BioPed Footcare Work-life balance reviews

Did not enjoy working at the Mississauga North branch. Management was not professional and demanded too much for $15/hr salary. Small branch meant sales were lowered than lather branches. That branch was never recognized for the hard work done especially at conferences. Owners of branches acted like a cliche and their staff were often rude and unhappy. Orthotics were made for profit at many branches and not the well being of pt. Up selling was encouraged even if products did not work. Company is mostly insurance based and people did not buy unless they had insurance

Pros

Discounts on products, paid training and conferences

Cons

Low salary and no work life balance

Great environment where you can make an impact. Management is supportive.

Canadian Certified Pedorthist (Current Employee) - Oakville, ON - 18 December 2021

I have really enjoyed my time at BioPed. It is a small, but busy location where you can make an impact, good or bad. Due to the smaller physical size, those people you are around are critical and each person can either motivate you, or drain you. Management focuses on prioritizing the ones who contribute positively to this environment. Pay seems about average to competitors, but we are given opportunities to exceed it. Positive contributors seem to do well. The clients are great and have built a lot of relationships.

Pros

Focus on a positive environment, Staff works well together, you feel like you’re helping people and changing lives for the better, the clients are generally grateful in Oakville, management often brings free coffee for staff.

Cons

One person can make or break the environment, it can be busy at times.

One of the very best jobs I have ever had!

Manager (Current Employee) - Oakville, ON - 30 November 2020

The work culture and team spirit make this job an absolute pleasure! Shifts are on average 9-5 or 10-6, and your personal time is respected outside of business hours. Owners are respectful and want to see you succeed. You also have the ability to bring your ideas to the job and make it your own, or better the lives of others. COVID policy is in depth and I feel safe everyday. There is no doubt that it is a fast paced environment, but it has a lot of variety and keeps you interested and challenged, which I like.

Great place depending on each location

Certified Pedorthist (Current Employee) - Windsor Ontario Canada - 14 January 2019

Demanding but quite rewarding career. You have the fredom to provide your own specialized care for clients. You have the full support from Headoffice if you require it and full independence if you wish. Room for growth and room for ownership for those willing to seek opportunities wherever they may be.
