Pros

Good people and okay benefits

Cons

Pay is crap, they demand the union negotiate everything even though the cost of living is through the roof. Management is clueless, they promote from within and 1/5 of them seems to have been promoted using the Peter Principle (google it). They play favourites and use extreme nepotism to staff. When they reroute they ask for feedback to their suggested changes and then just throw it away and do what they want and wonder why nothing is getting done. There is no customer service, ICCC is bull, as CS is the first department to steal staff from and the last to get any support.
