Pros

I worked as an "Intermediate Accountant" at a Senior Living company sourced through Aston Carter. AS exactly knew what I was looking for a career change and found my archived profile to match an opportunity in Vancouver. They were very quick in contacting me, scheduling an interview and placing me with the client. Their payroll system is very advanced and the staff followed up to check if everything was going well throughout my tenure.

Cons

None. They did not give any opportunity for a bad review. Nick and Shay were very professional and courteous to avoid a bad experience.

Pros

The one and only thing I'm sad about when I quit are the people. People are friendly and very helpful - you can go up to anyone anytime to ask for advice when you need help. Even synergy cross teams are great.

Cons

#1 Absolutely no work life balance. Contract says 9am to 6pm but there's a daily stand up meeting at 8.30am. People get shouted at even if they are late for a minute. No breakfast at your desk after 8.30am. I have never left before 6.45pm unless I have work-related meetings after work outside of the office - the longer you stay the "more hardworking" you are. In my opinion if you can't finish what you need to do between 9 to 6 you aren't working smart enough. #2 Everything is rigid. KPIs are fixed - it's the same every week, and for everyone across teams. GM likes to create internal competition which isn't healthy. Lots of admin work. #3 High turnover. After a year and a half I left, only 3 out of 10 people are still in the same team. Probably 1/10 of the people I know are still with the company. #4 Commission isn't really around market rate. Not going into details for this one.
