Pros

work life balance, good benefits

Cons

Wage Injustice: The current pay is unlivable, and BC Housing shows no interest in fixing it. Despite the agreement expiring two years ago, they've consistently dodged meetings with union reps. Adding insult to injury, they're now pushing new hires to work Sundays without extra pay. Management Mismanagement: While a few managers stand out, most are either lazy, selfish, or excessively controlling. Some even demand overtime without compensation, showing a blatant disregard for their team's welfare.

Pros

The only "good" thing is Job Stability & flex days.

Cons

Very low pay with no increases for the amount of work expected of the employees. Managers, Directors and supervisors have been there for decades and are very resistent to change. All they do is micromanage. Also, there is no career development - It's not what you know but who you know and who likes you. A lot of descrimination especially against foreigners and women. Employees are extremely overworked, you basically have to work every single second because you are monitored constantly. Also, body shaming is a thing.

Pros

BC Housing provides great work-life balance for union staffs. The company tries to respect every union employee equally. Stress level is relatively low in the work environment and peer are nice usually. The atmosphere differs a bit for the non-union staffs/ managers though.

Cons

BC Housing is an organization striving to stay in its comfort zone. It can encourage much greater innovation within the organization if the internal inertia were less. The organization's top-down decision model further discourages long-needed changes. Pay attention while signing contracts with BC Housing's HR. There has been cases of ambiguous statement and empty verbal promises happened during interviews as well as the agreement negotiation with union. Can't comment whether it's intentional or just few human errors. Make sure you have every negotiated item slated in the contract and carefully read EVERYTHING twice before signing.
