Pros

There are a lot of wonderful people to work with. Most people are friendly with one another and willing to help-out whenever it's needed. Mixed demographics and age groups adding to an inclusive environment. Some opportunities to work from home, helping with the terrible commute in the area. And plenty of parking or alternative transportation methods nearby to get to the office. Conveniently located across from Pearson Airport if you have need to travel abroad and that also means right off major highways. They offer dental and vision benefits. Free soda pop, coffee, tea and juice from machines in the kitchens.

Cons

Salary in the average or slightly lower than average range for the area. Potentially long working hours, odd hours and on-call (including weekends) expectations as part of your base salary. Not much in the way of company funded activities, such as Christmas party etc. Health benefits are good but could be better.

Pros

Lots of technologies to work with and gain experience with. Cisco, HP, NetApp, VMWare to name a few. Very relaxed atmosphere when all is going well or not a lot of workload.

Cons

No training what so ever. Bad professional culture with a "figure it out mentality" when things in IT should be more standardized and stable. Unrealistic expectations from management at times.

Pros

Flexible work hours. No one really keeps track of when you come and go, as long as you get the work done they are relatively satisfied, but rarely will they reward (verbally or financially) for the things you do. In order to get recognized in this company you need to voice what you do or no one will ever notice.

Cons

Management is very poor. They do not care about their employees. This reflects in how the employees treat their customers also. There are no rewards here and the salary/pay is very poor. Tech support/Customer Support agents make as much as their programmers/systems administrators (in that they both make little to nothing). They actually make more when you factor in the amount of overtime put in by the latter.
