Intact reviews

-Stressful environment ( need to work like a robot and justify every minute) -No tangible recognition , the most you can get is a "good job, well done " - Routine - No help from management to escalate the ladder and find another position. -The most you can get i small projects in the same department that doesn't help you with your goal and don't be shocked if management keeps lying to you about helping you with career development. - Do not expect to pursue your career and find a spot in another department. I've had 2 bad experiences where i applied several times for some positions in another department, i was able to pass the interview but the manager there knew somebody from before and offered him that instead. After a personal investigation and a discussion with the guy that got the position, he was just starting university to get a degree that matches that position while i almost finished mine and have other certs. The reason is that he was with the company for over 10 years and was friend with the manager/ department and the whole new team while i had just 4 years with them with no internal relations.. yup nothing fair in here... so this happened twice as i said and i was like no i'm not wasting anymore time here. I have a bachelor in IT and just finished another one in another field, with a bunch of other certificates.

The pay is abysmal. It's on the low end of the industry standard, even though they write more business than the industry standard. Business that is currently serviced by overworked and underpaid employees. They expect a lot for very little. They also are pushing for people to return to the office, but they aren't listening to our feedback about how much we're suffering under the cost of living crisis. The true reason a lot of us don't want to come back to the office is because we simply can't afford to travel so much. They don't ask or care how many of us are working second jobs just to make ends meet, they just keep going on about productivity. Maybe I would be more productive if my buying power hadn't diminished by about 35% over the last year (while my rent has increased 40% in that same time) Maybe I'd be more productive if my salary from Intact alone actually paid enough for me to live in an apartment AND eat - but it doesn't. Maybe I would be more productive if I weren't one of 47% of households in my province that can't afford housing anymore. My salary has sent me to the food bank this year.
