Working the weekends with no one else in the office other than my partner
Operations Scheduler (Former Employee) - Simcoe, ON - 21 October 2020
Very ittle training. Much confusion amongst management. Policies & Procedures confusing, with no manual to refer to, Constant emails that you can't get through with the phones ringing non stop. Emails containing pertinent information. Very sneaky and underhanded when it comes to hiring full time, mainly the favourites get the job. Lots of gossiping and talking behind peoples back. Force you to work when sick. Lots to say, but I'll stop there.
Pros
Money
Cons
not treated equal

Not a good employer
Ontario works caseworker (Former Employee) - Barrie, ON - 16 August 2020
Worked there several years & it was a very stressful environment & management was very racist &judgmental. As a person of colour I did not feel welcome I felt as if I was always less of a worker then everyone else. When I brought it forward several times I was dismissed by management. A formal complaint has been lodged.
Pros
Salary
Cons
Security and u ion doesn’t do anything

Negative Work Environment
Registered Nurse (Former Employee) - Beeton, ON - 19 June 2020
Long hours that were not compensated, promised to be mentored and instead thrown in the deep end and left to drown. Work place culture is toxic; no positive feedback or encouragement. Management not willing to move forward and desire employees that will not question things or have new ideas. If they do not like you for what ever the reason they will find a way to force you out the door instead of firing you. They encourage their management to use bullying and intimidating tactics to get what they want. High turn over of leadership in certain sectors.
Pros
Benefits
Cons
non supportive collegaues, dishonest management

STUDENT LANDSCAPER (Former Employee) - Midland, ON - 29 February 2020
My experience was nothing but positive at this organization. The employers and co-workers are all motivated, easy-going and kind. The tasks are physically challenging, but the collaborative atmosphere makes working fun and worthwhile.

Generally positive experience.
DZ Laborer/Driver w Winter Road Patrol (Current Employee) - Midhurst, ON - 1 February 2020
Work culture was fairly positive. Benefits and pension were a plus but maybe a little behind other municipal bodies. I felt the pay level was substandard for the industry.

competitive wages
Registered Practical Nurse (RPN) (Current Employee) - Penetanguishene, ON - 18 December 2019
Over all great place to work with competitive wages. It can be stressful as it is very fast paced but it is worth it as the extra hours are available if wanted and the wages are competitive. Very professional place to work.
Cons
fast-paced

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
