Not the best place to work

Supportive and inclusive culture that promotes and provides professional development opportunities
Human Resources Coordinator (Former Employee) - Vancouver, BC - 23 March 2022
Nothing but great things to say about this organization. They offer thorough training and provide all the tools you need to succeed. This organization is a great example of how a company should operate.

Disgraceful representation of a public regulator
Technical Leader (Former Employee) - Remote - 13 March 2022
I would have never believed it until I worked at TSBC that the leadership takes pride at collecting fees and finding ways to not inspect anything. The leadership are passionate about woke culture and whatever political agenda is on the mainstream media. There is no passion to help clients and act like a representative for Public Safety. All of the directors and execs have no technical background, the director of technical actually has a teachers diploma if that tells you anything. The rest are lawyers and art's majors. The moment you challenge them, the severance payouts begin. I was the 3 Technical leader hired and fired in 2 years. Same exec, same director. It's a shame as there is lots of great opportunity to improve but not with a top heavy management that actually has no technical knowledge nor leadership skills to empower the Operation minions that do.
Pros
BC Public Pension Plan
Cons
Exec's and Directors have no fundamental idea of what Technical Safety is.

Decent pay, good work life balance, , confusing priorities, toxic work culture
Leadership (Former Employee) - Operations - 24 January 2021
The work life balance and pay is reasonable at this company, so if that is your employment priority they are a good choice. However, the leadership does not have a clear plan on organizational priorities, so trying to understand the practical relevance of what you do will be confusing. This contributes to a general frustration among the employees, which has established a very inwardly focused toxic environment. Sadly, there are many great people but poor leadership.
Pros
Good salary, good work life balance
Cons
Toxic people culture, confusing priorities, lack of progress with corporate goals

Very stressful
Payroll Clerk (Former Employee) - New Westminster, BC - 9 August 2020
Too stressful and horrible culture I don’t recommend working here. Everyone is competitive and not helpful . No one likes to work in a team and many people are downright rude. A lot of bullying

Its okay if you are the secondary earner
Software Engineer I (Former Employee) - New Westminster, BC - 4 May 2020
Technical Safety BC is okay. You have lot of opportunity to learn something excited, but also need to support legacy systems as well. Good work life balance, managers are good at least when I worked there, good benefits but actual salary is appalling. That is the main reason I left.

Great Organization
CSR - Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) - New Westminster, BC - 2 November 2019
Great salary, benefits and management. If you are a performer, you’ll easily excel. Supportive management, great work culture with fun activities throughout the year and a work life balance that allows you to be connected with your family. I’ve seen great, quality individuals excel at Technical Safety BC. If you are just looking for a job to sit and do nothing and get paid- this isn’t for you. Must be why there are so many bitter reviews

Jobs at Technical Safety BC
Client care department failing rapidly
Client Care Representative (Former Employee) - British Columbia - 24 September 2019
Numerous restructuring changes in the past 2 years - too many to list.
Client care department has seen a change of leadership, and the work environment/employee satisfaction has since been going downhill. Many client care employees leaving the company, even after years of loyal service. Regional office client care employees are micromanaged and are required to track every moment of their work day using more than one reporting/tracking platform. Their moment by moment reported tasks, including trips to the washroom, are then displayed on a large screen in head office so that remote management can keep an eye on their work efficiency.
In addition, though not thoroughly expressed in the job description, the regional office CSR is now a call centre position.
Pros
Benefits
Cons
Too many changes to keep up

Management heavy organization
Electrical Safety Officer (Former Employee) - Langley, BC - 7 July 2019
Management heavy or top heavy. Workers are just numbers and can be replaced at any excuse from management.
Years of work can go down the drain on management whim.
Cons
Very bad management

poor work culture and management works and promotes within cliques
fulltime employee (Current Employee) - Vancouver, BC - 8 April 2019
constant changes with good people losing jobs because they are not in the cliques. In 2 years they have had so many re-organizations and let so many people go. The culture is toxic and employees are not happy. A review of management should be done on work practices and fairness.

Not worth it!
Client Care Representative (Former Employee) - Vancouver, BC - 30 March 2019
The company's quality scores dropped when they let the "good"
casuals go. The problem is the union is they keep their "friends" but
as they can see you can't train old dogs new tricks!
Couple department leads have bad tempers especially when you make mistakes, mistakes due to problems with their software and slow system. Issues they know but won't fix but will put the blame on you! Bad all around. Not worth it for the high stress-level, minimum part-time hours, and loads of ework they send to you daily. Get no benefits as casual so beware! Business leader is new and acts like she knows nothing...

Tsbc
Admin (Former Employee) - Vancouver, BC - 4 February 2019
Not a very supportive company, and no protection for contract workers, they don't give you any answers and will block advancement. Only tell you the minimum of information.

Client Care Representative (Current Employee) - Vancouver, BC - 22 December 2018
Re-modeled the organization for good, They pay very good for the positions they hire, give you excellent benefits. There is lots of miscommunication and lack of commication between departments. The staff and management is the best ive seen so far.

Less stressful job, cares for its employees
Cons
Less organized but getting better now.

Good job security but job is unfulfilling.
Boiler safety Officer (Former Employee) - Kelowna, BC - 24 October 2018
Inspection and compliance is being left up to the individual employer. Inspections are risk based but the risk factors are not based on individual plant idiosyncrecies. Too much time is spent on data entry by highly qualified inspectors when someone with better typing skills would be more efficient.
Pros
Allowed to work without direct supervision as long as work meets acceptable standards.
Cons
Company lacks focus and direction.
