Very inefficient/ tax dollars wasted/ unhealthy
Auto Mechanic (Former Employee) - Saskatoon, SK - 8 March 2022
Worked with a group of mechanics - parks branch, became very unhealthy for my health to have to try to waste time all day as requested by Manager and supervisor, Drive around and waste tax dollars was the goal there, I would rather have kept busy in the shop and been productive, but wasn’t an option because they’d make your life difficult. Safety was a issue with unauthorized staff coming in work place area (Shop) all the time Union and HR basically are one together. Hiring friends that have no experience or ambition to work than sublet work out to other vendors, over other applicants that would have experience. Was so unhealthy I quit along with other good mechanics in the past
Pros
Gaining experience / knowledge from other Departments Employees
Cons
Unhealthy for wanting to be productive

Relaxed outdoor work with a team environment
Parks Labourer (Former Employee) - Saskatoon, SK - 24 January 2022
I enjoyed my work as a seasonal labourer. Although the job can be physically demanding, you get to be outside all day in the summer and can take pride in maintaining our city's wonderful parks. Management can be hard to deal with, and the culture can be clique-y, but overall it's a fun place to work. Beware that as a seasonal employee, you don't qualify for benefits. I worked for them for 6 years and never qualified because I didn't have enough CONSECUTIVE hours.
Pros
every third Friday off (EDO), outdoors
Cons
no benefits

High stress, toxic management
Operator (transit) (Current Employee) - Saskatoon, SK - 29 August 2021
Job itself can be very stressful. Management add a lot of unnecessary stress. Great group of co workers. Lots of split shifts, very difficult to get weekends off. Holidays are based on seniority making it difficult to get desirable time off. (Winter and summer holidays)
Pros
Great benefits
Cons
Stress, split shifts, hard to get time off, management.

Recruitment process dragged on and on
Engineer applicant (Former Employee) - Saskatoon - 26 October 2020
I applied for the same engineering position twice at the City. For the first time I applied, the interview was more than a month after the posting closed. Then it took a month after the interview in order to get a firm answer on the outcome. Very painful. For the second time I applied, it took them 3 months to try to decide what to do with recruiting the position, and they ultimately cancelled the process. Pretty lame, and real lack of communication from a large organization.

Micromanaged through the roof
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) - Saskatoon, SK - 12 May 2020
Manager doesnt know what they are doing, director makes comments that are untruthful, showed true colors during covid. This place is very micromanaged not allowed to have a thought of your own and, the trainer has been there since highschool and if you bring up some ideas to implement during training they get defensive. Most people stay there for the money because they are stuck st this point. Managment in the last 5 years is the worst!
