Great place to work

QA Analyst (Current Employee) - Toronto, ON - 3 October 2023

Manager helps to delegate tasks efficiently and the team members are willingly to help when you don't understand. The hybrid work setting also helps with work-life balance.

No work-life balance, lots of flexibility though

Senior Business Advisor (Former Employee) - New Westminster, BC - 25 September 2023

Decent salary, Directors don't know the systems and there's no training so you are on your own. If you get into it from working your way up then you may do okay but if you come into from outside you will be a chicken with its head cut off.

Good place to work

Client Service Representative (Current Employee) - St. Albert, AB - 24 September 2023

Good benefits, vacation time, holidays off. Training program could be better. Lots of turnover in the staff but also lots of opportunities for advancement.

Very independent

Underwriter (Former Employee) - Virtual - 21 September 2023

Part time job during school they publish rankings so hard to get help when you have a problem since everyone needs to focus on their own statistics first and getting deals done

Fun workplace fair work expectations and helpful team

Client Service Representative (Former Employee) - Commerce Court, ON - 19 September 2023

Great workplace if you’re looking to commit the time. If you do well and want to move up, management will work with you to make that happen (if they like you). Was only ever busy around lunch and managers are around to help for tricky issues. The pay was minuscule though.

Pros

Great team

Cons

Horrible pay

Poor

Credit Counselor (Current Employee) - Toronto, ON - 18 September 2023

Horrible place to work. You work like a dog for no proper compensation. The hours are completely ridiculous especially if you have a family. I would advise against this job

Great benefits

FRAUD MANAGEMENT ANALYST (Former Employee) - Montréal, QC - 17 September 2023

Only good thing about this job was the benefits. They have a great vacation package which I think increases every year. And you get a nice bonus at the end of the year based on performance.However, they are disorganized, dishonest, show favoritism and nepotism. But if you have a great team / manager, you may tolerate it. Problem is, they change teams n managers every 6months. So you may end up with a manager that gets nothing done n that may affect your work/life balance. They are highly understaffed. Highly. And the training you get starts you on the wrong foot. If you cannot handle large amounts of calls back to back, this is not going to be easy. But they give you lots of vacation days to make up for the stress. And you have access to virtual therapy. You're going to need it lol.

Pros

Great benefits and vacations

Cons

Everything else

Poor management

Typical Job for Customer Service

Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) - Canada - 7 September 2023

Don't expect too much working in customer service here. It is extremely stressful and competitive and many people just trying to get by getting their paycheck and moving on to a better role, stay for a 1-2 years max and find something else better.

Depends on your manager

Financial Service Representative (Current Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 6 September 2023

Some managers can be really bad. Some are better. So depends on the location. But in general you are reminded that you are lower down the hierarchical chain often. Growth can be slow and a lot of politics involved in who gets promoted.
