Cowichan Tribes

I was one of those people who would think, "why doesn't anybody do something about this?"  Working with youth was at times challenging, confusing but very rewarding. We can learn about social problems and behaviour issues.  Textbooks provide good information of concepts, definitions and terms but the hardest part was communicating because this involves a trust "thing" and it seems for anybody getting into a state of trust is difficult but can be valuable. Some youth it seems you have to slow way down to their current level while some other youth seem to need to go a million miles an hour with their hair on fire, so at times it seems hard to adjust levels to make contact.  I hope the activities and projects I participated with the youth made a difference.

I had a summer job with Cowichan Tribes as a general maintenance worker, I did mostly gardening; weeding, watering, grass cutting. I would come in the morning and start working right away, very little supervision. I learned how to operate gardening machines such as weed whackers, ride-along lawn mowers, and hedge trimmers. Management was good, workplace culture was good, the hardest part about the job was the long hours in the heat outside, the most enjoyable was the steady work pace.

i enjoy working at Cowichan Tribes... it started my career and i am still working on call time to time... 
although enjoy working for this company i would like to share my experiences as a customer service representative ... 

i have 10+ years as a administrative assistant .... i also have 9 years of experience as a cashier .... i use to work for cowichan tribes  from 830-430 and then work at Payless from 5-11 weekly so i am very passionate of both office work as well as fast paced environment as a cashier .

in social development at cowichan tribes was slow paced at first i did filing seemed ok at first but so much paper work to file & did get tiring but i learned different things each day of working in an office that led to receptionist it was great the difficult part was dealing with new applicants applying for social assistance but handled well co-workers were friendly & helpful

I was injured on the job. No support was offered afterwards at all. I repeatedly told them it was an unsafe working situation and was ignored. I was the hardest worker who they called to come in and I did for every shift asked of me even when sick. They have no loyalty to their staff. Management is an absolute mess. 

My job as outreach worker gave me a sense of pride, I believe I truly was valuable person for the community..
I loved seeing the community members flourish, I truly believed in all of our community members.

I want a job permanently within cowichan tribes
I cant wait to apply when i can again and hopefully in another departmment 
very respectful place
hopefully they got lateral violence under control again

great place to work at and have many years of experience and always will to learn new things in different sections of this company was referred to this company by a family member and have worked on and off since 2002

Helping our community members with different areas that provide assistance in our department.

If there is no assistance here for them, I am able to direct them to the proper areas that will be able to assist them

was a long day lots of lifting and sweating. I learned that not all jobs are easy. I worked hard everyday. and got it all done as fast as I could. I enjoyed the elders we served. I think the hardest part was lifting heavy things on my own.
