Housekeeper (Current Employee) – Grande Prairie, AB – 30 December 2018
You guys love the long hours without being paid ot??? What's wrong with you.equal pay for equal work.come on already.stupid.these camp companies hire immigrants who cant read,write or speak English.how can they do their job?cant read walk downs,labels on chemical bottles,cant fill out flha.so how are sv supposed to work with this?makes no sense.also they do half the work.literally.the rooms are filthy and there is no getting them to do better.HN will at some point start losing contracts due to the lack of cleanliness.seen it happen to other camp companies.this one is no different .this is a catering company..only do 2 things. Cook and clean.the camp I'm at isn't doing either very well.
Pros
None
Cons
Immigrants doing nothing for same pay as me

House Keeping Attendant (Former Employee) – Fort McMurray, AB – 8 August 2018
Safety is the most important apart for the customers and myself having my tickets with my experience of 10 years with my experience to provide great customer services and being a good team member I believe that my skills and experience would be suitable for this job.
Keep Looking.
"Production Worker" (Current Employee) – Kamloops, BC – 2 August 2018
All you will find here are sub-par wages and miserable people everywhere.
Management treats people terribly, and there is currently a freeze on time off requests. During summer.
Ideal place to learn how to use tools if you've never worked a day in your life though.

Long hours of work and a long rotation

Great People, management is hard to deal with
Project Manager/Senior Business Analyst (Former Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 10 April 2018
People were always great to deal with on a daily. The upper management could be difficult to deal with at times, when it would come to changing process and systems.
