Met alot of very interesting people
Administrative Support (Former Employee), AB – December 10, 2012
Pros: great hours
Cons: some employees had terrible work ethics
I was very busy from the time I arrived until I left for the day.
I learned alot of very interesting things.
Management was great and some of the co-workers were not.
The hardest part of the job was when you had to be in more than one place at the same time, especially when we were transitioning from the old courthouse to the new one.
The most enjoyable – more... part was working at my desk and getting alot accomplished and not having to run all around the courthouse. – less

Productive with great co-workers.
Land Titles Office - Land Titles Senior Analyst (Current Employee), Calgary, Alberta – November 8, 2012
Pros: my co-workers are the best, the benefits and hours are great.
Cons: i have been working for the government for 33 years. a change will be good.
There was a lot of in-house training required for this job. Production is required and you cannot proceed without knowing the applicable statutes and case law. I enjoy my current job but loved working as an Administration Assistant (my job as an Admin. Assistant ended because all administrative duties were moved to Edmonton). The people I work with – more... are great and I never have to take work home with me. – less
