Vantaggi

-CEO Duncan Hawthorne is excellent -Very strong focus on safety culture, important for the nuclear power industry -Great pay, good benefits package (if full time) -Best place to work in Bruce County, can be a job for life -Early retirement with full pension (some people retire as early as age 50!) -Contractors haven, lots of great opportunities there to work on big projects -Bruce County area is gorgeous cottage country in the summer

Svantaggi

-Location, Tiverton Ontario which is a three hour drive from Toronto while it's fantastic in the summer the winters there are brutal, especially the driving conditions, it's very common to land your car in a ditch -Very political atmosphere -Union culture is sometimes job protectionist -If you're not from Bruce County it may a while for co-workers to warm up to you -It takes a long time to get projects done, lots and lots of process and procedures, everything moves at a snails pace...however not all of this fault lies with the company, the nuclear industry regulations slow things down as well which is beyond Bruce Power's control -Very slow hiring process and aging work force

Vantaggi

I am a professional engineer of a certain age who was frankly fed up with dysfunctional and toxic workplaces. I had turned down several other lucrative offers on that basis before BP came calling, but I was pleasantly surprised by what I found here. There has clearly been a lot of thought put into their organizational principles and practices, which help workers to produce their best. This extends to the physical comfort of the workspace, which is important for me. In summary, a very progressive management philosophy. The approach to safety is comprehensive. They support your specific training needs, in fact they insist on it!

Svantaggi

None really. Some other reviewers here gripe about the weather (it's Canada) and the distance from Toronto (aka the centre of the universe). Probably The same ones who didn't want a nuclear PP built downtown I guess.
