Pros

Great benefits, discounts on financial services, paid sick leave, maternity top, employee share purchase plan, short term disability coverage, paid training

Cons

Stressful target based job with goals often set so high that frequently no one makes quota. Instead of celebrating success, a huge focus is placed on failure. It is a very discouraging environment to work in. Often do not feel I have the tools I need to meet client expectations.

Pros

The NY location is close to Grand Central Station

Cons

Slow Canadian culture that finds it challenging to meet US regulatory standards. Executives play favorites and gaslight employees, if you voice your opinion, they either silence you or try to manage you out with exaggerated "performance issues"
