Pros

You can drink all the water and beverages you want when you're working in the office.

Cons

No written process for anything. Everybody is walking around confused and don't know what's the right way to do things do they just it their own way. Then those people leave and now new employees are cleaning up the mess. The on-boarding is atrocious. They literally say "good luck" and dump you in a fire OR they don't give you anything to do for 6 months. There's no in between. The culture is toxic. Everybody is stepping over each other for a promotion. They like to put up this facade that management and employees are family but in reality, it's all garbage talk that entices you to work harder for them. They will get rid of you without a second thought to save money. Nobody has a passion for what they do here because they are forced to stay here because their visa is sponsored by Niagara. While other companies are becoming more progressive and allowing their employees a better work/life balance by offering good holidays, summer hours, and lenient work from home policies, Niagara is going the complete opposite direction. Holidays suck compare to the average and HR sent out an email recently forcing everyone to limit work from home hours and come to the office. The whole office knows that benefits suck.

Pros

There are pros but it varies by team

Cons

They are very heavy on politics. Even if you do a good job and have solid projects under your belt, if upper leadership decides they want to get rid of you, they will — simply because upper management’s ego is too big to admit they made a mistake. You’re also expected to work crazy hours with an overwhelming workload and poor work‑life balance. This company has changed a lot since the HQ was in Ontario. You’re just a number now, and they’ll get rid of you at any moment. There have been MULTIPLE times where they randomly fired a percentage of HQ employees for no reason.
