Amazing culture but slow growth

Project coordinator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Good benefits, possibility for remote work, good manager support, positive culture, learning opportunities

Cons

Compensation increases are not substantial. Being essentially a government company, you can't really get a promotion unless the position "opens up", and you have to apply and interview for it.

Embarrassed to be part of it

Human resources coordinator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

I can sit at my desk and do nothing for months and my manager doesn't care. Not sure if this is a pro as it gets so boring just sitting here. I basically surf the web all day. No direction. No tasks. No accountability. Super easy. I'm paid a lot for not having to do anything.

Cons

Management is terrible and executives are even worse. Toxic leadership. I used to be surprised by their lack of management skill but now I am used to it. Since no real work gets done there is lots of time for games and politics. I see it all the time. Projects fail and someone gets blamed. Normally a disposable contractor. It makes me embarrassed to know that hard working British Columbians are paying for me to sit on my hands and for useless executives to drink coffee all day.

Great pay, benefits & work/life balance. Incredibly frustrating work-environment where nobody is accountable.

Pros

- Great benefits - Good pay - Very stable - Great work/life balance - Lots of room for growth if you're in the right department

Cons

- Head office relocated to middle of nowhere in New Westminster - Zero accountability; decision-makers constantly throwaway hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars on boneheaded initiatives that end up going nowhere - Clueless management too-often rely on ridiculously overpaid "yes men" consultants with bloated credentials. Management doesn't consult employees for feedback, nor do they welcome it. - Customers come second, TransLink bends to the will of the regional municipalities - Hundreds of incompetent, unionized employees that management can't get rid of - Workplace culture is non-existent due to all the stuffy "no-fun-allowed" suits in management
