Pros

Opportunities to try different positions and advance your career (BUT, you have to take ownership of doing it); opportunities to work in different industries; great in-house leadership training course; depending on what team you are on - it can be really awesome or it can be downright awful

Cons

Dynamic of the organization has changed since its inception. It used to be about getting the best of the best and there was a genuine focus on the well-being of the employees. You weren't just a number and the managers, team leads, and People Services (HR) really cared about you and wanted to get to know you on a personal level. However, I feel that the focus on keeping that small company feel has deviated and it no longer has that 'family' feel. When the economy started taking a downturn, they started laying off some really talented people, but kept others that were mediocre. It became a numbers game and no longer about hiring and promoting the best people for the job.

Pros

Company Christmas party Other colleagues are great to work with

Cons

Work/life balance is basically non-existent even though leadership attempts to preach it. They talk about getting free training every quarter, but either you don't have time for it because of your crappy work-life balance, or it never gets approved - even though it is marked as an expense to calculate your bonus. Inconsistent messaging around incentives and how they are figured out. Some support teams are well off in relation to coverage, while others are barely surviving. Management put all the "cookies" into a single individual for a single client and then expect you to do everything and then some. The idea of going to a centralized service model is mind-boggling considering clients were complaining about the delivery of those services. Salaries are sub par based on current markets

Hi there, thanks for spending 8 years with us and for all you did while you were here. We wished we were reading a more positive review of your experience and also that we could have had a chance to address and rectify your concerns while you were still a part of our team. Will you please call our SVP of People Services at 403-515-6900 so you and she can have a conversation about this? We strive for an exceptional employee experience and value feedback from both current and former employees as to how to make that happen.
