Pros

- Very social job. Lots of opportunities to talk with people. - Self-directed job, so one can choose when they work and figure out what their skills are without too much interference. - Clear instructions and lots of resources for employees. - Management is nice, open, and responsive while still being clear about what is expected. - Online platform is easy to use, and making pay claims is very simple.

Cons

- Online platform can be limited depending on one's position, so an enumerator often has to wait for their manager to make changes to their lists if a case they were working on is reassigned to someone else before they can update it. - Management provides info at irregular times (including during evening or later), and response time to inquiries heavily depends on the individual manager. - No way to proceed further in the public service as an enumerator.

Exploiting vulnerable employees.

Pros

None I can think off - resigned after about a week of work.

Cons

The Field Operations Supervisor at Statistic Canada exploits census employees assigned to her to meet her personal goals. Refused to pay for the regular hours completed on the field and gave me a negative performance review because I resigned, although all work was complete each day and accurately.
