Pros

Competitive salary, good working hours, good benefits.

Cons

Unpleasant working environment due to a small number of bullying individuals in some departments. Management admitted to knowing about these individuals but did not take steps to improve the situation. I worked there for many years and observed the same individuals picking out new "victims" over time for behaviours such as rumour spreading, rudeness, ostracization, etc. Little tolerance within the company also for family situations such as illness that might impact work.

Pros

* reasonable pay * good hours * easy work conditions * fairly tolerant of personal needs * comfortable building, reasonably good work environment * employer understands need for and provides break times

Cons

* management has zero concept of the word "plan" * everything is run pretty much in a knee-jerk reaction type of way * management doesn't know how to prioritize (i.e. you get assigned ten "top priority" items)

Pros

easy job, lots of holidays

Cons

I worked in IT and it was a total mistake, the CIO should be fired. I didn't know I was replacing someone who just got fired because he challenged him, he later sued them for wrongful dismissal and the company settled fast. I was also fired for no good reason, as was the next guy after me. The owners are doctors and they think they are god; the place is no good for anyone in IT, and the pay is low. The environment is fear and blame, with lots of office politics. Its usually places like this that get their name on the BC top 50 employer list. Be warned.
