Working up at Diavik we would have our safety meeting with staff and then go over the days plan with the 1st cooks. Meeting with various staff on what challenges we may have and what specific jobs require to be done on top of the normal day.
 Paperwork would take up 1/2 the day with ordering, invoices etc
 Developing safety programs, moving 2 camps kitchens into one was an interesting learning experience. Dealing with so many cultures of clients and staff needs made me more aware of how to accommodate their requirements.
  Management i worked with was really good supporters as well HR really supported us. Not so much now being at the Smokehouse Cafe'
  We all worked well together, respected each other but still had conflicts that we worked out.
  The most challenging aspect is the reliability of staff shortages and not showing up. 
  Seeing the smile on the clients faces makes the day, and finishing the shift knowing you and your  co-workers did your best.

Should you decide to work for this company Negotiate your contract and DON'T feel obligated to sign on the spot.
You will NEVER be able to reach your HR at head office in YK.  Even the Government cannot get a call back!
It took them 6 mths to change my mailing address.  They will mess up your pay on a regular basis.  ALWAYS check your pay stub.

Life at camp and managers on site were awesome.  They answer or try to find answers that you have questions too.  It's a hard days work but it is great having a family away from home to work with.

Would I ever work for this company again?  NOT IN THIS LIFETIME!
By no means am I disgruntled employee.  Just one trying to get some answers from HR.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Was the day I quit. It was a horrible experience. Nobody wanted to work. Everyone would just cry and go to their rooms and you had to pick up the slack 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nobody wanted to work and you had to do their jobs for them. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Horrible. Worst job I’ve ever had 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Lots of tears. Extra work.  Less pay. It was not worth the headache

People at site are great, clients are appreciative.  
4-6 months to replace key positions is to long
Fly days are fun when the place is full of smiles leaving for time off
Weather can be chilly, but in the summer the long days of sun are great
Have great amenities at site

Hardest part of working here is missing out on having a social life. I have missed out on a lot being up at camp with friends and family.
Overall the pay and benefits are good.

Lack of knowledge and experience at the top. Company does not deal with problems they ignore them. General manager is not suitable for the position and does not have the leadership skills to perform the job. 

Easy job, 2 weeks on and 2 off which made life manageable. Money is low, being native and from the north they give you more money. Staff is always fighting, too much complaining, some staff don't work hard at all. Just be careful what you say and who's around.

great company, great management, would love to work for them again. Easy going but productive employees, jobs are challenging but never boring. Always loved returning to work.

Good place to work if you enjoy kitchen work... 
Good place to learn and if you want to get a career in the kitchen, the mine is a good place to start because you can get your hours pretty quick.

It’s busy everyday but time passes by fast, you get free food, fast(kinda) wifi 
Free room to stay for 2 weeks in but the wall sounds proof is very bad you can heard small noise
