Workopolis

Enjoyed my time at Workopolis very much. Was disappointed that they cancelled my contract early based on lack of revenue in the western office. Worked closely with four Account managers responsible for all western customers. I enjoyed building relationships with those customers and learning about their business needs. Learned a lot about advertising campaigns and website analytic's. Central office is located in Toronto and having that gap made it difficult to communicate effectively sometimes.Often was left out of conversations and given important info last or not at all. The office in Calgary consisted of six people and as a result we all became very close. Working with my coworkers was the best part of my day and I learn a great deal from them as they were all in different departments.

Fun place to work, but advancement is based on nepotism or how much your personality fits with the culture - regardless of performance.

This leads to less focus on getting things done and more focus on social events.

The culture, while pleasant to work in for the most part, does not produce open thought or innovation.  The company has drastically fallen behind competitors. 

Salaries have been frozen, but this has been spun as a policy change and not a sign of hard times.  Being honest about hard times doesn't fit with the "culture", so employees are fed misinformation as if they were idiots.

It was a great place to work for the short time I was there. Three of us were brought in to do a year end clean up of the receivables. Our colleagues were fantastic to us and treated us like old friends, but the management decided to do their own clean up of sorts and unfortunately they decided that we were no longer needed on New Years Eve. Oh well, their loss is anothers gain!!!!!

This company has alot of room for emprovement. There's no room for advancement and the company has done mass layoffs each November since 2011 to current year (2013)

Upper management is running this company to the ground and have no idea how to lead. 
They do not value their employees  and don't provide any training or coaching to perform daily activities. Low pay. Everyone is miserable and no one smiles. They just laid off 15 people in August 2017.
Do not apply here.

Great people to work with. Management and communications needed some work. Processes also needed to be updated. But the opportunity to earn commissions was available. The environment in general was good.

I really loved working for Workopolis. There was an amazing culture where people truly cared about their work and the peers that they worked with. They struggled a bit with focus on development of website but cared for their employees.

-Company is now part of indeed
-part of the sales initiative that the former CEO had to move Workopolis into the next phase of recruitment
-work was heavily focused on business development, and not on product creation.

great work life balance and geat co-workers to work with. frequent parties to enjoy.
however current management have no strategy and loosing this great Canadian brand. layoffs every year !

Fun place to work, management is moving the company in the wrong direction though. The best days for this company are behind them. Still have a lot to offer for employees though.
