Pros

My coworkers are great people who I enjoy working with.

Cons

Don't expect a livable wage unless you're one of the higher-ups. This company loves to preach about having Indigenous employees, yet does not give an ounce of respect to them. Truth and Reconciliation day is not even recognized at this company. Last year on this holiday, they had an unfortunate company-wide meeting that did not even discuss the importance of Truth and Reconciliation day. We (Indigenous employees) are just numbers to this company. If I could leave this job I would. Living paycheck to paycheck and STILL being in the overdraft and short on rent is not ideal. Pay your employees better, I have already started looking for better options. Save your time and find a better company that will respect you and your efforts. This place isn't it.

Pros

I'm writing this while I'm working because it's not like anyone would notice or care anyway. (lots of free time if I want it) Another pro is I won't feel bad leaving when I find a better job

Cons

No respect towards indigenous employees from managers or anyone else higher up, concerns don't get addressed and they certainly don't care about you, you are just another number to keep their fake reconciliation movement up. When you work here you can see what the main goal is, filling the pockets of the people who matter (upper heads). Please don't believe the indigenous stuff for a moment, walk into an office in Atlantic Canada and you will believe me. Management sucks, they get run over by their employees but discipline the ones who work hard and try to make things better. Pay needs increased for the ones who deserve it. Never any recognition for good work. There are lots of secrets at this company for unknown reasons. Likely because of the amount some of the employees are being underpaid. I get the feeling unless you're friends of the CEO or really have some pull against them you do not matter.

Pros

Office culture is awesome, I feel like I could go into anyone's office for a chat or I could email/message anyone and feel like a I'm being treated like a human. There are also some office events that anyone is able to attend which are usually fun if enough people show up and people sometimes bring in food/baked goods to share with everyone in the office which is nice.

Cons

Like many other reviews say, we do not get paid enough and there is a huge power dynamic going on. I feel like I could lose my job in a layoff or if I stay here I won't get any type of promotion. Also mentioned in other reviews the whole "indigenous" thing is just to get numbers up. There is no indigenous recognition other than truth and reconciliation day (which you are not allowed to take the day off for to go to events in your community)
