Pros

1. Office is close to many subway lines (good as long as you don't get shot at, attacked with a hammer, or pushed in front of a subway during your commute) 2. If you are a child/relative of a former professional hockey player or other professional sports player, you will have many perks. 3. If your father is friends with an ABG exec (like the CEO or CFO etc) you will have many perks also.

Cons

Foul-mouthed executives, excessive nepotism, negative energy, toxic culture, HR is not your friend (hope you don't learn this the hard way).

Pros

Diverse brand portfolio Working with cross functional teams Summer fridays early dismissal Free unhealthy snacks

Cons

Favoritism DO exist here - that’s the truth all other reviews here that says the opposite is NOT true If you are Canadian and related to the owner then you’ll have a VP title in no time Career growth only exists depending on you work with Companies give title change (from Director to Senior Director to VP in less than a year) to those who they favor. Those titles are earned in many years by many in the industry. Pay is low unless you are related to the owner of course (you’ll be a VP at the age of 25 if the management favors you!)

Pros

None. Everyone except for the CEO's family is underpaid, overworked, and treated like livestock.

Cons

- They're making us come into the office 5x/week during a pandemic, for no reason other than the CEO is bored at home. - No protective measures are in place. They are not paying for transportation to/from the office, and all employees are doing this on cut salaries. - Women should not work here. Under appreciated, under paid, overworked, and objectified in my experience. - nepotism is the best way to get promoted - even Sr managers and VP's are afraid of the wrath of the CEO. No one stands up to him because he purposefully instills fear of job stability. - "HR" at this company is non-existent, and when it shows up, its to carry out the bidding of the CEO. "HR" knows that employees are depressed and scared, and being put in physical harm's way, and still, "HR" stands by and enables it. - some one needs to expose this place for hostile/unethical workplace that it is.
