Shared Clinics Bookings/Registration (Current Employee) - Halifax, NS - 10 May 2022
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by Indeedjob itself is great. Environment is very political and can be "clicky" You can move around a lot once your in. Not much space for growth depending on what you do.

Stable job with good benefits
RESEARCH / ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT (Former Employee) - Halifax, NS - 16 May 2020
There are so many different departments at the IWK, there will be many different experiences as an employee. I worked as an admin; it can be pretty stressful but I always found managers to be approachable and reasonable. Pay is fair, benefits are good. Once you are in the door here, there is a lot of opportunity to move around.

My position was contract so it would be hard to accurately assess some aspects of working at the IWK.
Research Coordinator (Former Employee) - Halifax, NS - 19 February 2020
Again it is hard to assess the overall experience as I worked on a research project for one paediatric psychiatrist and did not interact with others at the IWK. I did not receive a lot of guidance on the project and often felt that my work was undervalued and not reviewed in a timely fashion.

Working at the IWK
Health and Safety Administrator (Former Employee) - Halifax, NS - 29 December 2019
I loved my job at the IWK. Unfortunately, the team I was working with was small and there was no room for me to develop further. I ended up moving to Calgary and finding new opportunities but I always miss the amazing people I worked with. We even still keep in touch!

Administrative assistant (Current Employee) - Halifax, NS - 10 December 2019
Overall a good place to get in. Administrative assistant positions rarely come up. Get a temporary and work up from there. This is how a lot of people get in.

Ward Clerk at NICU (Former Employee) - Halifax, NS - 1 December 2019
Open staff, willing to work with you to fix any issues you have. Hardest part of the job was the 12 hr shifts. Very structured day as ward clerk which I liked.

Awesome workplace with good company morale
Tier 1 Tech Support (Former Employee) - Halifax, NS - 9 March 2019
It's been a long time since I had the opportunity to work at the IWK. That said, when I worked there, I found it to be a satisfying job and work term. The people were awesome to work with and for, and the hours were reliable. Management was always pleasant and treated you as if you were not only human but actually had a clue about what you were doing. This was one of the best jobs of my career so far. I miss the atmosphere and the people.
Pros
Great Company Morale, reliable hours, could combine breaks and lunch.
Cons
No overtime

Horrible management
Utility Worker, Housekeeping Services (Former Employee) - Halifax, NS - 19 October 2018
Management treats you like you're five while acting like they're ten. They wrote me up for drinking water, wearing jeans before my shift started (even though I hadn't clocked in yet and was on my way to the locker room) and even forced me to clean a children's morgue freezer.
