Toxic work environment
Hospitality (Current Employee) - Calgary, AB - 25 August 2023
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedDue to staggering amount of work, we can barely get a full break. Management is stringent and indolent. Employees are neglected.It is fun and amusing to work with the elderly and my co workers. Management is the only problem but no one is brave enough to speak up because there will be consequences.
Pros
Good hours
Cons
Management

Manipulative management with horrible HR
Registered Practical Nurse (RPN) (Former Employee) - Elmira, ON - 28 September 2023
In house management, head office, and HR are horrible and manipulative; treats staff very poorly. No staff are willing to speak up because they know there WILL be repercussions. No respect for work/life balance. Do not work for this company, they will not care about you or respect you.
Pros
Small home, lovely residents
Cons
Manipulation, harassment, and bullying from management.

don’t bother
Care Aide (Current Employee) - Williams Lake, BC - 10 July 2023
no management, no care for staff at all. resident to staffing ratio is off. new shifts suck, only 12hr lines and you are usually running 2 people on the floor for 4 families.
Pros
nothing.
Cons
everything.

Fun workplace to work with especially the staffs
RN (Current Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 25 June 2023
Staff are enjoyable to work with but poor management. I used to look forward every time I come to work but not anymore. The Director of Care is not supportive to the staff, would rather be doing a lot of investigation to discipline staff.
Pros
Staff are nice
Cons
Poor management

Fulfilling place to work in, dependant on the management team
Receptionist (Former Employee) - New Westminster, BC - 29 May 2023
Working for Agecare Royal City Manor was fulfilling, but that is entirely dependant on the team you work with. Some parts of management could use some work, but the care staff and nursing are always supportive while maintaing strong boundaries. So wonderful to spend time getting to know the many residents that came to stay.
Pros
Employee appreciation, personable staff and residents
Cons
Formation of cliques, bullying among staff and management.

Horrible
RCA (Current Employee) - British Columbia - 15 April 2023
Management doesn't care, nor do they listen, they lie and just don't care about the residents or the staff. Truly heartbreaking to see how terrible that place is. And check your paycheck closely, they are always wrong. Worst facility ever.

Jobs at AgeCare
Management is horrible
RCA (Current Employee) - Royal city manor - 25 March 2023
Agecare just took over our care home approximately a year ago. We have seen poor management who don’t care about their employees and have slowly made it worse and worse to work here. Upper management is only concerned about making money and saving money without thoughts of the residents. If I weren’t a long time employee of this home I would definitely be looking for another job!
Pros
Long time employees are like family
Cons
Poor management

poor management, very stressful
Server (Former Employee) - Midnapore, AB - 19 January 2023
the management is very unorganized. they over work you. makes us do 4 hours worth of work and pays us 3hrs with minimum wage. :|During the summer was really bad, I don't even think they had ACs. Using the steamtables was death and if you were assigned to work as the dishwasher during the summer, you are bound to faint. ( I heard many rumors about people fainting doing dishes because it was so hot)
Pros
nice coworkers
Cons
poor and very unorganized management

Terrible place to work
Management team (Former Employee) - Holyrood manor - 18 August 2022
Upper management micromanages everything you do and treats you badly. Either you are the favorite or the worst no in between have seen both sides. No room for advancement. Systems are super old and not updated. Always short staffed and never a full team so you have to take on all roles and if you can't then they get mad at you.
Pros
None
Cons
Long hours, bad culture, negative

Great people
Recreation Therapy Aide (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 6 August 2022
Loved all the people I worked with. Management is disconnected. No support during covid was my reason for leaving. I loved working there and in general is one of the better lodges I've worked for.
