Awful - if you have to accept an offer here, have an exit stragegy - Head Office, Professional TransAlta Employee Review

-Severely under resourced; not enough hours in the day to complete all of your work. Bright, competent employees either leave to the competitors, become workaholics and stay, or start saying 'no', and give up home of ever getting promoted. -Employees are not valued, nor does management care to work with employees to create more effective strategies to manage excessive departmental workloads. The only acceptable answer from an employee to a manager is 'sure, no problem'; very authoritarian style management, hidden behind an insincere smile. -Many of us have worked for the competition - there are better options. Working here is costly to your health and personal life. -No backup support - when a senior employee leaves, it's often the case that no one else knows how to do his / her job. The work is redistributed to existing employees (again, very under resourced). There are not enough hours in the day to cross train. -Management lack the soft skills to be effective - the SVP in our department regularly screams at her assistant, and drops the F bomb. -This may sound repetitive, but the management are not open to feedback - you would have more luck trying to reason with a brick wall.
