Constant Layoffs

Pros

Entertainment and sports industry is interesting

Cons

Layoffs once a year and vacant roles are not replaced after people quit. Shirinking teams are expected to cover roles not being replaced on top of new projects. Low bonus and pay. Not enough diversity. Not enough employee engagement (employee appreciation such as holiday party). Not enough internal promotions because new roles are not added

Leadership can be a hit or a miss...

Pros

Access to great benefits and investment opportunities, flexibility that promotes a healthy work/life balance, competitive wage (not the strongest in the industry nor the weakest), access to continuous training and development courses. There are some incredible leaders within this organization that provide their teams with clarity and direction, I've had the pleasure of working for some of the best!

Cons

Not all leaders are equal despite training opportunities available to everyone. While I've worked under the best, I've experienced some of the worst leadership and management of my career as well. This leads to a lack of communication, direction and clarity. Some emplotees are overwhelmed and overworked, managing more than their share leading to burnout, while others are sidelined with minimal tasks and responsibility, despite volunteering to take on more. Generally speaking the work is not fulfilling nor does it truly utilize everyone's unique strengths. With constant organizational changes, one wonders when the next round of layoffs will take place which isn't motivational. While some leaders are absolutely amazing, many seriously lack professionalism and emotional intelligence. You are essentially 'headcount'. For a company that preaches ethics, morals and mental health, I see a lot of unhealthy and unethical practices.

Pros

They offer some decent benefits like an Employee Discount on Bell products, The Source, etc. and some good RRSP and Pension Plan matching.

Cons

Terrible work culture, long working hours, no strategic vision, very white male senior leadership with old school thinking, and a LOT of politics that impact business operations. They talk a lot about mental health wellbeing, but do very little except for a few talks to actually provide decent working conditions for their employees.
