Two accounting teams, only one reports to CFO - werkgeversreview Accounting Manager bij Smartcentres

- Laid back informal structure (but still efficient) - Found the hours to be good and regular - Great management (good people that know what they are doing) - Generally a smart and good bunch of employees - Past and current CEO are experts and also good natured with stellar (well liked by all from what I have seen) - Great HR staff - Alot going on future (development)

- would also say that growth opportunities are limited and promotions are not structured as you find in other fields - no RRSP match (although I do not care about this)

There are some good people to work with who you can learn from Decent training is provided for most positions Financial educational assistance provided

Absolutely awful culture Long hours are expected every day Taking your vacation is frowned upon and a frustrating process Work life balance isn't possible if you want to have a future there They feel they own you Half hearted attempts at things like fitness programs fall short of useful Salary is not competitive No pension or long term incentives Benefits offered are the bare minimum and have been scaled back in recent years Very few opportunities to move up Management spends an absurd amount of time babysitting grown men and women Degrading attempts to blame others is the norm Favouritism and nepotism are rampant Be prepared to be scolded for what others are commended for - double standards are ridiculous Everyone is in a constant state of panic for what inevitably turns out to be nothing urgent at all No opportunities to actually make decisions or use common sense Essentially a sweat shop where you're expected to be quiet for as long as humanly possible and do mindless work
