Pros
Friendly atmosphere Open-door policy with managers Everyone has "teamwork" attitude - Love who I work with Constantly new exciting business projects Aurora location is the leading provider of campaign marketing kits in Canada Receive business from the largest retailers and restaurants in North America Gain valuable experience that looks great on a resume OK Benefits: 50% coverage of Health and Dental costs by default. "Flex credits" are given based on salary and age which you can "cash in" on your pay check (approx. 0.5% of overall earnings) or assign for more coverage (i.e. enhanced Dental is 90%) Healthcare Spending Account: TC covers 50% of expenses (gym, yoga, etc), up to 75 dollars a year.
Cons
People don't work at TC because of the compensation... Pay: Low retention rate because company does not provide incentive bonuses or raises. From my experience, coworkers are often stuck in the same salary for multiple years. Company gives 2% inflation when performance is excellent/exceeding expectations and 1% inflation when performance is sufficient/meeting expectations. After discussing career growth with supervisor and taking on more responsibility to justify a raise, I was constantly met with resistance about compensation. When they agreed to raise my salary, they forfeited my inflation the following year... It's simply not enough to support living costs in the GTA... Vacation: 2 weeks vacation from 1-3 years of employment 3 weeks vacation from 3-9 years of employment 4 weeks vacation from 9-15 years of employment 5 weeks vacation from 15+ years of employment RRSP: Company gives very poor contribution. TC contribution is based on a system of points that takes into account the sum of your age and your years of continuous service. <40 points TC provides 25% of your contributions 40-49 points TC provides 50% of your contributions 50-59 points TC provides 75% of your contributions 60-69 points TC provides 100% of your contributions For instance a recent grad (age 22) and 1 year experience equals 23 points... You have to be over 40 years old before TC's contribution starts working to your benefit... Understaffed and overworked: Employees do not feel valued or see progression in their careers. Management will acquire new clients, but not adequately backfill roles (full-time employees leave, contractors are brought in).
