Life as a casual

Good experience

Cons

Lack of benefits or permanence

Salary is very poor especially for Management Non-union. Everything moves super slow. Things take forever to happen.

Compensation and Classification Consultant (Current Employee) - Fredericton, NB - 19 December 2022

Salary is very poor especially for Management Non-union. Everything moves super slow. Things take forever to happen. Lot of things depend on what's the focus of government than what is important.

Pros

People in general are nice and want to help

Cons

limited growth

NB Dept. of Transportation and Infrastructure 👍

Enjoyable group of people to work with

Administrative Assistant - Department of Environment and Local Government (Former Employee) - Fredericton, NB - 24 February 2020

This position was enjoyable and I met a lot of lovely people as would be expected as the receptionist, everyone that came to the office was greeted by me. Greeting people was the most enjoyable part of the job. I didn't find any part of this job particularly hard. Typical day at work, set up, check the general email box, incoming and outgoing physical mail, call for courier service as required, check voicemail and relay messages to correct departments, or call the person who left the message for clarification which was often required.

I'd definitely work there again if I could

Computer Technician (Former Employee) - Miramichi, NB - 5 January 2020

Due to my internship ending, I could no longer work at the Payroll Centre I was at. However, everyone was so enjoyable to be around and they really felt like my people and were all really relaxed and chill. I hope one day I can work there again.

Good work experience with heavy involvement for first-timers

Economic Development Officer (Current Employee) - Fredericton, NB - 4 July 2019

Government is as large of an organization as they come, GNB is a great place for young professionals. If you are lucky you will get a relative degree of autonomy and be able to work on projects rather than service delivery.

Government Review

Financial Analyst (Former Employee) - Fredericton, NB - 12 December 2016

I worked for the government and it was a good experience, my co-workers were nice to me. I brought my accounting experience that was appreciated. Also, They gave me a training on how to handle and process difficult files like those about taxation and bankruptcy. the most enjoyable work I had is when I was called to create a file which shows SNB monthly revenues, in detail of whole sellers for tobacco, alcohol and fines given by the police to drivers for misconduct. I will love to work again for the government because I have more experience since. Many thanks, Bruno.

Pros

Like working over time hours

Cons

I am a perfectioniste by nature, and lean to recognized when the job is accomplished

Productive work place

Janitor (Former Employee) - Fredericton, NB - 3 January 2014

I learned how to be responsible of keys as well as laundry and cleaning supplies. I also learned what it took to be a good janitor. I managed the Community center by being the secondary key holder and reporting anything to the maintenance crew of anything that needed to be fixed or of any supplies that needed to be replaced. There really isn't any hard part of this job and the most enjoyable part of it was the satisfaction that I got from people who used the center on a daily bases.
