No flexibility

Assistant Property Manager (Current Employee) - Victoria, BC - 12 February 2023

Management was terrible, no room to grow unless you have been there forever. no flexibility at all, have to make up all time off, or must use vacation. If you have a doctors appointment they don’t care, not allowed to work from home, no flex days. Alright pay if you are willing to be treated like garbage. Good luck finding parking for under 250$ a month.

Pros

Some people are nice

Cons

Management and flexibilty

Complicated

Fleet Coordinator (Current Employee) - Victoria, BC - 26 August 2017

CRD is a government body and I found it frustrating try to move issues forward. The culture has been a very negative experience for me. I have only experienced poor management without the help of Human Resources department .
