Not what it once was!
Registered Nurse (Former Employee) - Guelph, ON - 8 July 2021
Simply put, the medicine program (4E/W) at the Guelph General Hospital is not what it once was! The culture has become toxic and as a result the turnover of staff is astronomical. There is a culture of fear and intimidation. Management is well aware of the concerns but fail to address the issues that have made GGH unbearable. At one time it was a wonderful place to work, with an amazing team! Lately, the constant working short staffed, lack of supports and understanding from management, and the culture have created an unpleasant work environment to say the least. I really feel for the new staff and the patients there!
Pros
The floor staff
Cons
Lack of support, work short staffed, management, culture

Great Employer, Poor Management
Nurse (Former Employee) - Nursing - 2 June 2021
Co-workers were great and helpful. Some Directors are young and inexperienced in conflict resolution and scheduling. Instead of supporting their team, they fuel the fire and bring down morale, with their passive aggressive attitude, which is unfortunate during these challenging times. There were constant changes with people leaving the department or resigning.
Pros
Rate of pay
Cons
Poor Leadership

Toxic lifers
Dietary Aide (Former Employee) - Guelph, ON - 17 January 2021
In the dietary field, the job was repetitive which allowed the lifers to bully the playground kids a.ka. co-workers. Management is aloof and unaware of anything going on in the department. The positive, was working with the patients, and bringing some joy to there day.
Pros
Done by 3pm
Cons
Lifers

Great people
SENIOR BUYER (Current Employee) - Guelph, ON - 5 November 2018
I enjoy working at GGH. The people are fantastic and it is great to be part of a team that is helping others. I am proud to work, serving the people of my community. The most difficult part of my job is the lack of funding available to Healthcare. So much more could be done with more funding.

Small town hospital with a good focus on clinical patients
Pharmacy Technician (Current Employee) - Guelph, ON - 29 October 2018
This hospital is small (200 beds or so) and is very quaint. The pharmacy department is a 30 employees or so, where the attitude between pharmacists and technicians is friendly and jovial. As NAPRA standards come in to play, this hospital is due for some major overhauls in its sterile procedure space and may be under construction in the future. CPOE, EMAR and bar coding all to be established starting in early 2019.
Pros
Department opens at 7am and closes at 9pm, therefore no night shift.
Cons
Director retiring early 2019
