Its a government job, the pay is great, the job is easy and the people are fun. Management is helpful and has an open door policy. There is plenty of room for upward movement and an always challenging work atmosphere. The down side is the Governement does not hire you directly but through 3rd party consulting firms which means they can let you go for sneezing funny. Its difficult to become and actual government employee and your contract expires every 6 to 18 months.

I have been working at MGS for 4 months as an IT Support Officer and the experience has been great. On a typical work day I usually handle user computer issues and assist in troubleshooting and resolving the issue. Not a single day is repetitive working at MGS because of the exposure to different issues and problems that I come across. I have learned alot about computer troubleshooting while improving my communication and customer service skills. In all it's a great job/ environment to work.

my typical day at work, being greeted good morning by all, the smiles of your family away from home.
I learned that managers can make you and break you all in the same day.
my co-workers, friends, love ones, shoulders to lean on, family.
the hardest part of my job, getting to know the name of the current manager
my co-workers, pot-luck days, lunch-room, summer going for walks

I worked there as a consultant but have noticed that:
1. FTE and consultants are not always treated the same way
2. There are lots of opportunities to learn and improve knowledge -if one is FTE
3. It looked to me that it would be hard to advance within the same organization
4. as an Organization, it is on a slower side when adopting new technologies

Overall, people are great and the atmosphere is positive.

I really enjoyed working in the Ontario Public Service (I was a summer student employee). I was in IT, and so I got to assist government employees from various departments and learn a bit about each. They had many events and charities to get involved in. I think that's the part I enjoyed most other than learning from management about the centralization of various departments in the OPS.

Management was/is absolutely incompetent and petty. Most employees were kept on temporary contracts and made to jump through hoops and beg for their jobs as if the organization was the little fiefdom of the manager and not a large, public sector, organization.

This client has very large number of networks, systems spread across Ontario in multiple data centers, this client also built a Tier-4 data center with most advanced networking gear to cater the most advanced server hardware available in the market today. Clearly a technology focused organization.

Dealing w/ hardware issues in a 400+ server environment, infacing with Build & integration, facilities, clients having servers in data center, inventory mgnt, working with external hardware vendors IBM DELL SUN CISCO
