Completely overworked for pay
Distribution of workload is completely uneven (ALWAYS AIM TO WORK FOR VPN/SEC TEAM if in Ottawa, you will do 1/3 the work for the same salary as HE/MGMT for same pay)
Management "fixes" problems brought to them for about a week, at which point things will return to "normal"
Never aim to work mornings - you will be overloaded without fail (12:30pm shift also gets 10% premium - aim for this [most pay for "days" with smallest workload])
