Pros
- Employee Stock Plan – Offers the opportunity to invest in the company and benefit from its long-term success, fostering a sense of ownership and financial growth.
- RRSP Matching Program – Competitive retirement savings support that helps employees build long-term financial security with contributions matched by the employer.
- Personal Health Spending Account (PHSA) – Flexible wellness benefit that allows employees to allocate funds toward a wide range of health-related expenses not covered by traditional benefits.
Cons
- Favouritism is shown toward family and friends, often leading to inequitable opportunities and advancement.
- Leadership tolerates or supports behaviour that conflicts with the organization’s code of conduct, undermining accountability.
- Inconsistent application of remote work policies, resulting in confusion and perceived unfairness across teams.
- Limited generational diversity, with an aging workforce and few opportunities or efforts to attract and retain younger talent, which may impact innovation and long-term growth.
-Lack of gender diversity in leadership — 10 + Vice Presidents and not a single woman, reflecting a significant gap in representation and inclusivity at the executive level.
