City of Regina, SK
Good summer job
Labourer (Seasonal) (Employé actuel) – Regina, SK – 17 août 2019
I was a seasonal worker for the City for 5 years. Its a good job during the summer while you are going to school and it pays decent once you work there for a few years. However, many employees lack motivation.
Points positifs
Being outside, good summer job
Points négatifs
Lack of motivation from others
Great workplace culture

Pays well for what is expected of you. A lot of the staff is friendly and helpful. You are protected and feel safe with the union. Breaks are always given and generous.

Highly toxic it’s a horrible place to work
Labour (Ancien employé) – Regina, SK – 16 mai 2019
Would stay away, my experience was bullying favoritism, just a horrible place in general. Some of the worst attitudes I’ve ever seen in the workplace. I would be ashamed to say I work for the city of Regina…
Points positifs
Nothing
Points négatifs
Harassment, bullying etc.
Toxic people at high levels
Supervisor (Ancien employé) – City hall – 9 mai 2019
Several people have quit due to bullying and harassment. The director knew but just kept hiring bullies and her friends. Those who spoke out were eventually fired or treated even worse. A few people have way too much work while others do very little. High turnover and sick leave is a problem.
Would not recommend it.

I have enjoyed my 15 year career with the city of Regina. Serving my time in various departments throughout the years.

good place to get experience on equipment
Skilled Labourer (Ancien employé) – Regina, SK – 2 mai 2019
would not recommend working here as a career , poor management and a lot of favoritism within the workplace . good opportunity to learn several different machines
Points positifs

Points négatifs
low wage, not enough hours, poor management
No Stability
Manager (Ancien employé) – Regina, SK – 29 avril 2019
Management at all levels is always in a state of flux, either through re-org's, attrition and/or terminations. The operational departments are stable and manage to get things done, but the culture at City Hall is one of exclusivity and turmoil. The pay and benefits are very good, but unless you fit in with a particular "clique", and can endure endless red tape (committee meetings, review processes, bureaucracy, etc.), you will find this a frustrating place to work.
Points positifs
Good pay and work/life balance.
Points négatifs
Like filing paper in a wind storm.
Work Life Balance
Payroll Officer (Employé actuel) – Regina, SK – 11 décembre 2018
Good work life balance, nice supervisor, not a fan of management policies though. Many scopes for skill development. Salary not up to the mark. As a municipal govt should look into that
Excellent work/life balance
Manager (Ancien employé) – Regina, SK – 10 décembre 2018
Super friendly staff, become friends rather than just co-workers very quickly. Easy commute to work from anywhere in the City which goes a long way to offsetting the lower salary.
Points positifs
Easy commute, friendly coworkers
Points négatifs
Lower than average salaries
large Company, Great Benefits
Utility Person (Ancien employé) – Regina, SK – 13 novembre 2018
Worked there for 14 years great co-workers to work with. Inclusive work environment. Good health benefits and pension plan. Management was supportive to work with.

Worst place to work
Senior Purchasing Agent (Ancien employé) – Regina, SK – 28 octobre 2018
Personal bias, management and leadership has preference to local Canadians, different treatments to immigrants.
If you are highly talented, the supervisors and managers will try to undermine
