We take this review to heart and encourage this employee and any of our existing employees to talk to us directly so that we can resolve any concerns related to their employment experience. To-date, we have not received a complaint related to racism on our senior management team and we are currently devoting organizational time/resources to looking at the issues of equity, diversity and reconciliation both within our organization as well as in the services we provide to our stakeholders. We believe these to be important topics and are providing multiple ways for our employees to engage in the discussions around them and help inform next steps. The comment that there is low turnover in our senior management team is true and we take that to be a good sign that we are able to retain highly-skilled professionals in what can be really difficult, high-pressure roles. Many of our executive team members started with us in front-line roles and have worked their way into these leadership positions over time. It is career progression like this that we believe we can be proud of!

Pros

You know what’s great? They don't keep me on too short of a leash here. No, here they let me roam. I’ve got just enough slack to dig up some trouble but not enough to bury myself.

Cons

Promotions are dangled in front of you like treats and create a dog-eat-dog, competitive environment.
