City of Calgary Employee Review
No work family life balance as advertised, top heavy with management.
Utility Worker (Current Employee) - Calgary, AB - 11 May 2023
I thought I won the lottery at first with this job, but then the changes started. Schedules and shifts all changed without consultation of staff. If you have a family, especially with children involved in extra curricular activities then you can expect to miss a large amount of those. 12 hour shifts across the board do not work for everyone, even the older workers that have trouble lasting that long each day. Past experience is not recognized like it should be, and positive reinforcement for a job well done is never given. They hire new Canadians with zero experience that have 1 course and make them full time and promote them first before experienced employees to remain politically correct with inclusivity, even with some being not physically able to do the job.
Pros
Holidays
Cons
Long hours, lack of respect, corporate bullying
