Pros

Mid size company, good exposure to new CATV technology, Flexible working conditions. Close to GTA, commuting against traffic, close to shopping area and restaurants.

Cons

Most Management positions are being taken over by French Canadians from Montreal, leaving Ontario's English speaking people out at higher positions. It sucks, really. HR has very professional processes, but can't apply them because Montreal (Corporation) controls at the end what the company gives away for training or professional development. All VP's have disappeared, and the Directors will be next. Good luck everybody in there! These guys are very frugal and cheap, no opportunity to excel, just keep mediocrity going...

Pros

First off, the pay is excellent for the job at hand. Traning was for 3 full months, and the trainers were excellent. The discounts can't be beat- FREE SERVICES! From the first couple of days, they try to get you set up with the full cable package, home phone and high speed internet. As long as you remain an employee, you pay nothing per month for al the services. They had lots of promotions and incentives going on all the time, and lots of employee moral boosters, like free cookies and starbucks, or subway subs, ice cream... lots of stuff.

Cons

If hired only part time your benefits don't kick in till 1 year of service, and the rotating shifts can be hard to get used to, but tha being said I found the scheduling rather fair.
