Pros
-Decent entry-level opportunities -Great benefits and pension plan -Volunteering opportunities -Flexwork opportunities -Easy promotion, up to a certain level -Various classroom and online training available
Cons
-Unqualified management or with no leadership skills who micromanage the c**ap out of you -Promotions based on the criteria "you've been here too long" which lead to my first point -Terrible pay -Never-ending overtime and lack of efficient planning and resource allocation to avoid it -No recognition: management doesn't recognize your efforts/accomplishments/initiatives, yet are quick to indicate on your mistakes -Pretty cheap with their employees: for an anniversary of the company, we received a chocolate bar, lollipop and a card with "Thank you" -Offshore different duties/jobs, which makes the process either less qualitative, or harder to monitor -Unfriendly, awkward people who just happen to work together
