Great West LifeCo

Job consisted of daily routine for Building Operator,  checking and reading equipment and utilities. 
Company has good benefits and pay is average. 
Company has money and not afraid to put money in equipment. 

The manager I worked with was one of the worst kind of person I ever met in my life. She poison the employers and put them one against each other and seems to have pleasure seeing people's mental health deteriorate.  
The most heartless and dishonest person I've worked with. 
I didn't hesitate to run away from that cancer giver environment,  even when they offered me 30% raise to stay. 



Work was data entry. After training you got to pick your shift, and you could start between 7 and 9am, which was nice. Every morning you pick up a stack of work, and focus on processing the information. You can ask questions from your supervisor, and there are reference materials to help you. Those were a little confusing, and I felt that they could have made them easier to use. The most enjoyable part of the job was the coworkers, very pleasant people. The worst part was the huge open office with lots of distractions. 

This is a nice place to work but you must keep your head down.  There is little room for advancement if you are not willing to go drinking or willing to play golf with bosses.
This is a silo based environment with too many levels of management.  They will hire people on at minimum wage if they can get away with it.

Was the best job I ever worked at in a HR department.  Strong collegial and team environment.  Competent bosses with strong HR knowledge, and built a strong, collegial and team environment. Good work-life balance, and interesting projects to work on.  Clients were also collegial and wonderful people to provide HR coaching and services. 

Managers are picked not just by ability but by favouritism.  If you speak out against things, it is held against you.  Flexible work day is of benefit as you can adjust your hours as long as you are there for core hours and for 7.5 hours.

You can log off after 8 hrs. Management is good. Every one is busy during work hours so they may not listen to you. Little stressful with work. Pay is avg and benefits are good. Job is highly secured and changes are slow.

I found the work to be challenging and management was more or less supporting. As usual with all big companies, things moved slowly but my managers helped with career progression. 

This place is poison, especially in IS. The management team try their best to rule by fear and they gang up on employees to make their lives miserable. Terrible work environment.

It was a great atmosphere and challenging project to solve. The overall transformation required constant careful analysis and intelligence gathering in order to put it on the right track.

Company has gone through lots of changes. Change is good as it creates new vision and enthusiasm, but managing that change is a challenge that most have not mastered.
