Pros

You get paid (... adding more text for 5 word minimum) Some coworkers are ok. But that could be said about any place.

Cons

compensation is lower than industry standard, the work culture is terrible (corrupt, management stick out for only themselves and keep you down, employee support is a joke, environment is crap, contractors are treated the same or better than FTE, lack of Canadian values, very few benefits that one would expect from a major bank, the list is endless)

Business Outlook

Pros

Supportive employer, great pay, decent culture. Upper management tries to make changes but bureaucracy slows things down

Cons

Can be catty/gossipy depending on the place, preferences are taken, so get in with the right crowd. Its all about sales
