Pros

Strong brands, very disciplined business, very inclusive. The company enjoys very high retention because it truly walks the talk of being family company

Cons

The company is a great place to work for a reason.....it puts people first! The company does great work for the communities where they do business. They give back to brantford in a meaningful way.

Pros

1. Good pay and benefits 2. Flexible management that is considerate of people needing to take time off for personal reasons (also a con because some people take advantage of this flexibility) 3. Good company reputation 4. Good experience, lots of training & development opportunities provided 5. Pretty laid back environment depending on to the department you're in

Cons

1. Company led by marketing decisions & rewards marketers for launching new products, even if there is plenty of evidence to prove the new products will likely fail 2. No sick policy - have seen some people really take advantage of the system 3. Like most companies, very political atmosphere - more about who you know and network with that leads to job promotions, not skills or capability... must have a very high tolerance to see this go on and want to stay here 4. Very passive aggressive organization - people avoid direct feedback. As much as management touts that they want to encourage direct feedback, they don't react well when they hear it 5. Lots of people "sneaking by" with their jobs (at least in sales), from an outsider perspective you wonder how some people got to the level they are at when they CLEARLY lack the skills and dedication to get there
