Form Setter in Burnaby, BC

Typical Union Environment
Work isn't too hard, management is questionable at times and workplace politics are rampant. Best to keep to yourself and don't exceed expectations lest you earn the scorn of your peers.
Assistant Program Leader (Auxiliary) in Burnaby, BC

Disappointment
Never felt appreciated and often was spoken to in a rude tone by higher authority. They are disrespectful and only care about themselves or their fellow higher ups who they want to impress. Was accused of multiple things and when I proved them wrong, there was no apology or acknowledgment, I was just ignored. Terrible work place. Especially the Parks and Recreation aspect.

Disorganized Management
Terrible employer, backstabbing central, don’t appreciate their employees, Management has no idea on what they are doing, if was a private company they would be bankrupt! Waste of taxpayer dollars every day! Don’t waste your time with this nonsense.

Only go for experience, then get out
Get your experience and get out as soon as you can find employment somewhere else. Awful workplace environment rampant with bullying. Supervisors and management encourage employees to complain about each other and create hostility.
