Pros

you get work experience and training to put on your resume for your job applications to get you out of here. i got a significant raise (compensation, benefits and work culture) when i got another offer.

Cons

1. house of unnecessary secrecy: upper management withholds information from subordinates so they never understand why they are working their lives away. 2. when things go wrong, many people's first reactions is to find a place to point the finger of blame. expect to spend a significant portion of your time explaining yourself to upper management even when you're doing everything perfectly right. 3. low pay, low benefits, low vertical mobility unless you're in "the club" or network your way into "the club" 4. pay was exceptionally low for a position on which i could be contacted any time after hours to work.

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.
