What is the best part of working at the company?
Pay. Part time worker, always understaffed so many hours, many days in a row.  No life work balance.  Poor scheduling. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Schedule.  You had to be available at all times.  7 days a week and during hours of operation. 6 am to 10 pm

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Not healthy.  There was no work life balance.  Treatment if full time staff and partime staff was not equal.  Little to no recognition feeling of any value 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Walk in, May or mat not be greeted by co workers or management.  Turn on computer and start work

I was a temp employee in the finance dept. I had been there for two months, however, I had a daycare situation and I could not come into work due to the daycare closing down, I was in a real predicament being a single parent. I advised work of situation and then management wrote me up a bad review which was sent to Human Resources. To say the least, I was never called again for any temp positions. If you have children, don't apply here as they will not be supportive or understanding.

Fast paced environment, very demanding, long hours but very rewarding and much fun. Management were great and accommodating.  Volunteers were recruited to help and maintaining steady help was difficult but not impossible. Trying to accomplish all duties into one day resulted in long hours because of the pressure to put the games on in time.  Once the games were underway and awards given at the end, it was very rewarding to see everything worked out superb.

Working with the children was fun and planning with my coworker was the best experience. I learned a lot from her. Working with my coworker was the best. Bad decisions at the top were the reason I chose to expand my horizons elsewhere.

Working at the city was a good experience with good people. Unfortunately though, the management culture is extremely toxic. With very low compensation compared to similar positions in neighboring cities, there was no incentive for me to continue my employment with them.

I brought up concerns multiple times to multiple people but in the end I was completely ignored and forced to move on.

Poor management communication and promotion/advancement is strictly based on Seniority no matter what they tell you; Constantly hire over qualified people who move on to bigger and better things whilst average employees get promotions for sticking it out long enough for there Seniority to kick in, ultimately creating a breeding ground of mediocrity.

This is an annual contract I get each Spring to write up the awards show for the Kelowna Civic Awards. I'm given about 10 pages of information on each finalist and have to create a 100 word summary that is entertaining and informative enough that people can sit through listening to all 66 of them without getting bored.

Great place to work.  I was a casual worker so I had the chance to work at the Landfill, City Yards, Waste Water Treatment plant, City Hall, the Parks department.  Best place to work for me was at the Landfill because they have a fun loving crew out there.

A typical day can include many different events, people and opportunities. The entire staff team is accepting and willing to grow together. Always looking for new opportunities to be interacting and providing great experiences for the public.

Really awesome workplace and people, but had to maintain set hours as I am only part time. The management team is always positive and encouraging personal and professional growth.
