City Of Moose Jaw

A day at work required operating the entire facility. I would come in and log in to the system, provide strong customer service, while maintaining the integrity of the facility and providing as much customer service to the best of my ability. Management and co-workers were very team oriented and I very much enjoyed my time working there, as I was there in the duration of my final year of school. It was a great job and I actually did not mind working the late hours as my job was very enjoyable.

Hardest part of the job was dealing with individuals who would try to voice their opinions about the facility, and just generate unnecessary tension. The most enjoyable part of my job was dealing with all the programs and people who committed to the sports and programs provided there. Being a part of a community induced facility was amazing.

City of MJ work is very 'easy' to do or not to do depending on who you are. Nature of work means you are almost always unsupervised so some workers may nap while others work hard. This can feel unfair sometimes but if you take pride in your city and how it looks then your hard work is worth it.

Perception around city workers in general culminates in a weird mentality. Community think all you do is sit around and workers know this and it kind of feeds into a vicious circle of "No matter how hard I work citizens will think I'm lazy, so why work hard?"

Overall fun place to work as almost all coworkers are outgoing and friendly most of the time. Highly recommend to young people/students who want a decent paying job, every second/third Friday off, and are passionate about their community.

Pros
- Safety of a union job. Can get away with not doing much.
- Can be a good learning experience, since there are so many things that need to be modernized.

Cons
- Weak management
- Outdated processes, policies, computer systems.
- Outdated, obsolete infrastructure

Overall
It is a good place to stay and try to make your mark for a few years. I would not recommend working at the City of Moose Jaw too long.

Great jobs available with the city with some amazing people to work with. Great pay and benefits. Highly recommend applying. Get vacation pay, sick days and in some jobs EDO’s. They have student leave, mat leave, bereavement, holidays. They also have a lot of in-house courses you can take.

Grader crew lead has a big head and thinks he’s important and rats on everyone, management are  corrupted and pin point who they want out. Hardest part of the job are the ppl in work place very toxic most enjoyable is end of the day when h get to go home 

I tried to get on with this organization for many years. And when I succeeded I was flabergasted to find out that it was horrible. There is a great deal of empire building that has gone on for many years. As the hire ups are mainly trying to suck up to counsellors who have often very little experience in Financial, Administration, Engineering, Land Management, etc.

I have never worked at a place that makes you feel so small and insignificant. You’re constantly warning to quit.
There is no organisation management or common direction for the organisation to follow. 
Allows you to be harassed by citizens and other coworkers, and sometimes harassment is encouraged.  

It's very nice to say I get so many bosses that are fun loving and yet great to work for. You go in and most will say hello and know your thire to be sure it's clean befor they come in during the morings.
Well one just know what needs to be done get it done and it's filling to have it all done.

Working with the city had so many benefits as a youngster. The flexibility, pay, atmosphere, co workers and overall everyday there made me smile. Would recommend to anyone thats starting off and wants to advance into something better down the road.

Move out of Moose Jaw. If you choose to stay, this is not a bad employer. It's likely you'll only have a job opportunity here if you have an inside connection, so this review is irrelevant.
