Pros

Pay is on time, some nice people, small things like snacks and lunches, office is new

Cons

Not ideal if you're taking public transit, lower than average pay, nepotism, very stuck in their ways, opinions are not valued, buggy product, angry customers, understaffed, overworked unrealistic expectations, no forward movement and if it is it's just a title change for them to blast on social media. The biggest issue here and the root of most of these problems are from the owner, Roger. The man abuses his employees, in open sight and in private encounters. He will make condescending comments and use borderline abusive tactics to openly show he is the bigger person than you. He and other managers promise you the world in your interview and once you're in, they have you by the chains. You do as they say, until you leave at your will or theirs. If you go in for an interview and it doesnt go well, him and the cool club will group together and make jokes about the things you said in your interview right after you leave. How pathetic and unprofessional. All this defines a workplace with never ending turnover. People come and go "rapidly", a tale as old as its time. Lasting past probation is unlikely. 40%-50% do not pass. And making 1 year is 85% not probable. In the job postings they say they're experiencing "rapid growth". There's 20 job openings at the time of writing this. Is this rapid growth or massive turnover? It's all turnover...it is a weekly expectation for Roger to send an email to staff that someone was let go because they're not a fit. Yeah ok, has he ever thought maybe he wasn't the fit instead? All positive reviews are written by HR or their close friends who still work there. If you load your resume on indeed and it shows you currently work at book4time, Roger will get an instant notification that you did this and you'll be confronted the first thing next morning, and potentially terminated. Roger pays indeed so much money for advertising job postings and they offer in return notifications of staff trying to leave. I can go on and on but you get the idea. There's too many better companies that will treat you like a human. Just skip this dump and look elsewhere.

Book4Time Response

I’m sorry to hear you had a bad experience at Book4Time. Your perspective, in particular how you felt you were treated really concerns me as much as I’m sad to read such a review. This is clearly not how we operate or treat our employees. We have a great culture and growth opportunity in our market. Our client retention rate is north 97% and our employee NPS score is 8.2 out of 10, this wouldn’t be possible if it wasn’t for the hard work everyone at Book4Time puts daily. To anyone considering employment at Book4Time I encourage you to reach out to any of our employees directly via LinkedIn for feedback if you have any concerns. As for the reviewer, I would appreciate the opportunity to speak with you directly so I can better understand the context of your review. Thank you.

Pros

Free snacks, nice office. Location is out of rhe city.

Cons

This organization promises innovation, growth, excitment and piece of mind. No matter the department, the toxic nature of the culture is unbearable. Employees have either worked there for 6+ years or under 1 year. They restructure the orginization every 2-3 weeks, hire for roles that they eliminate a month later, constantly change position titles to sound more attractive to potential employees. When I worked their, the departments had specific role titles. I never saw anyone stay long at this org. Too much constant change to maintain progression. An extremely unprofessional CEO & HR department make a terrible combination. The heiarchy is incredible. You never feel appreciated. You never have piece of mind. I would pray that people avoid this place, in comparission to what other orginizations are doing - this was the worst orginization I have ever worked for. After finally leaving, I found a job with better benefits, a better environment, better perks, better management. A xompany that actually treats you like a person. The role itself wasn't terrible - it was the actual orginization. Even the fact that the CEO feels the need to be defensive toward these negative reviews in my mind proves that the corporation does NOT speak for itself, and you have to convince people to work there. You will very much regret accepting this job, and wish you had accepted another from the beginning. The company and business itself is also dying, not changing and completely unhopeful for the future.

Pros

Free snacks, monthly lunches, free company events, free parking, close to good restaurants, highways, shopping centres

Cons

Management has no idea what they’re doing, blind forecasts and projections, would be very surprised if they event hit 75% of 2019 with one salesperson bringing in 50% of sales. Terrible management styles, poor handling of account distribution, and extremely high turnover in all departments. For sales, the commission structure is too aggressive - starts off at less than 5%. To make matters worse, you sell in USD but they don’t convert the money from USD to CAD when they pay you.
