Tough job, great room

Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) - Whitehorn - 23 January 2018

311 is front line for all business units within the City of Calgary. Calls range from property tax to sewer backup and bylaw complaints. The calls can be both frustrating and fulfilling. As tough as the job is, the people working there are great and the management allows a lot of flexibility with scheduling and understands how mentally trying it can be sometimes. I appreciate the 4 day work week, the pay and management.

Pros

Great management

Cons

tough calls

Great experience working in the city of calgary in 2 limited term contracts

Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 6 November 2017

On a typical day at work I would answer anywhere between 60-80 calls. I learned how to work with 29 different business units. Management was great with support. Hardest part of the jobs was sometimes having to sent service request to other departments that take time to adhere to. Fulfilling customer requests and being able to help them out.

311 Call Centre

Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 13 January 2017

Work at the call centre can be hectic at times when call volumes are high but the pay is very good for customer service work and the benefits are excellent. The environment is very supportive thanks to management and it is truly like working with a close-knit family. You are left to make your own decisions and you are fully supported in doing that. Unfortunately, I had to move on after a limited term ended so I do wish there was more room for advancement/job security but other than that, I would highly recommend working at The City of Calgary.

Pros

Great management, great benefits, good work environment

Cons

Hectic pace during periods of high call volumes.
