Pros

-Benefits, like 4.2 weeks of vacation, 5% 401K match, 2 weeks Sick Leave, etc. -Colleagues willing to collaborate -Challenging work -Great eLearning platform that employees are expected to take advantage of. -Pay based on performance, which is awarded in the form of a bonus, starting at 4% of base salary up to 25%.

Cons

-Everything submitted requires 2 levels of approval, such as training, expenses, project deliverables, process changes, etc., resulting in additional overhead requirements. -Systems & technologies are challenging to understand and work with -No base salary increases for the past 2 years -Healthcare insurance is expensive, roughly $9-13K annually for premiums with very high out-of-pockets before insurance starts paying expenses 100%. In 2018, the only health coverage offered will be a high deductable plan. -Limited outside training opportunities, such as conferences, classroom instruction, etc. -Limited opportunities for career advancement. Management likes to hire for experience vs. invest & promote employees. -Managers in Canada must be involved in all decision making.
