MLT (Current Employee) - Oakville, ON - 17 September 2023

A lot of politics in management and this means, it is very hard to get anything done through them. Good co-workers but poor work/life balance due to poor staff retention, leading to more stress.

Not the best

Helper (Current Employee) - Oakville, ON - 10 September 2023

Undertrained and constantly scheduled in areas I'm not trained for, communication is abysmal and the scheduling system is the worst. The amount of work you do is entirely dependant on which area you are scheduled in and the pay is relatively low compared to other hospitals.

Nice people but behind the times

Practice Educator (Former Employee) - Tri site - 4 August 2023

Generally I found the staff at HHS welcoming and friendly. It keeps the feeling of being a small community where everyone knows each other and they do make some superficial efforts to provide employee recognition and reward. But I came from another hospital and was struck at how behind the times they are- in areas like clinical knowledge, current practice, scopes of practice, policy, and organizational structure. I’d heard the same observation from others who had worked there. But I was honestly shocked when I started working there about how profound it is, and by the resistance of physicians, staff, and management to adapt to more modern practice. Like many in leadership there, I had an very large portfolio (what 2-3 people should have shared) which significantly limited my ability to make any meaningful change (hence why they remain behind the times!).

Pros

Welcoming culture, friendly staff

Cons

Out of date practice, poor HR, very limited opportunity for growth

Great team but low wage

Registered Practical Nurse (Current Employee) - Oakville, ON - 21 July 2023

I like the team members here. Most of them are respectful and supportive. However, the wage is painfully low. I hear other hospital RPNs got wage increase recently but nothing is happening here as far as wage goes 😕

Good hospital

RN (Current Employee) - Oakville, ON - 28 June 2023

In summary, my experience with Halton Healthcare was nothing short of exceptional. The dedication, expertise, and compassion exhibited by the staff exceeded my expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend Halton Healthcare to anyone in need of outstanding medical care, as they have truly set a benchmark for excellence in healthcare provision.

Stressful and unappreciated

Laboratory (Current Employee) - Oakville - 22 June 2023

Modern building, well equipped with some caring staff and volunteers. What goes on behind the scenes is different. This lab staff being overworked in a toxic environment. This is well known by management and ignored. Too much time and money spent by management making the community believe that they care about staff and patients.

Horrible place to work

Anonymous (Former Employee) - Oakville, ON - 10 June 2023

This hospital acts more like a US corporation than a hospital. Finances and saving money are more important to senior leadership than patient care or supporting staff. I have no doubt that there is a high level of corruption in this "corporation". Staff up to the management level are treated horribly, any level above that either spend their time patting each others backs or protecting themselves and each other for the corrupt behavior. Staffing is terrible because the hospital doesn't care, hence so is patient care. Do better Halton Healthcare, you're a hospital Act like one.

Pros

OK place to work until they no longer need you

Cons

toxic culture, hospital doesn't care, high corruption

Great Place to work

Clinical Resource Nurse (Current Employee) - Oakville, ON - 7 June 2023

Halton is a great place to work, all the people around you are nice and respectful. I am an RN so pay depends on grid and not enough. The management is great, I feel like they listen. The workplace culture is different compared to other place I worked, you feel like you belong.

Good workplace

Nurse Practitioner (Current Employee) - Oakville, ON - 28 April 2023

Beautiful hospital with very supportive staff and colleagues. Management and leadership are very supportive of my professional goals and are flexible with schedule. Only negative is pay is not competitive compared to other hospitals for NPs.

Awful

Registered Practical Nurse (Former Employee) - Oakville, ON - 14 April 2023

Management is awful, they couldn’t care less about you or patient safety . Always short staffed and if by chance you may be fully staffed , they pull staff away. Everyday working here I was risking my licence and sanity

Short staffed, unsupportive management

Registered Practical Nurse (Current Employee) - Oakville, ON - 3 January 2023

This hospital is one of the cheaper organizations in regards to RPN pay in the area. Nice new interior, but absolutely atrocious operations. Constantly short and gaslit by upper management. Unsafe patient ratios. Not a conducive environment for learning or work-life balance.

Like Every Other Hospital

Registered Pharmacy Technician (Current Employee) - Oakville, ON - 29 November 2022

Just like every other hospital inpatient pharmacy. The automation is nice. The BS that goes on with Management behind closed doors is just like it is at every hospital I have worked at.

Pros

Up to date automation - no cartfill.

Cons

They don't pay overtime. Sick policy is stupid and screws over everyone.

As a summer student, it was a great learning opportunity.

I worked as a helper for Halton Healthcare Services, and it was one of the best places I have worked at as a student. I would recommend this job to students who are interested in working in healthcare to see what the environment is like and whether or not this is where the want to be.

Pros

Learning experiences

Cons
