Pros

Good camaraderie between GCM sites in Canada. I have a job.

Kontras

Even though Canada is doing well in GCM (Global Capital Markets), only 1% raise in almost 6 years. Management is not the least bit interested in receiving input/suggestions on how processes might be improved, hence pretty much NO job satisfaction. Makes one develop a "if they don't care, why should I care?" attitude - I do the best I can in a demoralizing environment for our long-standing customers. Communication from management is close to non-existent, except for the quarterly emails from Quinlan which pretty much read like he recycles the same one and changes a sentence or two here and there - to the point where they're not worth reading. Benefits are eroding or becoming much more expensive over the years. Even though they tout themselves to be technologically innovative, in GCM they're typesetting system (ProFile) is almost embarrassing. When they acquired Bowne & Co. a few years back, who had put a lot of time and money toward developing their typesetting system (ACE), which is far superior to the ProFile system, they turfed ACE and continue to use ProFile with few obvious enhancements to it. Customers often make negative comments on the state of the current typesetting system.

Pros

The schedule is pretty consistent, and you get benefits, PTO, and sick time. Depending on the team you're on, you may have the chance to work holidays or pick up overtime at 1.5x pay. There is also Shift differential pay. Some teams also have hybrid schedules, which is a nice perk. It's a solid place to get experience and build your resume. The skills and connections you make here can lead to other opportunities in the future.

Kontras

Pay: Things may be different now, but when I worked there, the pay felt uneven depending on the position. For example, proofreaders made around $17/hour, document specialists around $19/hour, and workflow coordinators around $22/hour (before shift differentials). Given the responsibilities of some roles, the compensation didn't always seem to match the workload. Parking: Parking was honestly one of the worst parts of working there. You almost have to consider it part of your commute. The main option is a multi-level parking garage, and your choices are usually either the top floor, where your car bakes in the sun all day, or the floor below, where the available spots are typically all the way in the back. Accessibility / Commute: The office is located in a very busy area, which can make getting in and out a hassle. Between traffic, the light rail crossings, finding parking, walking through the garage, crossing the lobby, and taking multiple elevators, the commute often felt longer than it should have been. Lunch: Lunch is a 30-minute unpaid break. It's standard, but it does mean your day ends up feeling longer since you're either working 7.5 hours plus lunch or staying an extra 30 minutes before heading home. My Experience: I worked on a team that supported a large law firm. From my perspective, the team often felt understaffed and overworked. During my time there, I also saw management change several times, which made it difficult to maintain consistency. One thing that was particularly frustrating was the lack of internal promotion opportunities. When leadership positions opened up, the company often chose external candidates instead of promoting people who were already doing the work and understood the clients. It was discouraging for employees who wanted to grow within the company, and I saw several experienced and knowledgeable coworkers leave after being passed over for advancement opportunities. That said, this was my experience with one specific team. Other teams may have had very different experiences, management styles, and opportunities.
