Working at Calgary Parking Authority: Employee Reviews

Fun Workplace but with Cultural Problems

Financial Department Summer Student (Former Employee) – Calgary, AB – 15 May 2018

Great opportunity and tons of work to do, but the culture of the company makes it hard to work at highest level. There is lots of rumors, inter and intra departmental clashes, and as a summer student I just felt like I couldn't trust most people.

Pros

Employee Benifits

Cons

Toxic Workplace Culture

Massive restructuring

Bylaw Officer (Current Employee) – Calgary, AB – 17 May 2018

Calgary parking authority is going through a massive restructuring that includes the firing of the majority of management and Senior staff. Staff work on a day-to-day basis wondering if or when their jobs will be in jeopardy. For a company that claims a direct link to working with the City of Calgary this is one of the more poorly run companies within the City of Calgary portfolio

Secure work place but no room for advancement

Bylaw officer, ParkPlus Photo Processor (Former Employee) – Calgary, AB – 21 November 2017

The work culture is not bad. If you keep your head down and just do the job they ask you then all is good. They do not want more or less in this company and there is no room for advancement. Everybody has a job to do, do not step outside that job. It is pleasant enough but no challenges.

Pros

descent benefits

Cons

very boring work

Culture changes regularly

Clerk and CSR (Former Employee) – Calgary, AB – 11 September 2017

A very challenging place to be employed. Management and workplace culture extremely difficult to maintain an understanding of (it seems to change on a whim with no thought to all the consequences). Layoffs, downsizing subject to the economy.

Pros

remuneration

Cons

stress and confusion
