Worst job ever
Finance (Current Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 1 December 2018
Sleazy self absorbed management. Lots of backstabbing going on. Staff are always under the threat of termination. Team spirit is threatened not embraced.
Pros
None come to mind
Cons
Management
Terrible company
Systems Analyst/Programmer (Former Employee) – Edmonton – 12 September 2018
Worst management I’ve ever experienced. Human Resources will crucify union people for speaking up. I can’t say enough about this nasty place to properly communicate how poorly run certain areas of this company are handled.
Pros
They provide water and rkectricity
Cons
Management and Human Resources
Great benefits and salary, however management is a drawback
Financial Analyst (Former Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 7 January 2018
Overall the workplace is great and you learn a lot starting out. However, depending on which area you work, management may not be the best for your personal and career development.
Productive job
IT System Analyst and Production Support (Current Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 1 September 2017
Its a great company with good work culture. Most of the positions are union positions and graded annually. I am learning lots of application integrations with Oracle and SQL server.
Clock watching Negative Company
Labourer (Current Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 23 August 2017
This company focuses only on negative aspects. Never any positive recognition or feedback. If you want a place where you feel like your back in high school, then this is it. Bullying happening all around you. No matter how hard you work you can't get past the favourites in the company regardless if you have more seniority or work your butt off Would not recommend this company if my life depended upon it.
Pros
Good benefits
Cons
Very negative Atmosphere
Great company, government environment

Pros
Great work/life balance
Cons
Union salaries for non-management positions

Overall Good Employer
Lab Analyst (Former Employee) – Regina, SK – 5 June 2017
My immediate supervisor was a bully. But the middle managment was okay. Work life balance is okay as well as the salary. The benefits were THE BEST I have EVER seen. Benefits made the job okay.
Pros
Benefits
Cons
Slow reaction to bullying complaints
Great stable company that provides great benefits, opportunities for growth and advancement, and pays great
Wastewater treatment operator (Former Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 10 March 2016
Best job I ever had. The people are great, the company is great, lots of perks to the job, and your always learning. The company supports personal growth and development and provides all the resources needed to obtain the needed tickets and training for the job, as well as gives every employee an allowance for after hours education. As an operator, I would recommend this company, and say that an operator position here is the cat's a** it's the real macoy. I could go on for a lot longer about the work, the management, the company's growth projects and plans, the opportunities for growth, the opportunities for advancement, the competitive pay scale, but I'll leave that to you to find out for yourself when you have an interview.
Pros
Everything
Cons
They aren't in eastern Canada- yet. But they will be
Great company to work for

None
productive, fun and encouraging place to work
Customer Service Rep III (Former Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 17 August 2012
Through this position I had the opportunity to gain self esteem, learn confidence, and also how to balance the home and work life.

some positions became very routine... but i guess why fix something if it isn't broken.
