Pros

Nice people, good benefits. Location is nice but if you are concerned with what you eat there is little around to help.

Cons

Salaries are the lowest hear, will often promise the opportunity of negotiation at certain periods but will never follw through. Company preaches transparency but offers little or none to staff. Management is much like high school clique where if they are not fond of you, they will ensure little career movement. Would highly advise to pass on an opportunity with this company.

Not the best place to work

Pros

Hybrid work options but that’s the only pro

Cons

Micro managed to another level. Managers make you feel like you need to do better always even if your numbers are good. favouritism is the only way to move up in this company. Take a sick day and they make you feel horrible for taking a sick day. First sick day you take they ask for doctors notes and if you question that they will say it’s best to keep in your file incase upper management or hr wants to know. I’m sure that’s illegal. They talk a lot about inclusion but I don’t even think they understand the meaning of inclusion. Listens to calls and knit picks words you have said even if it’s a perfectly good call.

Pros

- they incentivize and game-ify filling out glassdoor surveys with favourable reviews. I was asked to write a review of what it is like to work with belairdirect and told that I had to send proof of submitting a review to enter a draw prize - thorough training for licensing exam

Cons

- had to buy my own monitor, was only supplied with a small 13inch laptop and when the time came after training to start taking calls there was no way i was going to be able to navigate 4+ windows on a tiny screen - i have never been so micromanaged in my life. I had not even met my manager in person during my employmnet but multiples times everyday i would be asked what i was working on. Made me feel like i could not be trusted and that they thought I was incompentent in my role - intense pressure to upsell. When I didnt try to upsell to a client becuase she was waiting for her pension income to come in I was told off for it... sorry for not wanting to be pushy on an elder living below the poverty line.
