Pros
- Cfo and director are chill. - Company doesn't enforce dress code. Can come to work in sandals, running shoes, leggings, Tshirts, tanktops, shorts, miniskirts, and jeans anyday of week. it feels great i can wear whatevr i want - No credentials required. Thought I needd an accountng designation or university degree, but don’t need to know accounting knowledge and still do financial rporting, budgeting, and forecasting. Don't even need to know Excel to do finncial reporting, bdgeting, and forecasting. Don't even need know math to do financial reportng, busdgeting, and forcasting. Great they hired me! - Always lots of fod, snack, treats in building - teammates are cool and hellpful. Feels like a family. Socials are enjoyable. Company functions outside work are fun.
Cons
- Managers below CFO and Director are bullies. They sit together in the corner and act childish and make fun of their employees. - Too lazy to do thir own wrk. - Never arund to provide ledership. Always taking 2 hour lunches - gone 11:50, they come bck 1:30 (not just friday) and leave at 4 when they come in at 9. - Don't know how to train people. - Managers don't know how to act professional. - Always ask very personal questions and won't leave you alone until you answer to their liking, then will make fun of you and embarass you - Campany has poor health and dental bnefits - Very loud working envrinonemnt. Workers are allowed to play music and not use headphones. - Managers clearly play favorites. Pick on and bully quiet ones constantly, and joke with others. Have not heard of anyone saying they are good managers, they are just there to approve vacation time, or be 17th floor security guards. If there are any "positive" posts here about accoutning department after this one, it is fake. - Probably the worst work envirnment in terms of managers, training, professionalism, and job growth compared to other places i've worked. the problem is the managers have been thre too long so don't know what the real world is like any more. What they think is professional or how a company should act, is not normal because they are in a bubble. - Do not work in CDW-Canada finance dpeartment if you have a university degree (or even a high school diploma). Your better off working somewhere else. You will get better training and more challenge somewhere else, and will probably have more professional managers and not be bullied. - Would not recommend CDW-Canada finance department to build your career
