Performance Compensation
Pros: Goof focus on development, well organized and run company, technologically advanced.  Good back-up system for admin staff. All employees have coaches and they take this seriously, it is not lip service. Various work functions/events organized for staff throughout the year.  High turnover esp. with younger audit staff but they ultimately move on to companies that are or may become clients and they leave with a good impression of the firm.
Cons: Compensation is structured so that the least amount can be awarded.  All staff levels in the admin side are compared against their peers Canada-wide.  It is almost impossible to stand out - unless you walk on water.  Bonus percentages have declined over the years, there was a time when you could expect up to 10% of your base salary in bonus. for good performance  Now many do not receive anything and others maybe 1-2%, and that is with a very good performance rating.
