This is tough one, but what is, in your opinion, the best employer in Metro Vancouver? Surely I'll be missing some key companies, so feel free to add them to the discussion.

Where's Bodog on that list?? Any company that supplies escorts at the x-party is okay by me.;)

I heard EA actually isnt a great place to work, as they push you too hard and force you to work rediculious hours.

Maybe you could add 1-800-got-junk to the list as that is always voted as one of the top employers in BC. I had 2 friends who worked at their call centre this summer and said it was a great place to work.

the best on the list i think is the federal government, can't beat their job security.
but i would have chosen Vancity if it was on the list. apparently Vancity is one of the best companies to work for in the country.

Oh yes. I meant Metro Vancouver, so Telus would certainly count.

Yep, it's a horrible place to work if you are just starting. In fact, if you ask any student at SFU/UBC that did co-op there, they will tell you themselves.

Well I work for KPMG LLP downtown Vancouver, and I would vote for them but they are not on the list.
