Pros

-pay is industry standard. -gets you experience in financial industry. -some of the employees are very smart people. -you are in immigrant who has trouble finding work. -just get in, take what you can, get out and move to something better as quickly as you can.

Cons

-there is no such thing as work/life balance, I've never seen a company exploit it's people so badly. -at the end of the day, your work hours are so long that when you calculate your hourly wage, it ends up being pretty sad. -massive employee turnover, even in management. This place is a meat market. -management/supervisors don't care at all about employees. They mostly can't even be bothered to respond to direct emails or questions, unless it's to string you along and keep you working. They don't understand that it's the people that give a company value; it's not how hard you can work them, but how productive they are. No one is productive when they work day and night. -There is little communication between departments, unless it's to pass blame. This is not a co-operative environment. Expect the intensely unhealthy working environment to result in politics and back-stabbing, and be prepared.

Pros

Armenian Office people are great and in general there is a friendly atmosphere and conditions. Lots of attention to employees from Armenian management

Cons

I can not say anything positive from Management team from Canada. Although I can say lots of negative, but I will refrain from it.
