Pros

Can't think of one at this point. Based on the mass closures and layoffs/terminations, I don't expect they will be much of a player for much longer. Wouldn't be surprised to see all of the branches closed in the near future and Canadian customers will be serviced out of the US. Don't believe me? Call in and the chances are you will be speaking with someone in Phoenix that doesn't know that Edmonton and Toronto are more than a two hour drive apart and that people in Vancouver don't live in igloos. Disgusted to see what has become of this company in the last 2-1/2 years.

Kontras

More than 100 branch closures in the last year. Pay is poor based on competitors. A large number of tenured and hard working employees have jumped ship (or been cast aside) leaving inexperienced and unmotivated people to try and provide services. Angry and dissatisfied customers are a constant. You are just a number. Never forget that. They won't and will treat you as such. No room for advancement. At all. None. Reports and more reports. If you are an account manager, be prepared to spend a lot of time working at home telling your boss what you were doing all day.

Pros

Benefits are decent and reasonably priced. They offer a 401k match, BCBS insurance, FSA, HSA, dental, vision, life insurance, and accidental D&D coverage. They also do a 3‑to‑1 match for donations to non‑religious 501(c) organizations. There’s a big emphasis on volunteering, with plenty of opportunities to get involved. The building itself is beautiful, with a free on‑site gym, a coffee shop, real trees in the atrium, a waterfall, and a large cafeteria (though the food can vary). They’re also flexible about which days you come on‑site, depending on the team’s schedule. If I needed to switch a Monday for a Thursday, it was never an issue. My manager was also supportive of remote work on days when the weather made commuting difficult.

Kontras

Admins do not get an annual bonus. They're really strict on Overtime, really weird about worrying about mini costs. Like they'll spend 50k on a week-long training but freak out if people want to rent a car while being in town. Can't buy lunch for this 3 hour meeting to cut costs, but we'll drop 10k on this other thing. It's also so unfair that some people get to work remotely and others are forced to come in 3 times a week, for the exact same roles. Every meeting is basically online, so it's just silly and a power trip.
