Bad Management = Problematic Work Environment

Anonymous employee

Pros

- Good co-workers and friendly environment - Flexible work hours (depending on manager); but this can bring on resentment and judgement from co-workers - Convenient TTC access

Cons

- Horrible systems (SAP) that are not user friendly, nor functional for a Real Estate company. This is due to it's (very) close links to Loblaw (software used to count produce is not at all the same for Real Estate). This will never change due to the Loblaw connection. - Due to the above mentioned con, employees are forced to track financials and other projects, etc., manually (exccel). This leaves excess room for human error and makes it very difficult for reporting purposes. - 95% of Management (Director level and up) do not have their employees best interest at heart. Most are preoccupied with elevating their own careers and struggle to lead a team. - Benefits package is generic - There is a bonus structure in addition to yearly raise - Due to the constant link to Loblaw, there can be many struggles to do your job to the best of your ability as there is a constant "need to get permission" attitude - HR is NOT a friendly department, nor are they very active in the company; with the exception of hiring, firing, pulling back on promotions, raises and unbudgeted new hires. - No mentorship program so if you're looking to learn, this company will not be the best place.

Pros

Salary is competitive compared to most places for an EA position. However the benefits are not very good.

Cons

My experience with this company has been overwhelmingly negative due to its toxic work culture and lack of care for employee well-being. Despite presenting itself as a forward-thinking organization, it operates more like a corporate sweatshop, where employees are treated as expendable resources rather than valued individuals. Work-life balance is virtually non-existent, with unreasonable expectations placed on staff, often leading to burnout. One of the most glaring issues is the company's complete lack of organization and poor communication across teams. There is little to no coordination between departments, and employees are often left scrambling to meet unrealistic deadlines due to management's inability to provide clear direction. This disorganization filters down to every level, creating a chaotic and stressful work environment. The high employee turnover speaks volumes about the underlying issues. With a revolving door of talent, it becomes clear that the company values productivity over people, and the high attrition rate is a direct result of its failure to foster a supportive and sustainable work culture. Instead of addressing the root causes of dissatisfaction, the company seems content to cycle through employees, replacing them without making meaningful improvements. Management, unfortunately, is not just ineffective but also unprofessional and, at times, petty. Constructive feedback is met with resistance or outright hostility, and there is a noticeable lack of leadership or accountability at the top. Decisions are often made in a vacuum, with little regard for how they affect employees on the ground. This has resulted in a work environment where morale is perpetually low, and employees feel undervalued and unsupported.
