Pros

Because it’s a small team, there was a lot of autonomy, which was nice. Some of the team members were very supportive at the beginning of working there and willing to jump in and help when you had too much on your plate.

Cons

Probably one of the most unorganized teams I’ve ever worked on. There were no sales processes in place and leadership didn’t really make any effort to establish anything. Because of this, they had a very hard time landing clients and keeping them. For a company that said they were always transparent with the team and that they were “like family”, it came as a shock when majority of the company was laid off. Following the lay offs, HR made multiple mistakes on the exit paperwork which caused approximately 3 months of back and forth with P+E and Service Canada. Overall, P+E could’ve done SO much better. I understand it’s tough times right now and layoffs happen, but the whole process has been dealt with horribly.

Pros

Good coworkers who cared about the work and one another

Cons

Lots of turnover of employees (either leaving or being let go), no clear guidance from management, and unclear expectations. I see you commenting about taking the comments seriously. It has been a while since I worked there and the situation hasn't seem to have changed. Please take your employees seriously and invest in them.

Pros

The all-remote, digital model offered great work/life flexibility without the uncertainty that comes with the hybrid models adapted elsewhere. A good place to hone your skills as a junior recruiter.

Cons

When I was around, there was very high turnover in both employees and clients, extremely limited onboarding and training framework, strong resilience to new ideas or constructive feedback. And the company's value prop was hard to believe in because the service offering didn't feel ready.
