Svantaggi
I do not recommend working here if you are a millennial, in your 20's or 30's. Particularly in the marketing, communication, and PR field, you will not grow your skillset and you will not be given any tools or opportunities to grow your career. Management has a stronghold on mid- to senior- level positions and upward mobility is virtually nonexistent. Managers are often promoted to Directors while lower-level employees are not given opportunities for promotions. Everything is outsourced to India and the Philippines. If there's something you would like to do, chances are someone in another country is doing it for less. Pay raises are 1-3% so don't come in underpaid. You will not be compensated or given a raise regardless of your contributions, work level, education, etc. Bonuses at the corporate level are almost not worth mentioning. There is no work life balance. 55+ hour weeks were the norm. Unrealistic time management expectations i.e., 8 and 9 pm email requests. Montreal, Canada HQ is king while the US is the red headed step child. Telework policy fluctuates to align with industry trends. Management is lenient on some and strict on others. Health insurance consists of a high deductible plan with regular out-of-pocket increases each year, all of which fall on the employee. Benefits are lackluster and days off are far and few in between.
