Pros

Great salary and benefits, most people are kind and nice to work with and the offices are very nice. Work life balance is very good and work hours/work from home offers flexibility

Cons

The priority is management and not the employee, even when the issue is on the management side. Onboarding new employees or existing employees in new roles needs improvement and attention.

Pros

Crown Corp: The company's mandate is respectable, fostering economic growth for small to medium sized enterprises. Very good benefits and retirement plan, with mid to mid-high salary ranges. There's good people here. Innovative tech and ideas for growth. The only Crown Corp who has not cost taxpayer dollars & is self sufficient without CA Government funding. It is really the only institution who prides itself on developing entrepreneurs vs simply loaning money.

Cons

Currently top heavy, with vague leadership. Internal processes will sometimes get in the way of good works, given the mandate. Sometimes corporate perception decisions will be a stumbling block. They have lost their way somewhat, in becoming a primary lender vs a supplementary aid for financial support. The developmental side of ent. support has dropped to an afterthought.
