Dominion Diamond Ekati

This is a fully self sufficient camp, it was a ten minute walk to work lots of stairs kept everyone in shape. 
Totally isolated in the sub-arctic, fly in fly out no roads.
We all had a job to do. and for two weeks we all did our best
The cold is merciless, that long with really long nights, makes for a very unforgiving place to spend two weeks....what doesn't kill you does make you stronger....I work with a great crew....we get along, and do what it takes to get er done

The Ekati camp, provided excellent accomodations! Great food, also their service staff werr always friendly, curteous and Outgoing. 
Saftey is part of our culture. Employees/visiters are provided with training and encouraged to become pro active and always work and play safe. n

Wages were fair, opportunities for growth were fair.

There has been 3 different owners of this mine since I started working there so it hard to review because of changes that are made each time it changes hands. On  the whole, the crews have a good working ethic and support each other in getting the jobs done safely, The camp is well kept and the food is passable. Most of the staff are competent and capable in what they do.

People here are really great to work with.  The job is always interesting.  Very fast paced and constantly changing.  Company is only 3 years old.  Fly in and out is great if you can get a 2 week rotation.  Also have 4 days on 3 days off which only works if you live in Yellowknife or Hay River.

Great workplace to work, great coworkers.  Complete payroll for 800+ employees. Have traveled occasionally to the Ekati minesite. Completed occasional training with CPA either inclass or online web-based.  Worked with SAP during whole employment duration, 10 years.

It's  a giant boys club with everyone trying to stab you in the back when your not watching... especially management!! Your treated like garbage by the locals if your from the south. Zero backing from management have to get union involved for everything...

Enjoyed the camp life, but 2 weeks away from home with slow wifi.  Has a small town feel and has a store there too.  Food was decent and has a decent sized cafeteria.

High paced and very multi leveled with respects to responsibility.  Can be collaborative in some areas.  Living conditions on site are everything you would need to be away from your Life outside of work.

Not bad but they need to get on board with better perks for employees. Vacation requests should not be denied. No banking of overtime allowed. I have a micro manager.

the only good thing i liked about working at the mine was that it was easier to save, two weeks on, two weeks off was good, the company i worked for does not offer benefits or sick leave.
