Why our employees enjoy their careers

We know there are many reasons why administrative professionals love working with the City of Edmonton. And we'd be more than happy to explain them. But we believe it's best that you hear from our team members who go out of their way to serve our internal and external clients on a daily basis.

I joined the City because I wanted to be a part of a larger organization where I would be part of a team. Factors that helped me make my decision were compensation, stability, and the leadership structure.

As an employer, I'd say that 'public involvement,' 'recognition,' and 'encouragement of health and wellness' would describe the City. As for the culture or philosophy, the words 'belief', 'integration' and 'success' come to mind. It's a fun place to work, helping the citizens of Edmonton with their needs.
