Pros
Great learning experience as there is an endless amount of work to do as the work is non-stop. Fellow co-workers are incredibly bright, talented, and intelligent. The best of the best in Halifax. You get to work on some amazing projects and clients which are unmatched anywhere else in the city. I would recommend this workplace to a friend, but only if they were very junior and needed experience, otherwise there are better agencies out there.
Kontras
You are expected to work 40+ hours a week minimum. When I was there I had to meet impossible deadlines and was forced to work evenings, weekends, scheduled vacations, and holidays to meet them, otherwise the work would not get done. There was a bad morale in the office, as during my last year there my co-workers were constantly looking for a new job. People got burnt out quickly as the result of their heavy workloads and being micro-managed. There was a below average compensation to the point where if my fellow co-workers worked beyond their 37.5 contracted hours, they were working below minimum wage. There are some unexplained differences in salaries for equal positions, as well as some gender pay gap issues.
