Alberta Health Services Employer Reviews

IT IS GOOD EXPERIENCE WORKING WITH MY LAST COMPANY,BUT UNFORTUNATELY THEY ARE CLOSING IT DOWN.I ENJOYED WORKING THERE.

Great job security for all. Diverse workforce. interesting culture.

I learned so much from the people I worked with. The nurses were amazing and taught me so much. The most enjoyable part of my job was seeing the residents smile. My co-workers were excellent, kind and caring.

AHS compensates their employees well, and also provides great benefits. The overall corporate culture I feel is lacking, working environment could be better. I feel management holds a "hiearchy" over employees which at times can distance working relationships.

Overall, I LIKE working for alberta health services, but don't LOVE it.

Pros: Excellent pay and life balance. Non-management coworkers were fantastic to work with. There are some real amazing people working here.

Cons: You earn your wages by surviving the toxic work environment. Prepare yourself to endure perpetual sterile team building exercises and management circle jerks. Disorganized, lacks direction, laden with cronyism – more... and the subsequent incompetent mid-level managers. Had a few managers that had no clue what an active directory was... not a good sign in an IT department.

This could be a fantastic place to work - but only after they remove half of the management. – less

There are tones of opportunities within AHS. The only downside is that there are so many employees that it's hard to move up the ladder

Currently working night shift.
do rounds at least very 30 minutes. Help with admitting protocol of new patients. Keep unit and Nursing Station tidy. Advise Nurse in Charge of any change in patients status. Collect urine samples as ordered. Sit constant if ordered. Ensure safety of patients and staff. Report any workplace or patient dangers.

The hardest – more... part of the job is travelling 4 hours a day.
The most enjoyable part of the job is giving a patient a reason to smile and seeing them get well. – less

I love working for AHS, the many different areas and departments have given me a greater appreciation for our healthcare workers. The people were very nice with the attention on team work. The managers were very helpful and considerate and I participated in the various birthday and farewell celebrations.
The hardest part of the job was the fact that – more... it was a temporary position. I would have liked to have stayed longer and learned more.
The most enjoyable part of the job is reading and learning more of the medical part of this position. – less

good to work for, good packages, learn a lot and gain more experience, deal with the stakeholders of the company. Deals with all kinds of employees.

Read and get report about plan for patient care and do the best I could to render my responsibilities as a nursing attendant in providing
immediate and routine daily needs of the patients. I've learned a lot at work in dealing with the pt's, family, co-workers and those who are involved in the pt's care----- I've learned to be a good team player, flexible, – more... having a positive attitude. My co-workers are doing their job well and I am getting along well with them but of course disagreement of ideas and arguments are unavoidable but we make sure that we come into a positive solutions at the end and deal with it. The hardest part of the job is having a patient who speaks in different language or who is a language barrier and when staff are not
working together as a team and when staff doesn't respect other staff.
The most enjoyable part of my job is when all the staff are working together as a team. having good working harmonious relationship and getting all the job done well. I also believe that respect for each other
should be present at work. I am happy being part of the team and enjoy my job because I have the heart longs for helping other people, I like and love my job – less

Great company to work for. If you're not full time the hours seem to be all over the place which I don"t like. Iv learned a lot about the medical field and what different kinds of jobs there are in it.

The staff from top management are very nice. I've been working there for 5 years and don't have any plans to quit or leave.

Busy all the time. I`m learning something new every day as there are so many different aspects of the job! Lots to remember. So far I have been learning the ware washing. And surprisingly enjoying it overall. My co-workers to date are a good group of people and are very willing to tell me or to show me what to do!! Very helpful! For me the hardest part – more... of this job is taking out & bringing in the BIG garbage bin. But to this point, everyone has been willing to assist me! Of course the most enjoyable part of the job is getting out of my house and working with a wide scope of different people personalities – less

Clerk IV Glenrose Hospital, Edmonton, Alberta
Greet Clients, create memos, computer literacy, patient relations
to patients and their families .

The project I was assigned to was not managed well and was at a standstill. I had to resign as I was unable to handle being idle for 8 hours a day. I need to be busy to have job satisfaction.

A typical day begins with giving or receiving report to/from the Unit Clerk. I then check supplies in the unit and Emergency Department. I also answer the phones, do my order entry and interact with patients and families. I've learned a lot about organization and flexability. The hardest part of the job is finding enough hours in the day to complete – more... my tasks. The most enjoyable part of my job is finding the hours to complete my tasks. – less

A typical day at work would be to thoroughly clean all areas of the hospital according to AHS standards. I have learned very usefull information about infectious disease's and how to prevent them. The hardest part of the job is seeing babies in the emergency room and the death of a patient. The most enjoyable part of my job is being able to bring joy – more... of some kind to the patients on both the active side and long term care. – less

It's enjoyable to work with your co workers and having fun with residents. My best work is joke around with the residents and make them happy and smile.
