Pros

Some nice people but average. No innovation or growth. A franchise model with little local or global ambition. Stagnant environment. Local owners hang on to power and money for dear life.

Cons

Freedom, white space. Few rules or joined up thinking. Lifestyle business

Pros

The brand is well known in the executive search industry and can be perceived as a good stepping stone.

Cons

Management in Montreal is horrible. No transparency, no security, flavor of the month employees, manipulation by pressuring and comparing successes and failures between employees and creating a very competitive and toxic atmosphere. They like to keep people in fear, and pressure them until they crack and then tell the team the employee wasn’t good enough to handle the job. They pretend to want the growth of their employees, but it is only through their own benefits and for apparences. They always have excuses and lies to not pay bonuses to their employees who work 24/7 for them to fulfill their unrealistic expectations.
