Typical Government Job

Senior Business Analyst (Current Employee) – Burnaby, BC – 14 September 2015

Typical Government Job.
Most people have been here 20+ years and have no desire to improve or change.
Pay is good and great job security if you can handle all the red tape.

Toxic work environment

Safety advisor (Former Employee) – Burnaby, BC – 1 August 2018

There is no work/life balance, the shift options are 10hrs + for everyone. The management is mad with power, and HR lets them run the show. No job security. They find good people and tear them down for their own amusement. The work was good but the management was horrible. Don't work here if you can help it.

Pros

free transit pass while employed

Cons

everything else

Best Job Ever

Vehicle Technician (Current Employee) – Burnaby, BC – 2 February 2018

By far the best job anybody could ever wish for. Been with the company for two years and have never experienced a more supportive team like environment. Nobody is going to fire you like a dealership job for having cancer or getting hurt on the job.
Never looked back.

Pros

People.

Cons

None

Satisfying Challenge

Safety (Current Employee) – Burnaby, BC – 6 December 2017

Its a place that is in the process of changing it's culture. There's a lot of ground breaking work to do and has the support of Management. It's a good place for someone who wants to make a difference.

Pros

salary, benefits, opportunity

horrible place

Guideway (Former Employee) – New Westminster, BC – 3 October 2017

I worked Night shift in guideway and it has been the worst experience ever. Most of the senior workers feel entitled and show superiority to the new employees. The bullying is constant and if you stand up for yourself they will run to the supervision and cry. I have never worked in a company where so called men behave like little gossiping girls. There are a couple of good people in the company but do yourself a favor and do not work for Guideway.

Pros

Pension is decent

Cons

Coworkers

Poor safety culture and poor employee support

Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) – BCRTC – 26 August 2017

Company's safety department is not concerned with employee safety and staff are not supported by the HR department. The morale is low and workers (not unionized) feel stressed and insecure everyday due to the parent company's mandate of being clueless and uncaring. They've taken a company that used to work well and populated it with incompetent management. The pay is below industry standard now, with the poor management and poor morale there is no incentive to work for there.

Pros

None

Cons

All

Very poorly managed not worker focused

Safety Advisor (Former Employee) – Burnaby, BC – 27 April 2017

This is by far the worst company to work for within the Crown Corporations bundle. They do not care about their employees and bullying is encouraged and supported. The Human Resources department does not follow up or conduct an investigation, instead they side with the Manager and dismiss the employee.

Pros

Benefits

Cons

Managment and Human Resources

Job culture fun and committed

Relief Control Supervisor (Current Employee) – Burnaby, BC – 2 July 2015

Pros

Exciting, workplace

Cons

Live on Vancouver Island now and want to work here

Pros

long term

Cons

little responsibility
