Good if in union or management
Audio Visual Technician (Former Employee) - Hamilton, ON - 6 April 2023
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedHeavy on administration which reduces service for patients and funding for much needed beds, staff etc. Too many managers compared to workers. Job security for admin or health staff if unionized. Wages are good.
Pros
Not stressful
Cons
Rigid job description

Mla (Former Employee) - Hamilton, ON - 6 April 2023
Loved working here until the pandemic when they fired everyone for making a person choice on our own health and safety. Don't feel safe being pressured to do something against my own will and judgement

Good!
Registered Nurse (Current Employee) - Hamilton, ON - 18 February 2023
Good place to start. Trainings are provided. But scheduling is not a good deal. wage is a bit too low for the workload. Though there are lots of overtime opportunity.

Fast-paced place to work
Clerical Support (Current Employee) - Hamilton, ON - 17 January 2023
I would recommend HHS if you enjoy working in a fast-paced environment and enjoy face-to-face contact with out-patients. Good work-life balance. Unionized environment so seniority is everything if you want to move to another position. Overall positive experience.
Pros
no overtime, good work-life balance
Cons
some areas are very fast-paced

Decent
Business Clerk (Former Employee) - Hamilton, ON - 21 December 2022
Pay was decent, Vax mandate ruined a lot of careers. A lot of people we're fired based on a medical decision. No one seemed to care, Union has been slow to represent.
Pros
once a year free small coffee....
Cons
Vax mandate - Mask Mandate - no free parking - costly food options - No perks

Culture was inclusive and management was fair and open
Administration (Former Employee) - Remote - 19 July 2022
I felt that the management was fair and encouraging. The team was very helpful. Difficult onboarding with Covid, and staff working remotely. There is lots of support and opportunity for growth.

You cant have your cake and eat it to
Environmental Service Worker (Former Employee) - Hamilton, ON - 8 June 2022
You are not guaranteed any hours and you are not supposed to get a second job. Not offered hours to pick up all that often however during the interview this is not what they tell you. You do not work with your coworkers, you are competing directly with them.

Overall alright organization
Rehabilitation Therapist (Current Employee) - Hamilton, ON - 26 April 2022
Fair pay compared to other organizations (but hardly enough to live on your own in Hamilton though) and generally good ability to pick up more hours, even for casual or part time employees. Alright benefits or good lieu pay instead of benefits if you aren't regular PT or FT. Good job security since many positions within HHS are unionized. However there is little or no room for advancement within the organization depending on your role. Good pension available for all staff. Depending on your unit, being a rehabilitation therapist often comes with some abuse from patients which is accepted as part of the job, especially in ABI. Since the pandemic staff moral has decreased significantly, but overall it is still an alright place to work regardless.
Pros
Good lieu pay instead of benefits, good pension, Fair shift distribution, little pressure to pick up overtime -however it is often offered.
Cons
often a lack of action from management when issues or improvements are brought up, little room to move up within the organization, have to pay for parking or walk far to get free street parking, no performance based raises or bonuses (all unionized)

New grad
Registered Nurse (Current Employee) - Hamilton, ON - 15 April 2022
being here for a short time, if you are a new grad its a good place to start, you're able to transfer to various sites around HHS depending on your manager.
Pros
Good Team

Good place to work overall
Psychometrist (Former Employee) - Hamilton, ON - 27 March 2022
Overall was a great place to work. Some cliques at times and sometimes I felt deliberately left out of our little department but that was attributed to two people in particular, and not the department itself. I would recommended working here.

Good place for work
Senior Infrastructure Analyst (Current Employee) - Hamilton, ON - 24 March 2022
good place and fair payment but you can't imagine a higher level career path. There is no chance to advance in your career. No training or encourage you to learn new things
