Pros
- Personally my manager is very flexible, can't say the same thing about the company. In fact they themselves have openly expressed to the team dismay to all these policy changes. - Vacation time is fair although the new policy arisen amidst covid is quite heavy handed
Cons
The cons are becoming endless. - Heavy handed vacation policy allows no carryover that will not be paid out?? Isn't that illegal? Quoted from vacation policy "Vacation leave is expected to be taken within the calendar year in which it is earned. As such, vacation leave entitlement cannot be carried over from one calendar year to the next. Accrued but untaken vacation will be forfeited at the end of the calendar year and is not eligible to be paid out." - Their handling of the Covid 19 crisis was dishonest, opportunistic and downright despicable. I've never seen so many negative policy changes to employee benefits, pay and hours of work in such a short time in my entire life. How an employer handles a crisis in the treatment of their employees should tell you how it is to work for them and should speak to their integrity - The new HR function is laughable (Although I don't blame them because they are likely being directed by the scumminess of the C-Suite) - They have borderline breached many employees contracts by moving to a 40 hr work week, when they signed on for a 35 hr work week at x salary... fortunately for them, the contracts were sneakily worded so they could easily make a change such as this. Again, completely despicable in a time of crisis. - RRSP matching was removed during Covid crisis... personally I'd rather they just pay out the extra amount in salary since the Sunlife plan is absolutely terrible and really provides no gains whatsoever compared to the open market. - Benefits are terrible - The company has become far too politicized (like everything else). Maybe there is a reason why no one has volunteered for the "inclusion committee" because they know from company actions from past and recently that they are completely disingenuous and any "inclusion committee" will amount to no good. Actions, not meaningless words speak for the integrity of the company.
