Kontras
{1} They sell you on a great working environment. First of all the main building is so small it can't fit us so we are in a separate office building next door isolated from 90% of the actual company {2}They sell you on a fitness centre and personal trainer for work/life balance but when you arrive there is no trainer and the fitness room is really a set of dumbbells and 1-2 machines. {3} They sell you on their priority for safety -that's great- but I spend 8 hours a day at my desk so the safety orientation is a waste of time. I'm not sure why I had to spend a FULL day learning on-site training procedures (confined space etc) for things I will never, ever do or come into contact with as per my job responsibilities. The safety AGM is mandatory torture and really irrelevant to me and others in similar roles. {4} They sell you on inclusion and diversity. The christian belief is strong in this company so good luck to you if you are not the "right type" of christian or you don't believe at all. The CEO will belittle you for your lack of faith and upper management will try to 'convert you'. {5} They will sell you on their Canada's Best Managed Companies awards but once you are in you will begin to question how they managed to win because they can't even manage themselves.
