Excellent place to work, even for a temp contract

Temp Contract (Former Employee) – Penetanguishene, ON – 6 February 2019

Great place to work, was treated great by management and other employees. They would work with me with any time off needed, and appreciated the work you put in.

I will try and pursue a full time job there eventually as their culture is fantastic.

great team

CSW (Current Employee) – Barrie, ON – 19 February 2018

I love this job ! the management and my team are compared to non. I have the ability to share my knowledge and that knowledge is respected and used in all situations. The support given by my supervising nurses is like non I have ever had in my 18 years of working as a PSW. The training I receive is above all that I have ever gotten in all my years in health care. Our job focus is behaviors in LTC, but the training we receive is broad training for all aspects of the residents that we deal with. This is truly my dream job and I am so grateful to have been chosen to join the team.

Pros

a valued part of the team

Cons

Pay isnt compareable to LTC

Fulfilling place of employment with lots of interaction with people

Administrative Assistant, Housing Clerk (Former Employee) – Barrie, ON – 5 February 2015

This position had a high level of confidentiality required in working with upper management and in an environment of unionized staff. Responsible as Assistant to the Administrator and 5-7 Managers needs.

Constant management meetings required recording of minutes daily, processing and distribution to appropriate members.

Developed a new filing system as required by the Government changing from paper to an electronic system. Took 1 yr to develop and a lot of care to assure all documentation from all management had been captured for future reference.

Liaison for staff and HR when they had questions or problems requiring confidentiality.

Received calls of complaint from clients wanting higher level review of their case capturing all of their information without partiality and placement with proper management for followup. This required diplomacy as well as accuracy of recording the information.

Before retiring stepped down into Social Housing doing clerical recording of clients information into the computer program which deemed eligibility. Also helped develop policies and procedures for this new division for management.

Left to retire and took on part time work. There were no part time opportunities in the Social Services.

Pros

excellent benefits, good friendships developed inside and outside of work place

Cons

stressful at times

Super workplace; excellent co-workers salary and benefits

Staff Nurse (Current Employee) – Orillia, ON – 15 February 2014

The hardest part of the job is to see the frail elder decline in health status. The most enjoyable part of the job is being able to help them be comfortable and content. Management has a difficult job. Overall they do a pretty good job. My co-workers are excellent. Lifelong learning is promoted at this facility. A typical day at work is busy, busy, busy. You have to be organzied and know how to prioritize. You have to know your stuff to do well and be a value to the workplace.

Pros

We do excellent work.

Cons

Shift work
