Reviews about Pay & benefits for Inspector at SGS
Bad hours, easy work
Grain inspector (Former Employee) - Thunder bay - 14 November 2022
Always on call, long shifts, work its self was not bad. Good managment. Safety equipment was not provided but training was good. I was unexpectedly laid off.

Very Mentally Taxing Workplace
Grain Inspector (Former Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 22 November 2021
There were good and bad factors to working for SGS Winnipeg, also depending on your lifestyle and needs. I'll list some examples:Good: -Phone, food, mileage, travel expenses all covered-benefits were good but took over 1 year to come into effect -travel all over Canada to grain facilities, exploring and meeting clients-interesting job, learning about the grain industry and how to inspect many types of commodities. Gained a lot of skills and knowledge-co-workers for the most part were pretty cool, fun, enjoyable people to be around-Office is really nice, good-ish location (downtown, nice view)-rack up tons of banked overtime and can take most of summer offBad:-Very little control over personal life, must always be available at a moment's notice. -Scary management. Lots of lying, mental games, pressure, stress, always worrying about making them mad. Lots of backstabbing, talking behind backs. Extremely toxic culture. In the past 5 years, easily 25 people have come and gone as inspectors, on bad terms with the bosses.-Unhealthy amount of overtime between August-April. Borderline illegal amounts of hours at some times (18-22 hour shifts) _Summary:The Bottom line is, this is a cool job, very involving, and can be a lifelong career. I enjoyed traveling, bonding with people, learning a lot, but it is definitely not for everyone. The spontaneous travel and extensive overtime is not compatible for a person wanting to life a settled down family life. A perfect candidate would not be the type to celebrate christmas, birthdays, new years, or any type of weekend activity. -
Pros
Mileage, travel, skills and knowledge

long hours, scary bosses, no work-life balance
