City of Winnipeg Employee Reviews about "work environment"

Pros

good pay, work environment, interaction

Cons

hours are long, shift work, working weekends

Pros

Interesting projects that benefit the community, guaranteed pension, good health benefits, lots of job security, a lot of upcoming retirements so room for advancement, lots of internal training but little interest in spending money to send staff for external training or conferences

Cons

Frustrating work environment, extremely risk adverse, endless meetings, terrible communication, silos, lack of direction, constant political posturing and interference by councillors who only care about what happens in their ward but not the rest of the city, short staffed, poor employee performance rarely addressed

Pros

Great wage, benefits, and pension for a part time job! Fun work environment. Staff pick their own hours based on seniority, so it's easy to manage with school schedules.

Cons

Union (CUPE) is kind of useless. Inconsistent management, high staff turnover.f
