False Advertisement Sprinkled with Empty Promises
Pros
Some pros to working at FirstService Residential is that you can meet a lot of knowledgeable people, learn a lot about the business and overall, just gaining experience about the industry.
Cons
Unfortunately, there have been a lot of empty promises of development plans, pay increases and growth opportunities. Every internal growth opportunity that is presented gets turned down and replaced with an external candidate which is disappointing and discouraging. Pay increases that were promised upon signing the offer letter are often dismissed quickly and not looked into. Baiting those looking for a career to grow in with the empty promise of internal growth is wrong. Preaching about promotions yet not being able to say how many people have been promoted from within your regional office team is embarrassing. Dangling pay increases and bonuses in front of your most dedicated employees just for them to not even receive it after their end of the bargain has been fulfilled is hurtful. Retention in employees is not emphasized in the workplace which leads to low morale and a discouraged team.
