Pros
Pay and benefits (outside of Victoria) are better than private sector
Cons
Workload is brutal Number of people taking stress leaves is astronomical Company talks the talk with assistance programs but doesn't even crawl the walk; they just don't care Jobs are silo'd and the skills you bring to the organization will atrophy with lack of use Bureaucracy is everywhere. If you have a good idea, keep it to yourself or you will be disappointed Company knows it is the only large employer on much of the island and there are always desperate people knocking at the door, so they suck the life out of the existing staff, knowing they can be easily replaced Every person I have met who has worked here more than a few years, hates coming to work Although unionized, the union is weak and the company for years has been undermining by making most new jobs contract or non-union. Don't expect any help.
