Work environment was good 10-15 years ago, now is total different . Midle managers have no people skills at all.Senior managers don't meet with emploees to listen to their concerns, good days are long gone!

Reccomanded to everyone

Technical Analyst (Network) (Current Employee) - Richmond, BC - 7 June 2020

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, YVR had to reduce its workforce to address the decrease in its operational requirements. My position was not among the reduced ones, but a more senior union member decided do exercise displacement rights and removed me from my work at YVR. Otherwise i will still be enjoying working at YVR.

My dream job

Electrician (Former Employee) - Richmond, BC - 22 May 2020

Maintenance crew working 12hr shifts four on four off. Lots of troubleshooting calls with a balance of work orders and preventative maintenance. Lots of different things to work on and therefore never boring. There’s really nothing bad to say other than COVID-19 ruined everything.
