Good Salary, Benefits and Training But Management Not Very Responsive to Employees
Project Engineer (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 25 October 2022
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedEPCOR is a decent place to work with good salaries, benefits and training opportunities. The work was interesting and rewarding. Lots of rigid policies and procedures, frequent reporting. They have a very hierarchical management structure and do not solicit much employee input. They just implement things from the top down. Safety is important, but so many policies are being driven by over the top excessive "safety" requirements.
Pros
Good salary and benefits
Cons
Rigid policies with little employee input

not a bad company to work for if you are interested in water treatment
intern (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 5 August 2022
I worked at the plant, and it involved repetitive laboratory tests. Since it is a water treatment plant for the city, there is not much dynamics. Regular routine work is done most of the time. Everyone is generally very friendly and willing to help.
Pros
high pay
Cons
repetitive work

Would definitely recommend
Analyst (Current Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 16 February 2022
My typical day at work starts with morning stretches, start of day maintenance tasks, projects, mid-day maintenance tasks. Sometimes, there are meetings and trainings within the week. Management is flexible and considerate of personal life. Workplace culture is collaborative, safety-focused and an emphasis on employee health (in all aspects)
Pros
High-salary compared to competition due to union, flex-based benefits allows customization based on personal needs, wellness account, personal development account (formal courses paid by EPCOR), donation to charity of choice if volunteering more than 30 hours, morning stretches, free parking, delicious coffee and tea choices, gym and shower on site, work-life balance
Cons
Job tenure happens after 10 years

Absolutely brutal management
IT Analyst (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 30 December 2021
This company has terrible management. The ethics guidelines are not adhered to, lying is acceptable behaviour, and compensation and advancement is based on favouritism, not competency. This is the worse company I ever worked for.
Pros
None come to mind
Cons
Overpaid management with poor ethics, The corporate executives are oblivious about what is going on downstairs, It is a very unhappy and threatening atmosphere.

Nice place to work. Good pay.
Utility Worker (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 5 April 2021
Great benefits, good people to work with. However the union structure protects lazy coworkers in many departments. Management couldn't manage their way out of a cardboard box constantly changing crew structures in an attempt to streamline what, I do not know. The best equipment and tools and great home work life balance. I'd go back and work there if I could.
Pros
Equipment, fair pay, union, worklife balance.
Cons
Poor performance by many, union, seniority system, they do not fight to keep good people.

great management but less full time opportunity
Customer Service Representative (Current Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 30 April 2020
i'm only working part-time (20-29hours/week) and they currently don't have many opportunity for full time. I really love the job and management and my colleagues..i just wish they'd offer more full time opportunity.

Jobs at EPCOR
Mgrs & foreman -just not right fit!
Product Sales Manager (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 20 January 2020
I was there 2000 & the foreman were useless! I was in sales would send emails & they wouldn't reply. Even some mgrs. were over there head in their job position-didn't deserve the title was just given it. Apparently some foreman & mgrs today In 2019 are still useless! The union culture for some is a poison & some love that type of culture. Really good benefits, once your in your in even if not a good worker.

Treated me well
Administrative Assistant (Former Employee) - Sooke, BC - 21 August 2019
EPCOR provided everything that I could want or need. If you work diligently, independently, are safety focused, provide an honest effort, and progress with the company they do pay well, provide awesome benefits, and educational opportunities.
Pros
Wellness Benefits, flexible for time off

I would recommend not to apply for a job there
Labourer 2 (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 8 August 2019
Management is terrible but the employees are great. They will pick the lazy workers over the workers who show up and do their jobs. If you are a person who sucks up you will have job. It doesn't go by how good of worker you are and show up on time. It's like daytime soap opera there all the time also. Benefits and pay is good.
Pros
good pay good benefits
Cons
Management is terrible

Work Life Balance

Very demanding/lean organization. Work life balance is difficult to achieve in a management position. In many cases, in-scope employees are paid higher than out of scope employees.
Pros
Great Benefits
Cons
Long hours, stressful, demanding workload

The job was mostly being automated
Meter Installer 1 (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 21 November 2018
There was typical politics. Very little support from the foreman. As a temp there is no benefits. Becoming permanent can take years so you could end up with zero benefits and pay increases for a very long time.
