Just don't do it – Sopexa Canada

Pros

Food and drinks industry is quite nice to work in You get to do 360 campaigns with different partners If you like working on 20 projects at the same time with lots of pressure, you'll fit right in lol

Cons

They keep saying they offer this package deal with lots of perks. Let's talk about those "perks". - "Hybrid" work environment... where you must be at the office minimum 3 days a week, those 3 days must include either a Monday or a Friday. At this point let's not call it Hybrid for the love of God. - They do offer a quite nice insurance policy, but when you don't have time to even take advantages of your benefits (except to go see a psychologist because you're burning out) red flag much? - "We're flexible and care about our ressources." Who are you kidding? We've seen 10 people leave the company during a period of what.. 8 months? Oh and, why hire someone to replace the ones gone when you can just push all their workload on the other employees? Even after seeing people burning out and crying out loud, they still don't act on it. Avoid at all cost. You deserve better. Your mental health deserves better.

Pros

Qualification in wine Lots of free food and drink, plus events to attend Light workload You will be forced to improve your French

Cons

Proficiency in French is listed as a good to have in job spec but actually essential Open shaming, discrimination, and racism Senior management don't do any work but go on press trips, refuse to let non-favoured colleagues go Not enough clients Full of gossip No career progression discussed or available Employees are cliquey and look down on non-native French workers Lack of compassion, manners, or professionalism - employees late to work every day, don't offer any help when workers are seriously ill, openly racist Senior employees have favourites

Pros

Unfortunately limited and purely materialistic... Few perks such as freebees gathered from tradeshows (food, wines, spirits) and other, excellent medical coverage for Asian standards, 25 days of annual leave, being on the account side, few good opportunities to travel.

Cons

The company has no clue how to operate in the modern communication world, nor does it have a clear strategy for where it's going at. It's been recently acquired by French event group Hopscotch and the little barons already in place in the agency are all priding themselves with their newly acquired "VP" titles but they don't have the slightest clue about what they're doing. Not to mention the leadership in Asia is clearly weak with a guy punching way too high above his weight... Back in the days the company used to heavily rely on public founding from the EU and subsidies from agricultural boards to promote F&B products in foreign markets. Although they're trying to change that, old habits die hard and they still behave like an old and dusty administration, heavily hierarchical and centralised. Not to mention one better negotiates one's package hard before joining as once in the place they're stingy beyond imagination and completely disconnected from the realities of the markets they operate in.
