Doesn't RecommendNo opinion of CEOI worked at Hydro One full-time for less than a year
Pros
Just to name something in this section; salary.
Cons
Mid-level management is inexperienced and incompetent. If you get stuck reporting into someone of that nature, they can make or break your life. - If you are an entry level/junior employee, do not go in expecting any coaching or mentoring. There is no development plan to give employees to give any kind of career projection or guidance. There are tools in place, but not being utilized or enforced. - I had all the faith...

The resources you hire are incredibly talented and valuable start being more mature and stop backstabbing your new hire in front of other teams to show off your knowledge.

Doesn't RecommendI have been working at Hydro One full-time for more than a year
Pros
good benefits, I have a good direct manager
Cons
salary progression and career progression are hard. neptism is obvious -i.e. external postings going to wives/husbands/nieces etc. OFFICE POLITICS non-flexible work office. I regularly get asked where I was when gone from my assigned seat for more then 40minutes.
Advice to Management
people in positions of authority are not above entry level employees. There is an attitude of say, not helping or checking in at events/meetings and whoever the lowest on the ladder is just gets stuck doing everything with little communication.

RecommendsNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Hydro One full-time for more than 10 years
Pros
Amazing benefits and pension packages. Vacation started at two weeks and increased fairly quickly. Great group of coworkers in multiple departments.
Cons
A lot of change in management. Took a long time to backfill positions, which made it pretty stressful working understaffed.
Advice to Management
Conduct reviews of staff performance more often. Also, ensure that all staff members have balanced work loads.
