Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about our work environment. We strive to provide a positive workplace culture and take your input seriously when shaping company policy. We never want our employees to feel overworked, and pride ourselves on the positive feedback we get from our employees on work-life balance.
Transitioning of a company from one CEO to another is always a challenging time. However with this change in upper management it has led to improved communication overtime and a positive working environment. When it comes to pay scale, we use market guidelines to offer competitive salaries for our employees.
1. Immediate investment in my mentoring and growth.
2. Opportunities to advance or switch roles.
3. Relative schedule flexibility.
4. The company is growing rapidly and expanding into new market segments.
5. An incredibly supportive team that made the move to a new city much easier.
6. Positive company culture—I saw complaints being taken seriously and addressed.
7. Convenient location with direct LRT access and buses right outside.
A full (almost) bias-free review:
I moved from Ontario to Edmonton for this job and have been here for 6 months. I don't care for the city but personally, this is the best work environment I’ve ever been in. The CEO and management team’s investment in the business and, more importantly, in us, the employees was immediately evident.
Cons
1. Office without windows (doesn't personally bother me).
2. Salary and benefits are not as competitive, given the company is still relatively small.
I don’t really get the negative experiences some ex-employees have mentioned. I’m just glad I joined when I did—I see things are getting better every month.
