Glacier Media

Worked as a designer for Glacier for many years... at first while they were Canwest it was a good company to work for, then Postmedia took over and it went downhill... after Postmedia the Glacier Group took over and the writing was on the wall... all 3 companies were poor in managing company funds and at present it shows. 

They ultimately killed 60 design jobs making their community newspaper not so community oriented since all of our jobs, roughly 60 in total were sent off to India/Philippines. It's companies like Glacier and Postmedia that deserve to have government change the laws so companies who outsource are penalized each year fiscally.

So remember next time you pick up the Burnaby Now or Tri-City News remember those ads where created by someone working for less than $300 USD per month not someone in YOUR community feeding their family..... better yet, dont pick the paper up and dont advertise in this rag.

Talked to customers and resolved delivery issues. Calculated and entered work pay sheets,reviewed daily needs for employees, checked to insure product was in warehouse. Learned how to deal with difficult people. Worked in same place for 20 years most of  my work knowledge was learned with one employer. Started as manual labour and ended as manager.
Co-workers were fun to work with and very helpful. The hardest part of my job was getting up 3 hours early to get to work in Vancouver. The most enjoyable part of my job was doing a multitude of tasks. Worked with the same people for many years we became like family.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Co workers were very Yale and pleasant to work with

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management was always looking to cuts costs and there was very little job security. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Positive, as there was good collaboration but stressful, as there were tight deadlines and unpredictable management. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Had a good idea of the projects I was responsible for. Days are quite busy but the work atmosphere is good for the most part.

What I enjoy the most is being kept busy, the hardest is having nothing to do all day, the challenge is gone, the learning is gone.
I start the day with some work to do, after that it's data entry as required.
I like the challenge of dealing with issues that might come up, at the end of the day I see what I have accomplished.
Co-workers are great. We find the time to laugh and have fun with each other, going out for lunches is great as we get to know each other outside the work place.
Management is distanced and not approachable, which makes it difficult at times to offer suggestions or ideas.

Very difficult place to make any change as management will not listen to recommendations or suggestions even if you provide statistics and analytics to back it up.
Set up new products for failure with a complete lack of effective training for all sales and support staff.
"I don't like it, make it better" is the most constructive feedback that you will receive. Expectations to improve products without allowing any changes to be made; essentially they expect you to get different results but while not allowing you to do anything differently.

I found Glacier Media to be a very supportive and fair employer! Extremely supportive management, great collaboration with the team, rewards and recognition for personal and team successes. Encourages team building events, and plans outings and activities. 
Understand the need to pivot in workplace environment to meet the changing landscape of new employees and circumstances.
Good compensation, and incentives. 
I’d highly recommend Glacier Media.

If you come in willing to give it your all, don't wait to be told what to do, take initiative, and put forth your ideas -- they appreciate you and typically allow you autonomy to go forth, conquer and do great things!    The talent and people within Glacier are incredible!

They do not appreciate those with a sense of entitlement, nor should they.

Communication from the top could be better and more frequent, but don't wait to have it handed to you.  If you need something - go get it.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The staff, customers , challenges,  always keeps you hopping! 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not enough hours in a day, but a variety.


What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very good and helpful staff.  Work as a team across the board.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Busy followup calls, accounts receivable, maintaining accounts., etc.

Glacier Media Inc. was a good opportunity for a new accountant to gain valuable work experience and the necessary skills to further ones' career. However, the turnover at the company is pretty high, and upward mobility is pretty limited. Given it's many publications, there is opportunities to work all over Western Canada.

Really bad company to work for & Management is really bad. It's multi culture company and many people brings in over someone without any knowledge, but if manager likes you will be trained. I lot of gossip and your co-worker talking about you behind your back. If Manager doesn't like you, you can ended on the street with termination letter without cause. Since, I was there at least 35 people goes and left.
