Pros

-Colleagues are generally a great set of people, willing to engage and be friendly

Cons

-Same colleagues can also act like they're in high school MANAGEMENT -Management is a huge problem, from managers sitting there on facebook/having loud conversations with employees while others are on calls/working to simply throwing you under the bus when it comes to taking criticisms (ex. one of their employees needs to be trained on something, but they take it as a personal attack, clients don't get great service and analyst keeps making the same mistake). -spend a lot of time micromanaging analysts that do better than most, instead of managing those that aren't pulling their weight -Worse thing about management is that they make promises but never do anything. Currently part time, however instead of hiring me as fulltime, they've decided to hire several new analysts through contracts (and they've hired several previously while I was partime) when it makes more sense to increase the hours given to someone who has already worked the job and as per reviews one of the top people there -They promised another analyst that if he worked lateshift it would work to his benefit to get fulltime with Scotiabank, instead after a getting an extension on his contract he was forced to find another position because they wouldn't hire him fulltime. - Management takes credit for all these statistical improvements, when really it simply a matter of hiring more employees(half of them are not even the right ones) because they were extremely understaffed before (department went from 20 employees to 41 at last count)
