A typical day at work involves not being able to preform your daily duties properly or safely because the company will not purchase the proper tools needed. If you choose to go above and beyond with your duties you will be reprimanded as going the extra mile means you exceeded the allotted time for your work activity.

You lean that you must record everything you do at work as you are being watched and managements bonus structure is based on discipline and not performance. Managements unwritten motto is "Safety first unless it costs" and this motto results in faulty and inadequate safety equipment and dangerous vehicles that are forced on the employees to operate.

Co workers are great as they seem to band together as the union and the company have created an alliance, One that is against the staff.

The hardest part of the job is telling the customers that their serious gas leak will not have a technician on site for up to 3 hours because the company has decided to save money by not filling positions. As well you are randomly called into managements office and they compare the GPS log on your truck to that of the written log book each Tech keeps. If for any reason the 2 don't jive it's days off no matter what the reason is. 

The most enjoyable part of working for SaskEnergy is the end of the day! 

The company has a culture of harassment and bullying when their employees point out serious safety infractions.Your free to use the harassment policy but things will only get worse after that!

Ask any field staff and you'll get a similar review as the one you've just read.

A day at work starts with logging into the system, and getting logged into internal email, and doing report desk tasks which include bill counts and data entry for bills sent out on every cycle date.

I've learned to micro-manage different tasks as my role is very diverse, as explained in my job description. Our management is very good, they are very direct with what they need done and very helpful when investigated different areas of what the role requires.

My co-wrokers are very knowledgeable and helpful with any type of scenarios that could come up. They do however can present challeneges with personality differences. But, luckily that hasn't been a strong focus of an everyday component to my day.

The hardest part of my job would be the difference of opinions as it strongly reflects as to how the day will be effected. The work can be challenging at times, but because of such great support systems we are able to move forward.

I enjoy that I have a great job and work for a great company, and that keeps me driven on an everyday basis. I like my schedule and how it works with all components to my life, makes me walk in those doors everyday.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I worked with some amazing people.  At one time, we were valued and recognized for the work and accomplishments were did.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Sadly, at the end of my career, the company lost focus on good employees and recognition, to more promoting and recognizing the the people that did the most brown nosing.  Talks with former employees is focused on how it USED to be a good company and how we worked together.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Used to be good.  Was not good when I left. New management brought the are I was in down.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I was field staff, so I would come in, prepare my vehicle and head out.  There was an administrative part to my job, but most was out in the field.

This company started off a good place to work, but turned into a horrible, toxic environment.  

GPS used to constantly micromanage and discipline even when used appropriately.

Managers would care more about their bonus than about your health and safety and a company that could care less about you.

You are a number, they make that incredibly apparent.

The union and the company hate each other (mainly because the company is stripping any rights that you have left and trying to change any language they can to take even more benefits away) so that makes it impossible for the interactions between in scope and out of scope employees to be positive.

SaskEnergy is represented by weak management and a lack of leadership. There are little to no advancement opportunities within the company and constant restructuring; however, if an opportunity does present itself, unqualified corporate puppets are often selected. The attitudes of the employees reflect years of being unsupported and belittled by management, bullied by peers, and being considered disposable by the company. In addition, the Union does not support their members and is more of a hindrance than a help. If you are looking for a company that pays well at the expense of your mental health and self-esteem, then SaskEnergy is the place to work.

It is a dysfunctional government run company. Management is weak. They are mostly lifers in SaskEnergy or have worked in other crown corporations. Had 3 people quit the same time as myself.

Hard work and intelligence was not valued. People who got the promotions were mediocre but well liked by management. It tries to be inclusive and safe environment, and relatively safe job, but a dinosaur, backward company. Definitely not for people wanting to achieve and raise the bar.

I have been working for SaskEnergy for over half a decade. They provide good benefits, decent pay, and a great culture. Some roles can trap you into a pay bracket and it’s basically a lower paying SaskPower job with worse growth and benefits. That’s still a compliment it’s a good place to work, just not the top of the crown corporations. Managers can be out of touch and seem to play by a different set of rules then the employees but that’s a common issue at most workplaces. 

I have been with the company for many years, It's a great place to work with many opportunities. The qualifications for entry level are minimal so it's a great place to start your career.

It was a 9 to 5 job with EDOs's I Learned so much about computers. The management could be better you always have that one boss. The hardest part of the job was having to cut someones gas off because they couldn't pay. The most enjoyable part was Helping someone and they didn't know it was you that helped.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Cordial relationship with the entire Staff

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Discrimination from my colleages/supervisor

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It was peaceful and friendly environment and the inclusive culture is amazing.
