Environment Canada

One of the few reasons while working at Environment Canada i enjoyed the most was. The exposure to many of the different levels that the job had to offer. Such as working in billing, the finance department and also weather department. Which was very informative and am always occupied with learning different types of computer systems which makes the day goes by so much faster, which most days I didn't want it to end. Management along with my co-workers were all amazing because when am finished an assignment I would always go around to all the various departments and give my assistant to whom ever needed it. The hardest part I would say is working on the phones, which became easier overtime because I had the help of my team leader or supervisor all the time in answering questions to the public and forwarding call to the appropriate personnel.

There is a lot of interesting work being done at Environment Canada.
I was only working to backfill a maternity leave. I enjoyed being at Environment Canada however was successful in getting another position with Natural Resources Canada.

I learned how valuable the Great Lakes and other bodies of water are to Canada and how important it is to keep them and the natural habitat working.
Unfortunately, the job I was performing at Environment Canada is now a surplus job

I hired to work in Environment Canada through a Security Company to work as a Security Front Desk for the Environment Canada,  I wished if I worked here directly to the Environment Canada as the staff is so friendly and call you by your name.  The staff has always social events in which I was invited all the time.  As a typical day, I was processing Photo IDs for the new staff and provided temporary passes for employees who have forgotten their photo IDs at home.

Note that this was a student position, and that permanent employees enjoy far more benefits than students do.

- (Student) No paid vacation or sick leave.
- (Student) No work-from-home

This job included a lot of data analysis and verification. The department I was in worked with biofuels blending in Canada, and much of the work involved processing the data. This was my first real "office" type job and I learned a lot about that format of work, as well as the difficulty of co-ordinating large groups of workers. I enjoyed the atmosphere, but the work could be repetitive at times.

I really liked working at the Biosphere museum, the days were filled with various activities. I really enjoyed interacting with customers and being on my feet as well as outside. Fantastic coworkers too! One con I would say is the low wage. After taxes, I literally made less than minimum wage in Ontario. Also there were no guaranteed hours per week. Sometimes I worked 25, sometimes 37.5

I really enjoyed my time working for Environment Canada. The team was great, the work was challenging and fulfilling. If you can get past the red tape and paperwork the rest of the job was amazing. My only real complaint was that it payed next to nothing for my position as a student, and I got none of the normal benefits of being a government employee.
