What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Depends on you and the co workers. Normally very good relationships

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Challenging and exiting, for me at least.

I would start of my day early to ensure the calendar was appropriate for the Director and any conflicts would be adjusted.  The calendar changed frequently.  I ensured all was in order before the Director arrived to the office.

I learnt GC Docs at PSPC and was the BRIM lead for all documents.  

The work culture was fast paced but excellent people to work with where you can ask the questions required and received an answer with a smile.

Within the context of procuring goods and services for the department/agencies you acquire a strong national pride for all the work that goes on unseen by the Canadian people. It is especially rewarding to know that it takes many dedicated employees from scientists, engineers and servicemen/woman across the country.

I was a CO-OP student, I loved working at PSPC. The management team is great. I knew what was expected of me. Enough training was provided. I was given an opportunity to handle projects. I developed significant experience working in an office environment.

The day is typical for a call center/office environment.  Everything is under a microscope and micromanage.  The work itself is decent but the complete disrespect from management towards the employees makes it hard to stay.

The management needs training on professionalism. Work life balance for independent contractors is non-existent. There is no place for growth and teams work very much in silo.

Great place to work, many opportunities ! Great place for career advancement. Many locations. Only downfall is that it’s served by the Phoenix pay center and it’s an absolute mess even till this day! 

People here are caring and supportive. They care about how you are doing. However, the onboarding process was confusing and training is minimal. It's important to learn on your own.
