Pros

easy to get hired good basic work experience basic expectations decent benefits ok salary as long as times are good good for a starting gig out of college/university, a nice "real job" to pad your resume with

Cons

boring repetitive work resistant to change nearly to the point of being luddites 30% of your time will be spent working, the other 70% spent meticulously documenting what the task request was and justifying why the requirement were technically fulfilled precisely so as to place as much responsibility as possible on someone else. office politics your direct managers do not have the courage to fire you and so the tough decisions will be deferred to people to whom you are nothing more than a number in a spreadsheet i would not recommend saying at this place for any longer than 3 years

Pros

There are no pros to working here.

Cons

One of the worst company cultures in my 20+ year career history. If you are a 'yes' person who has no opinion and does what you are told, sits at your desk and speaks to no one all day, you might be fine. HR is full of bullies, men and women alike. They get rid of anyone who appears to be a threat to upper management, because they are inferior bullies who can't have any competition making them look bad. Leadership does not exist there, only bad management. And if you speak up and defend yourself, you are systematically harassed until you leave. There is no training and development plan, unless you fight and beg for it. If you're liked by your boss, they may pay for a class or two. The company's stated strategy is to be mediocre at best in pay and benefits. 2017 benefits are being slashed to the point of being so non-competitive and extremely expensive its not worth it. You can do better, anywhere.

Pros

If you're rude and enjoy stepping over others to raise yourself in the company then you'll do well. Some social events.

Cons

Rude people who get away with being rude and getting promoted at the same time. Management will drop you like a rock as soon as your group doesn't perform. Lay offs are common and happen yearly. GIS group thinks they are great but are poorly managed. Horrible RRSP matching.
