Pros

- Good benefits - Relaxed environment - All state holidays off - Adequate parking - Secure environment - 37.5 hour work week - No mandatory overtime

Cons

- Compensation is insulting - Lack of focus is ridiculous - Allowance of incompetent employees to continue to work at a level lower than competent staff simply because of the civil versus executive divide is ludicrous, If an employee does not perform, there should be consequences...not a reduction in their work load. That's encouraging their laziness. - Civil service employees truly are Lazy and milk the system because they can get away with it. - Problems with contractors are never resolved even though contractors are bound to comply via their contract - Politics dictate all activities from business relationships down to team-building activities.
