Pros

Great people. Good benefits. Nice office environmental if you are working in the Administrative Centre.

Cons

Unionized environment means there will be times you scratch your head at how some people have the jobs they do. The organization has taken away so many perks that it's now more attractive to work in the private sector). There is a lack of advancement potential within the organization.
