Loved working in HR as their Administrative Assistance.

Business Assistant in Human Resources (Former Employee) – Regina, SK – 7 January 2019

I learnt a lot in my role as the Administrative Assistance. I helped Recruitment to call on references for jobs, Helped Recruitment with paying procurement cards and external expenses. I also helped the Return to work area with time sheets; filling in vacation, stat holidays, and return to work schedules. I also helped in the Diversity area with charts and references.
SaskPower gave me a great learning experience in which I learnt a lot about Human Resources.
With optimization, there was no jobs after the maternity leave.

Pros

Every 2nd Friday off. Great benefits and pension

Good place to advance career building.

Facility Operator (4th Class Power Engineer) (Current Employee) – Coronach, SK – 4 November 2018

Working at SaskPower has been an excellent job. They help you advance your career by sending you on courses so you can train higher in the corporation. Moral within the corporation is something that needs to be worked on between management and employees.

Pros

Supported advancement.

Cons

Unionized setting. Management sometimes has issues in descision making.

Learned Lots, Great place to work, Great People

Power Engineer (Former Employee) – Saskatoon, SK – 7 July 2018

I was a Practicum Student with Saskpower. I learned a lot from my personal experience with this company, which ranged from assisting in lockouts, backwashing filters, assisting in refilling hydrogen, doing daily rounds, etc. The crews I worked with were helpful and answered any questions I had.

A good place, but company needs to spend more money

Process Operator (Former Employee) – Estevan, SK – 10 May 2018

It's a dirty place to work, in the coal plant. Machines are old and not well kept, and the company needs to spend more money to keep their equipment up to date, but overall, a nice place to work.

a perfect government job

CADD Technician (Former Employee) – Weyburn, SK – 10 May 2018

Mostly it was just a bit too far away.
It would have been great to have an actual written manual for the "very strict design guidelines", which changed depending on who showed me things.
but the people were fun and the work/life balance was amazing!

Pros

Salary is great

Cons

unclear directions
