Vantaggi
Work environment depends a lot on the department and people you work with, but there are colleagues who are genuinely helpful and easy to work with.
For casual employees, there’s somehow a sense of security since the benefits are almost the same as permanent employees.
Good experience if you want exposure to administrative work, government processes, and handling multiple tasks at once.
Can help build patience, adaptability, and time management because of the fast-paced and demanding workload.
Svantaggi
Salary is low considering the amount of work and responsibilities expected from employees.
Career movement is very slow, and opportunities for growth or promotion are limited.
Seniority is often favored over actual performance and capability, which can be discouraging for employees who consistently deliver quality work.
Workload can become overwhelming, especially for employees who are reliable and capable since additional tasks are often delegated to them.
Overtime work is not paid, but instead converted to compensatory time off.
Management and leadership experience can vary greatly depending on the division or immediate supervisor.
