Pros

Great opportunities for growth, Excellent support from management and coworkers, good perks and benefits.

Pros

I have worked at CCS for 5 years now, in 3 different roles. The support I’ve received from different departments in my career growth has been greatly appreciated. I am proud to be a part of a growing, hardworking and successful EPMO team. A team with strong leadership, who supports staff and always has their back, to supportive and fun peers which I enjoy working with on a daily basis. I respect EPMO management's style of fierce conversation and holding people accountable, we are all here to do a job, if you need support or guidance they are there for you, but if you require difficult feedback, those conversations will happen as well, i appreciate this as i like to know how i'm performing and if i'm required to improve in any specific areas.

CCS is growing rapidly, with that comes some growing pains. I personally enjoy a fast paced, changing workplace, but it isn’t for everyone. There are a lot of priorities on the go, a lot of work on everyone’s plates, but nothing we can't achieve. With Executives and Senior Leadership aligned on our Purpose and values, we move forward to execute on our goals for the year and years to come.

Additional Pros:
Mortgage discount
Work/Life Balance
Community involvement and volunteer commitment
Fun culture
Fast Paced Environment
Office location is great - close for those east of the port mann bridge, on transit for those west

Advice to Management

In regards to the overall CCS management teams, i'm excited for 2019, continue to stay aligned with each other and focus on the priories set up by our CEO and executive team.

EPMO Management: I wouldn't ask you to change anything, continue to hold us accountable, push us out of our comfort zone, and support us, having our back means more than you know. We have such a great team right now, we've grown a lot, and we have faced some challenges, however the current vibe within our team is positive and fun!

Advice to Management

Thank you for your transparency. I truly enjoy the time the directors and above take with the staff to update them on initiatives and just the 1:1 time that we get. Communication is always key and from my personal experience there is a great 2 way communication channel being implemented, which enables the employees to feel empowered and inspired. Thank you!

Advice to Management

Continue to support and show encouragement, it means so much!

Pros

1. Competitive benefit packages, including DB pension option.
2. Community focused and encourage employee volunteer work by various policies (like a free volunteer day and additional $$$ budget for you to donate to any non-profit organization)
3. Lunch & learn
4. Decent vacation / personal sick leave days
5. Very strong IT leadership and they are willing to listen to suggestions.

With CCS becoming federally regulated credit union in 2019, it is almost like a national bank in terms of business scope. To handle this challenge, lots of new IT projects are initiated and most are cloud-based. No doubt, if you are an IT professional, you will grow your skills and profession experience together with CCS.

Advice to Management

Need more attention to IT operations, establish some hybrid R&D teams to create some best practices to improve our operation efficiency and productivity so we are scalable in both capacity and capability for future workload.
Two other important thing is
1. prevent excessive bureaucracy as CCS grows in scale.
2. our compensation package is matching market but is behind some heavy-weight companies, like Amazon/Facebook in Vancouver. To attract top talents, at minimum, we need to prevent the gap from increasing .

Pros

Coast Capital has a great vision for their technology footprint and are headed in the right direction. The teams are going strong and getting more efficient with every passing day. New Cloud based tools are being introduced and Infrastructure is being scanned for more and more applications that are cloud worthy. Keeping security in mind. Information Security teams do their due diligence for any new introduction and we as Infrastructure team make sure that we are in Compliance. Great new training opportunities as well.

Advice to Management

Management is doing it right and are very supportive, rather pushy about the new changes, which is very exciting.
