Aquatic Biologist Reviews
What is it like working as an Aquatic Biologist?
August 2020
Great opportunities but low salary.
Aquatic Biologist in Calgary:
Pros: Management trusts their employees and gives them the freedom to work on their own and to collaborate.
Cons: Hemmera frequently expects you and bills you out at a role profile one to two levels higher than your current role. This can be an ok strategy as it prepares staff for eventual promotions, however pay is no where near commensurate.

Working hard to keep our river and community beautiful.
Aquatic Biologist in Kyle:

December 2017
Low pay, little upward mobility.
Aquatic Biologist in Houma:
Work for the government if possible. Do anything you can to stand out - request extra assignments or duties to try and move up to management or you'll be mired in the same job and pay scale forever.
December 2015
Ecology Haven.
Aquatic Biologist:
Pros: I truly enjoy understanding wetland habitats and doing what I can to improve them from the poor/healthy state that I found them in. If I can restore a habitat back to its natural form, then I have succeeded in my work.
Cons: Office Work.
