Very intense and rewarding experience
Client Service Officer (Former Employee), Edmonton, AB – January 22, 2013
Pros: excellent co-workers
Cons: when there was a situation that i could not bend the rules to help an individual
Helped provide Employment Insurance information to individuals, in the form of help with their particular claim or in general about the EI policies and regulations.

Was very satisfying when I was able to provide information that a person required and also other information that helped with their decisions or enabled them to fulfil some other need.

Great atmosphere to grow in
Executive Assistant (Former Employee), Charlottetown, PE – October 18, 2012
This job was always challenging - whether with new software, new policies, and new reports. The management was always supportive in trying to encourage the employees to grow in such a way that the skills acquired would be transferable in all aspects of the work environment, either with Service Canada or beyond.

Excellent Experience with Government Policy
Citizen Service Officer (Former Employee), Toronto, ON – August 21, 2012
Pros: training, salary
Cons: stress
The main role I served was as a point of client contact, answering detailed and complex inquiries regarding Employment Insurance and related programs. This required a nine-week course in government legislation and regulation, and as such I gained a great deal of knowledge and experience. The management was professional, and co-workers were a pleasure. – more... The hardest part of the job was of course dealing with irate clients, but this was also conversely the most rewarding aspect, particularly when I was able to solve a problem and help a client during a difficult time. – less

Adjudicating disability files
Registered Nurse Adjudicator, Acting Team Leader (Former Employee), Victoria, BC – July 2, 2012
Pros: working from home
Cons: continuously typing 8 hr. causing physical problems after years of work
CPP was very good at allowing me to work at home and travel into work once a week to download my files.
When I was there there was very little movement for advancement.
I learned all about the disability legislation. Eventually I had to leave due to health problems
My co-workers were good people and helpful.
I would return to work there part-time if – more... there were a position. – less

mass layoffs with complete disregard to customer service
BENEFITS OFFICER (Former Employee), Windsor, ON – March 16, 2012
Cons: layoff despite record high claims.
The job itself is great. Good pay, benefits and work/life balance. What's not great is about the lack of job security. In 2011 alone, over 1000 agents were let go. This is done due to budget cutback by Diane Finley and rest of Tory high commands. Many agents work overtime throughout the year, only to be told their positions weren't necessary and laid – more... off. This agency is currently ran by political zealots and unless you have good connections, right now it's not a good place to work at. The morale is low across the department. – less

Great learning experience
Student Ambassador (Current Employee), Mississauga, ON – February 29, 2012
Working at Service Canada taught me a lot about the services offered by the federal government. It is a great learning experience and teaches students important information about their future. The only downside to the job in general is that the government is looking to do major cuts to the public service and unfortunately, that includes Service Canada. – more... It was a valuable experience for those looking to build on client relations and customer service. – less
