Pros

Lots of time on your hands to do training.

Cons

For the same reason as above, you don't learn much. Certain people in I.T. nitpick about little things and are difficult to work with. Management plays too much politics and do not accept fault, if it lies with them. Uses employees as scapegoats. You are disposable scum if you are a contractor. Employees are infallible!

Corporate services is a bottleneck. Comms, Finance, Grants Admin, Legal, are all super busy, and very bureaucratic in their processes.

Pros

Great benefits, including a defined benefit pension plan; focus on work-life balance; non-management employees are genuinely helpful.

Cons

And you'd think with the name of the company the organization would be innovative in their management style and approach? Au contraire! Very bureaucratic and lots of backroom discussions happening at the top, especially between the CEO and HR.
