Pros

Great Pay Decent Location, still cheap to buy as long as you stay out of Port Elgin. Despite what others may say, management is pretty good. MCR in particular has a great team.

Cons

There are 4 classes of employees. A, B, C, and D. Class D are the folks who work for a vendor and they are treated like drones and paid poorly. Class C are direct contractors who have all the responsibilities of full time employees but no benefits (but are paid pretty well). Class B are the full time employees on MCR or other projects who actually make the plant run. They are paid well, but have to work hard and long. Class A are the do nothing folks who get paid full time but work maybe 25 hours a week (this is most everyone at B10 and full time trades at Bruce B and A). This system is not very fair for obvious reasons. It will take you 5-10 years to get from class D to class A. It may be worth it in the end but you will not feel respected through the process.

Pros

Pension, benefits, job security. Good pay for an engineering job when compared to the real world but pathetic pay when compared to what other people make there having far less responsibility.

Cons

No one makes decisions, responsibility without the authority to make change, disgruntled union work force, over proceduralized to ensue safe operation however no work can get accomplished therefore actually making the operating plant less safe (isn't that ironic), finger pointing blame game trying to target one person when no task ever takes one person to complete. No way the current operating model can continue to support the work force long term. Extremely slow to get anything accomplished.

Pros

Make you feel you are already hired. Excellent Sugar coating and projection of their culture. Basically, Great sales people story tellers occupying technical and senior leadership positions.

Cons

HR third party Sierra Systems recruiters are merely wasting candidates time. As if they are capturing resumes data. No one knows what they will do with our Data and information. Hiring managers at Bruce Power seems literally have nothing to do but probably somehow trying to convince them self or upper management that they are doing something by wasting candidates time over phone and not hiring anyone.
