Civil service knows no balance

MANAGER FLEET SERVICES & SAFETY (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 3 August 2022

Municipal government work is demanding involving long hours where if you calculate yhe hours that you work versus your salary, i think its on par with McDonalds.

Pros

Long hours no balance

Usually Understaffed

Rink Guard (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 4 July 2022

Usually understaffed so it was more physically demanding on me. The pay is alright for what I do but the hours could be longer.Decent job if it's your first job and you're looking for work experience!

Easy Job Limited Advancement

Engineer (Current Employee) - Toronto, ON - 4 July 2022

Easy job, lots of people go here to have families and retire. Unfortunately that's not good for anyone looking to advance in their career or life. Don't do it if you aren't ready to give up.

Fun workplace, great staff, upper Management some not so nice.

Centre Supervisor (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 11 June 2022

For a long term career this is an excellent place to work, there are many avenues for advancement and great benefits. There are a lot of policies to follow but this is the job, I have had experiences with some difficult management styles, but if this is your career path you will survive the reward.

Fast paced and competitive.

Personal Support Worker (Current Employee) - Scarborough, ON - 8 June 2022

If you love a fast paced environment and hard work with lots of overtime and great benefits this is the place for you. Work culture is pretty good but depends on nurse and floor you work on. Although stressful job at times a simple smile or thank you from one of your residents makes you want to continue to go over and beyond for all the residents. Also very accommodating and supportive if you're going back to school. Overall a great place to work.

I was a contract employee

Facility Operator (Former Employee) - Etobicoke, ON - 3 June 2022

I was terminated before I got into the union. I hurt my neck at work, and called my manager to tell him. My manager said that I never called him. I guess it's a good place for some people but it seemed like they were out to get me. I found it a poisonous atmosphere.

Enjoyable work environment with good coworkers

Swim Instructor (Former Employee) - North York, ON - 26 May 2022

If you love kids and have good coworkers and a good supervisor, your swim instructor shift at work will be very enjoyable. Otherwise, I would opt to pick up Lifeguarding shifts only.

Great to get experience

After school site Coordinator (Current Employee) - Toronto, ON - 25 May 2022

Over was a good place to work. Staff and CRPS worked as a team to ensure the sites were good. Working with the children was always something to look forward to. They would be excited to come to the after school program!

Mixed Bag

Gardener (Current Employee) - Toronto, ON - 25 May 2022

Definitely a chill work environment.Pay is good, but you only work 6 months of the year or so, and they have failed to raise wages in a way that reflects inflation.If you can handle working outdoors in the heat you'll enjoy it.Good hard work is not rewarded, the only thing that matters to the city is how many years you've been there.

High-school drama

Waterfront Lifeguard (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 27 April 2022

I worked as a waterfront lifeguard at the bluffs, it's one of the most intense beaches which would need one of the most supportive non drama and that was not the case, supervisors were immature, poor communication made the job dangerous, I ended up in the hospital due to intense training, bad communication and anxiety. Did not feel safe, you felt guilty for recovering from wounds. Most of the staff in other beaches were injured and still working. Quitting was almost to impossible. I just walked away and never came back.

Pros

Nice thunder storm view at the bluffs, Will definitely face a lot of situations, You will get super fit

Cons

As suggested by management, blow whistle incase you get kidnapped or stabbed or whatever

Easy money

Solid Waste Collection Operator (Current Employee) - Toronto, ON - 19 April 2022

Its hard work but you get to go home at a decent time every day and its 4 days a week. Had a lot of home time, felt like I was working a part time job and still got huge paychecks every pay. The supervisors dont bug you and leave you alone. No micro managing at all from my experience. The job is physically hard but its simple.
