Working at College of the Rockies: Employee Reviews

1.0

Union government job for the average mind

Graphic Design and Marketing Technician (Former Employee) – Cranbrook, BC – 23 July 2015

College of the Rockies is a steady employer for those who wish to follow instructions until they retire. The union hierarchy was unbearable when it came to technology. I revised processes that amounted a savings of over $40,000 per year, this secured my position and ensured no possibility of advancement as they tended to promote those that are incapable of action to management.

All the good managers in marketing left shortly after my departure.

Pros

Job security

Cons

Entrenched union culture

Good place to work for those desiring a regular 8-4 job with benefits. Occasional opportunities to advance career but limited by the union. Mostly computer and admin work for unionized staff.

Pros

Friendly co-workers, College closed during Christmas break

Cons

Too unionized

Good experience

I had a good time working here, even if it wasn't very long term employment. Pretty much my first work experience, and it was a great place to learn and build confidence.
