Pros
None compared to a few years ago. Executive compensation has gotten completely out of line over the last 7 or 8 years and I don't find mine great in this day and age. My job itself is still a great job but the drivel spewing from our corporate communications people gets a little thick so I find you just have to try and push the ignore button. Who cares about best governance awards or best annual report awards; what about best telecommunication provider awards and somehow getting back to that, which we used to be.
Cons
Spending millions to save nickles and dimes. Seeing good Canadian jobs outsourced to the Phillipines and India. With more and more work not related to your actual job being thrust upon you, not enough time left in the day to do efficiently what you thought you were trained for and they paid you to do. I firmly believe it is "engineered failure" to get rid of the rest of the bargaining unit employees.This company has evolved into operating in a totally reactive rather than proactive manner over the last 7 or 8 years. The customers are sufferring and going elsewhere, the employees are not all happy nor a cohesive team anymore, and even the shares are tanked and they were before this recent recession took a grip.
