Typical big business culture.
Ham Municipal Prkg System-Admin Secretary (Current Employee), Hamilton, ON – April 26, 2013
The business hours are 8:30am to 4:30pm unless you are an outside worker which will at times take you to a 3 shift schedule. I have learned so much about the culture in the years I have spent. I have met many good people. Most importantly I have learned that professionalism is key.

Pre-natal Intake Secretary (Former Employee), Dundas, Ontario – January 2, 2013
- Busy switchboard consisting of pregnant women wanting to book pre-natal classes, wonderful opportunity to connect with women at this most exciting time in their lives.
- Working with a group of medical professionals was very new - enjoyed supporting a team and experiencing the very different needs of a Public Health Services department as opposed – more... to a professional office environment.
- Co-workers were so helpful in learning the ropes - really engage you to part of the team – less

A great way to earn money at a young age
Coach children (Former Employee), Hamilton, ON – September 11, 2012
Pros: working with children
Cons: limited hours
Typical day at work would be greeting kids, teach the class then continue teaching classes and either go home or guard the pool after lessons. I learned time managment skills, social skills, teaching skills and learned to be more confident. My co-workers were all really nice people all willing to answer any of my questions and always had eachothers – more... backs. The hardest part of the job was the report cards. Going home and finishing everyone of those report cards on time, putting the right stickers with the right badge on the right report card for the right student. The most enjoyable part of the job was watching the kids have fun in my classes and helping them succeed. – less

Typical working day
Operations Technologist (Former Employee), Hamilton, ON – May 1, 2012
Pros: feeling of completing a project successfuly
Cons: not enough energy during the hours of operation
Interacting with co-workers and properly communicating with them is a crucial part of everyday basis especially when you have more than 4 people working on the same project.

I'm eager to learn, even if that's coming to work and instead of making it "typical" i will further my knowledge by asking more questions and enhancing my abilities to do a specific – more... job. – less
