Environnement productif

Animatrice, chargée de projet et recherchiste (Former Employee) – Saint-Jérôme, QC – 23 July 2017

En tant que recherchiste, animatrice et chargée de projets d'émissions spéciales c'est un métier sur lequel il ne faut pas compter ses heures. Toujours être à l'affût des nouvelles informations culturelles, politique, sportives, générales. Gérer les informations et préparer un plan de diffusion au quotidien avec une équipe formidable. Quel agréable tâche !

Productive and friendly workplace

Call Centre Representative (Former Employee) – Barrie, ON – 2 March 2017

Most days were the same, occasionally you'd get a long, or difficult call. I learned a lot about how those types of services work and how to go about calling into service company s, also i learned how to talk on the phone as I used to dislike phone calls. The hardest part of the job was getting a call about something you've never done before and having to get help or figure it out without the customer becoming irate. the most enjoyable part was probably the people, between nice customers you meet over the phone and the people you worked with it was normally a very pleasant environment.

Fun workplace, very exciting and up-beat

Camera Operator (Former Employee) – Brockville, ON – 11 February 2016

I enjoyed working as a camera operator for cogeco because it was fast paced and exciting. I learned alot about cameras, hockey and broadcasting. It was difficult sometimes to keep up with the game play but exciting and entertaining. With my everyday co-workers I was friends with, occasionally for bigger games Cogeco would send more experienced employees to help, those were the rude and disrespectful people. Still, I enjoyed working with them and learning about all the equipment they would bring.

Pros

It gave me a great experience and I loved my working environment, aside form the other employees

Cons

Most employees that I worked with were rude and dusrespectful

Terrible!

Collector (Former Employee) – Burloak – 9 January 2015

Management in the collections dept is terrible. A lot of favouritism. Particular supervisors will make it their life mission to find something wrong with you. Your expected to have everything noted up in a minute after your call is done. It use to be 2 minutes. Very stressful environment. No job security. Bonuses ares basically the only plus.

Pros

Bonuses and other co-workers

Cons

Managers and very stressful environment
