Pros
Great people and managers ( depending on dept) to work from great starting salary and benefits
Cons
Lots of office politics and high employee turnover can make one very uneasy to feel comfortable or supported in your role.

I worked at Toronto Hydro for less than a year
Pros
Your safety is taken seriously, you will have a comfortable and ergonomically designed workstation. The pay was solid for a student job.

Pros
Engaging tasks that give a snapshot into what the other parts of the company do and how they work. Friendly management staff and co-workers
Cons
Often not enough work, results in sitting at desk doing nothing. Every task is covered in red tape and has to be approved by so many people before work can continue
