Pros
Wages, That's it. Nothing else is a "pro".
Cons
No work/life balance. No supervision "vision". Getting cussed out by management daily is a part of corporate culture. Never in my years of experience has another employer used the "F" word in anger at their employees--and been very unresponsive when I protested being treated in such a way.

"Want a work/life balance? Look elsewhere. One of the Worst IT Department I worked for"

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Canadian Pacific Railway full-time for more than a year
Pros
Pay is on a average to better scale, benefits are good, Workplace is in downtown.
Cons
Absolutely No Work/life balance & don't expect its existence in IT. You're expected to be available 24x7 irrespective of your On-Call Status. No Processes exists and Outdated Procedures making it a very unsuitable Workplace for any one with a family. Fear & Intimidation are constantly being used in IT which completely turns down anyone's Morale. If you have a senior set of skills, or value your opinion being heard; stay as far away from here as possible. No Involvement from the Senior Management who are based out of Canada and the front line management continue to use bad culture to get things done and no escalation path exists.
