not reflect the wages. The opportunities to progress are impossible.

Hiya thanks for your feedback although I'm clearly disappointed by what you have to say. I can respond by pointing out that more than 250 people were promoted internally in 2017 and that we know our wages are competitive for similar work but we do always keep things like this under review (infact we had a meeting re this topic in Sunlighthouse just last week) However, what makes me really sad is that you seem unhappy and frustrated but have been with us for more than 3 years. That must be really tough and is not how we want anyone to feel. I appreciate that you may not want to do this but could I would really recommend that you speak to a member of the People Team or contact me directly. Thanks again for your feedback, despite what you say it really does matter Ryan
