Pros

Discounts on products; inside coffee house; plasma TV to watch games during World Cup, clean/fashionable work environment, great open space.... LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION!!! Right in the middle of StCatherine and University, it is probably the best location in my humble opinion for a company to have. On top of the Eaton Center, and within walking distance of all amenities, I could not ask for more. During the summer, it is very nice as you can get out of the office and go for a nice leisurely stroll downtown and still be back for work in the afternoon. Very nice view from the office as well.

Cons

Long hours for full time employees, especially in Marketing. I see people working very late into the evening, even weekends, with no overtime whatsoever. Lots of people get stressed out when International people come for visits. The cafeteria charged high prices for some of the food items. Lots of gossiping inter-departmental which I did not like much. Promotions did not always seem to be based on performance as office politics do play a part in the whole ordeal. Lots of turnovers in the company as those who have worked 2 or 3 years can now get better jobs with higher pay.

Pros

Management is very flexible and respective of personal committments. I find that the work experience is satisfactory and a certain level balance is present. No one carries more of a load than others. I do enjoy numerous perks such as affiliations with other companies like Apple, NYSC, Verizon and so forth. The perks extend to the products themselves, I find that I am able to stock up on great products for the entire family without spending a dime most instances. From a Finacial persepective, I am looking forward to the consolidation of Accounting and Finance in the new building next year. This should encourage more interaction between these two important job functions.

Cons

Very partioned work flow, I find I need to deal with numerous departments and people to accomplish one simple goal. I would prefer information a bit more linear and accessible without going thru so many channels.

Work is challenging and interesting. People are overall pretty intelligent and hard working. There are lots of opportunities for movement within the company.

Cons

Work/life balance and politics are the biggest issues.
