City of Brampton Employee Reviews

I truly enjoyed my time here. When I started, the staff were mostly people around my age - they were all kind and invested in the programs. Toward the end, they started hiring staff that was very young and had very little experience working with people with disabilities, which was demanding for them and made the workload heavier for staff who knew what they were doing. Some staff could get away with doing the bare minimum but those who were there to do good always did. Management was extremely understanding and would work with you. They were definitely invested in running good programs and ensuring fun and safety for everyone.

Great projects but challenging leadership

Senior Advisor (Former Employee) - Brampton, ON - 11 November 2023

Amazing potential for great projects in a very fast growing municipality. The big challenge is trying to get anything done with the constant reorganizations, hiring and firing of leadership staff.

Great place to work

Project Coordinator (Current Employee) - Brampton, ON - 6 November 2023

City of Brampton is a great place to work. The work-life balance is good. Job security is great. You don't need to worry about it as long as you do your work. The problem is with the salary of unionized positions. The salary is not good and 2% increase per year is nothing. The turnover in the City overall is a lot, just because of the salary. People move to the City of Toronto because of higher pay.

Toxic

Coordinator (Former Employee) - Brampton, ON - 3 November 2023

Toxic work environment, corrupt and out of control. Not a positive work environment and a revolving door for upper management if they don't abide by the Mayors orders.

A great place to work

Customer Service Agent (Former Employee) - Brampton, ON - 1 August 2023

Customer service department is pretty competitive but à great way to get your foot in the door for other departments Within the city of Brampton. Within the customer service department, you get opportunities to become full time from part time. You learn all about the different business partners and get trained on different channels including phones, emails and dispatch. Management is pretty good at promoting from within and also good at communicating with its employees. Overall a pretty good place to work because of the opportunities you're presented with.

Pros

Promote from within, endless job opportunities

Cons

Alot of work, spend all day on phones

Challenging

HR Assistant (Former Employee) - Brampton, ON - 6 July 2023

The workload is heavy and the jobs are underpaid. Challenging and stressful environment, lack of perks, and no good insurance coverages when talking about benefits

Great place to begin working

Lifeguard and Swim Instructor (Former Employee) - Brampton, ON - 27 June 2023

You learn many skills other that aquatic safety and first aid, but also gain experience working as a team, customer service, and working with all kinds of people. You also have opportunity to expand to higher roles from a young age, which can be scary, but also gives you further experience for future jobs. Working with the city also creates opportunities to branch out into different recreational programs such as camps, preschool, skate, aquatics, etc.

Okay if you want a secure job

Accounts Payable Clerk (Former Employee) - Brampton, ON - 23 March 2023

Good place to work if you just want a secure job and pension and benefits but as an ap clerk I never had time for lunch/breaks I could take it but I risked not getting my work done... supervisor doesnt know whats going on and listens to team lead who is also clueless about the job or has 20 year old knowledge thats irrelevant...

Pros

Free food, other small benefits for gym memberships etc.

Cons

No breaks most days

Great place to work as a lifeguard/instructor

Lifeguard/Swim Instructor (Current Employee) - Cassie Campbell Community Centre - 14 February 2023

I'd recommend this job to students who want to work during the summer and/or all year round because you can work as little as one 3-hour shift per week or as much as 40+ hours. The environment is very team-oriented, at times there will be 7-8 guards all at once. You will meet lots of good people and make friends. The management is understanding and they run seasonal trainings to keep everyone's lifeguard and instructing skills to their standard.

Pros

Flexible hours

Cons

When teaching for 3 hours straight in the pool, chlorine can make your eyes burn.

Fun and Exciting Worksplace at the Pool

Lifeguard (Former Employee) - Brampton - 13 February 2023

Working as a lifeguard can be a rewarding and challenging experience. You are responsible for the safety of the patrons at the pool or beach, which requires a great deal of attention, focus and quick thinking. You must be able to recognize and respond to emergencies in a calm and efficient manner. Physical fitness is also important as lifeguards are expected to be able to swim and perform rescues if necessary.
