Don't Waste your time...

CDSP (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 11 September 2023

Where to start...This place was very promising, when you first start, staff and upper management make you feel welcomed and heard. However this doesn't last long. They change your job description constantly and then gaslight you into thinking it was always this way and make you think you can't handle change. If you bring up concerns your TL's and Coordinator take it personally and reprimand you for it, so it is best to keep your mouth shut and your thoughts to yourself. However they will have meetings twice a year to discuss all the things going wrong and how to change without actually changing anything just to make themselves feel accomplished in something.Every department has their own clique here. Coordinators and certain TL's will talk about their staff behind their backs, and even go as far as to call their staff "degenerates" and laugh about it. One Coordinator will go as far as to steal your ideas and present them as their own because they don't know how to do their own job without you. Another Coordinator will force their religion upon you in their office if you are having a tough day by praying over you without your consent. New staff are hired based off of who they know, and not their skillset.You can have any education in the field, no one will allow you to show your skills at work, you are stuck within the limits of the title you have and if you step out of it you are made to feel like you have done something wrong, even if your skill benefits the company. Unless it makes your TL & Coordinator look good. There are never opportunities to grow. Workplace culture -

Current Employee (Current Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 9 June 2023

Since the CEO took on the position, the environment has been filled with positivity and encouragement. The atmosphere is very welcoming and I come to work everyday feeling privileged to be apart of the team led by great management. We are always having lots of fun. There is always something cool happening.The CEO along with the management are very inclusive and are there for support when we need it. They actually advocated for the staff to get a pay raise from the government and we ended up getting 10% increase. Also, we fortunately are able to get a bonus every year since our CEO took on the role. Overall, Chrysalis is a great place to work, it is a fun place to be with great co-workers and management. Sometimes it doesn't even feel like work because of all the fun things we are having. The job can be hard but rewarding, but we always have support. I really love working here.

Stressful

CSW (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 3 May 2023

Team leader and manager have little interest in their team, they are more concerned with the results that make them seem successful.Direction given is all over the map and when questioned you are made to feel like an insignificant burden

Cons

Management at all levels

A place where you feel you are doing something positive through helping others. Everyone are friendly, no politics that I know of. Honest people who come to work to provide a great service to others less fortunate.

Work was fine. Not a lot of chance for advancement. Worked in the woods department building pallets. Manager was very nice. Overall the crew was fun to work with.

Thank you for the feedback, Production Worker. Our operations are small and we have a lot of long term employees, unfortunately it does not create many opportunities for advancement. Glad you like working with your crew!
