Avantages
Good benefits That's it. The Extended Health and Dental plan is VERY good.
Inconvénients
People are generally nice in other branches, but in Ottawa? Forget it! If battle is your game, then Ottawa branch is where you'll do the best in honing your battle skills. People at this branch are petty and afraid of anyone who is there to enjoy their job because they love what they do. You'll be picked on, targeted and pushed to the point of tears. Team leads have their favourite employees and give them all sorts of power they shouldn't have as non-decision makers. One can only take so much before they up and quit and go work for Intact which is full of ex-Economical Ottawa branch employees. Don't ask to take your full vacation entitlement. Don't take more than 3 sick days a year. They tout a great benefits package in that respect, but discourage use of it. As for salary increases, they're TINY. It took 12 years to make a livable wage.
