Vantaggi

Your experience will depend on which of the 3 offices you're in. The main office is the worst - Big on diversity, barely a white male in sight - Employs many migrants, very multicultural - Some talented, friendly, hardworking staff who are grateful for their jobs. The company is indebted to their loyalty - Managers in other 2 non-main offices are friendly enough - The chance to contribute to a professional magazine (World Index)

Svantaggi

- Whatever the advertised rate, everyone will earn minimum hourly wage for up to 3 months during probation. Then it doesn't get much higher - Punch in/out on timecard. More than 5min late = 15min pay deduction, NO exceptions - Ridiculous practice of calling managers by title then first name (eg. Mr Luke) - No talking in main office or between offices as this is "distracting" - Need to provide a written explanation for absolutely any time off, even leaving 30min early (unpaid) - Had a meeting about only using bathroom in assigned 10min morning/afternoon breaks or 30min lunch! - Culture of unquestioning subservience, out-of-touch practices, no strategic direction, lack of proper training/empowerment. Inefficiency and miscommunication are common - Some managers can show preferential treatment and demonstrate ABSENCE of industry knowledge about some areas they oversee - Lack of clear job responsibilities, demarcations and procedures - Some UNETHICAL practices like falsified reviews, testimonials and customer feedback - Occasional accounting errors on weekly paycheques. No/incompetent explanation and no apology when queried - (NEWER) WORKERS ARE WITHHELD DUE PUBLIC HOLIDAY PAY, A LEGAL ENTITLEMENT. The company exploits workers who fear losing their jobs and won't speak up. Check the numbers, know your rights: see the Ontario Ministry of Labour's Public Holidays site (with calculator)

Vantaggi

Easy workload, and sometimes friendly coworkers with whom you can commiserate over the absurdities you encounter. I can only recommend working here if you need some quick money (albeit, not much) for minimal effort. Although the workplace culture is mentally taxing.

Svantaggi

Let's see... -Frequently changing schedules. -Constant looking over the shoulder from the hire ups, but not in regards to important matters like the actual work. No, you will get hassled about what you wear, who you talk to, and how often you use the restroom. Yes, it's as antiquated a place as you can find in 2021. -Receptionists are treated horribly by the bosses. -The "president" is an insecure bully who barely knows how to read or write but gets by on a silver tongue. He enjoys pitting employees against each other because he can't handle criticism of his own ineptitude. If you're in a sales position, RUN. You'll be subject to daily meetings where he rants about gobbledygook for hours while you should be doing actual work. I've been witness to several instances of sexist and inappropriate remarks from him. Yet through all his faults, he's able to maintain his position, which is impressive for an ex convict. -Several talented and skilled employees have gone by the wayside without good reason. It's happened so frequently that it's a running gag. Management has no eye for talent, only an eye for whoever punches in and out on time. -I have no idea how they've been able to run a print magazine for all these years without any proof of financial gain or success - they used to run events which ended well before Covid was even in the news. So, something is fishy and I wouldn't stick around to find out what it is.
