Good pay, benefits, lots of overtime hours

Indeed featured review

The most useful review selected by Indeed
Belvedere height is a decent place to work with alot of dedicated long term employees. I wouldn't say it is a fun place to work anymore, however it once was for staff, management and residents. The rate of pay is good for the area and benefits are available to full-time staff and they are fair. If you are looking for a position with lots of available hours and overtime this job will definitely provide you with that. Management could do a better job in boosting the staff moral.

Pretty good place to work.

Belvedere is a pretty good place to work with flexible “lines” (both part time and full time) and shifts to suit your needs. The residents are the best part of my job!

If you like intrigue, and finger pointing…

It used to be a good place, with its issues, but it stopped working cohesively as a team with change of management, and lack of training. Bullying and lying were standard practice on all levels.

has became very tonic over the last few years, not everyone is treated the same

very toxic environment at this time,The most enjoyable part of the job was to be the voice for the residents that live there & try to meet their needs. Made their last day a good memory for them & their families.The hardest part of the job was dishonest among the staff & the tonic administrator

Thank you for choosing Belvedere Heights for your student placement!

Horrific, to say the least.

Heartbreaking. You get to spend no quality time w/ residents, their quality of life is a direct reflection of poor management and respect for staff. They hire unqualified nursing staff who brush over serious issues and don’t do their job properly, how nurses who work here still have their license is beyond me and needs to be looked into. Disconnect between management and staff, staffing manager is horrible and will schedule you outside of your avail/behind your back and jeorodize your job at Belvedere. Seriously one of the worst places to work. Look elsewhere.

Don’t fall for the chip and cheery personality.

Stay clear - this place is a liability issue. Belvedere used to be a wonderful place to work, until management changed, and the hospitals board of management is taking over. Training is lacklustre, and while it’s preached residents come first, it’s far from the truth. Management does little to protect residents from abuse, and more attention on petty workplace drama. Say the sky is blue, get hauled in to be spoken too. Leave residents unchanged, you’re off scot free. If you want never ending hours to work, they’ve got you covered. Or a boss that will look in your face laughing while telling you a blatant lie. If you want a workplace that respects it’s employees and adheres to its collective agreement… run. One reason for the current high rate of staff turnover. Good work ethic gets you nowhere in this place. You’ll be leaves short staffed, and be told everyone has a right to work at their own pace, leaving residents to wait hours for their meals. The residents make this job rewarding, the lives you meet and touch, stories you learn, jokes you hear. However, the toxic work environment ultimately cannot be ignored and will destroy your passion

Pros

Job security, hours

Cons

Poor management, unequal work distribution, short staffed

Do not work here.

They try to intimidate you not to advocate for your residents. They basically promote burnout. Bedside manner is the least important although they continuously lie about how much they support the residents. They are filled with broken promises but once you try to rectify anything or stand up for yourself…you are the problem. Toxic environment solely because of management. I would never recommend my friends or family to work here.

Pros

Full time/long term workers honesty

Cons

Everything else

Thank you for your kind comments! We are very proud of our Team here at Belvedere Heights!

Very productive, very high paced.

I've learned how to become a proper PSW through this workplace, but not enough experience before they put me on the floor to try to care for residents on my own. A typical day was just always being on the go which was good, as it made the day go by fast. My favourite parts was when i got to sit down and talk briefly with the residents.

Cons

Didn't work with my modification for as long as I needed, will put you on different floors, the full time staff doesn't really direct you as to what to do when you're not used to that floor.

No

I worked there for a short amount of time. Management … doesn’t exist to Belvedere. PSWS are rude and weren’t helpful... Dismissed when asking for help. Left crying… it stressed me out so much. Never worked in such an unhealthy/unfair environment.

Worst Management

if your are international and joining here as part time thinking they will help for paper work STOP they wont help you any. They will give shift when they have shortage but will cut off your regular shift when they do not need you. Extra shifts are based on seniority so if you are new you are not getting any as they have already lots of part-time staff. Always mistake in pay check feels like they want you to work but does not like to pay. Staff are good but management are worst of worst.

Usually a positive atmosphere

Belvedere is usually a good environment to be in, although lack of care for residents comes along with short staff which is sad. I really enjoyed the interaction with the elderly, as they all need company.

Would not recommend this organization!

This organization has great, caring staff..unfortunately because of the terrible management team and their lack of respect for the staff, staff are very unhappy and staff morale is very low. Most managers are inexperienced and enjoy having power over staff, and most are treated poorly, unless you are one of the chosen favourites by your manager.

Poor management

Worked for this organization for a number of years. Many kind caring staff who become like a second family. Can't say the same for management. They are unkind and very disrespectful to the employees who work hard to take care of the residents. Very low staff morale due to the treatment they receive from the current management. Many staff are leaving to seek better opportunities in the community.

Poor Management

The new management does not care about their employees nor do they care about their opinion. People are quitting left right and centre because of all the changes they keep doing.
