Pros

No pros. The company has little vision, a continual revolving door of mass hiring and mass lay offs.

Cons

Extremely unethical company who has absolutely no knowledge of fair and ethical business practises. If you don’t speak French, you don’t have a chance to be anything except used and abused. They use intimidation and scare tactics to try to squeeze work out of the predominately “newcomer to Canada” demographic which is sad because they do not know their employment rights under the employment standards act. They will throw you out, the minute they can replace you with someone who will do your job for less compensation. They talk about training and development online and through social media channels to make it look like they invest in their employees however the only people who receive any shred of training are those who are ex-pats from France.
