Pros

Work from home Benefits Paid sick days Paid holidays such as a week at Christmas and all stats off Salary

Cons

-Was told to try not to use the sick days we are provided and apart of our salary - IT did not perform their duties on time and we were a week late on a program during training - Training was very overwhelming with too much being taught too quickly - hard to keep up and very stressful - Trainer sub par - did not feel I got the additional training / guidance needed/ necessary - upon hiring no o e told me I needed a Ethernet port in the room the computers were in- so fyi - they drop off all the equipment and you have to set it all up by yourself - not my forte .. and take it down and box it back up - No support from team leads / management - Was let go in training, they figured a trainee should be more proficient at that time frame, a very cold short explanation or ending the working relationship, I was served a termination letter 3 hours later - High production expectation - was told there’s new on boarding for training , 2 days before myself and the new hire ( started with me ) got dismissed - Was not notified/ told by week 3 ( 2 if you count IT issues ) if you are not at a level of expectation you will be let go - Very low salary - Personal issue: extremely stressful, lots of information and tasks to do, pulling extra hours to keep up. Very mentally draining and too rushed and expected too much at 3 weeks of training - IMO . I e spoken to current staff who struggled “ SO much “ in training ( in their words ) and did not feel comfortable until 6-12 months after they were done training and asked team lead ALOT of questions daily. ( I would like to have been given an opportunity to succeed like this staff member received ) or given a grading system that determined I was not fit for the role and not blindsided when I got dismissed. -

Pros

Fully remote within the province. Onboarding smooth, extremely friendly people all around. Culture is all about being nice. If you land in a nice role here with a good leader, you'll really enjoy it. It has the potential to be a very, very stress-free workplace. It's a non-profit insurance company after all; there's not too much hustle and bustle anywhere in the company. Pay is comfortably competitive for entry-level roles. Great place to retire.

Cons

Very tall structure. Tons of bureaucracy. Employees on lower rungs have incredibly limited and pigeonholed roles. Very low, very slow innovation. Management deflects at every level. There is no growth in skill-set to be had here naturally, you have to push insanely hard to get exposure to new technology and tools. It's a very "it's been like this forever" type of company. There's no use pointing out that it can be done better. Decisions on improvements on technology and process take 1-2 years to implement. Out of touch, grandfathered-in middle managers with little technical ability. Over-focus on leadership from creative backgrounds, under-focus on leadership from technical building backgrounds. Growth is an everyday punchline for everyone in the company, but there is nothing in the company to facilitate that growth. Everything is lagging behind by 10 years.

Pros

Benefits. That's it. That's the whole Pros list.

Cons

Everything else. Mismanagement doesn't even begin to describe it. Do not work for this company
