horrible company

Nurse Clinician (Former Employee) – Oshawa, ON – 14 November 2018

over staffed with middle management and upper management
give jobs to unqualified nurses because they are friends with management or are modified
don't give equal opportunities to RN's unless your a buddy of a manager. pluck Rn's in middle management positions without qualification or proper skills to do job, must be buddy buddy with a current manager to get position. Don't promote nursing with degree, just say your going to get degree and your hired
Also don't like to follow collective agreements, give seminars to management on how to not follow collective agreements and like to force employees to file union grievances and "take their chances that it will get dropped by employee. They also like to humiliate employees that have to use union !!!!

Pros

good pension only if your full time

Cons

promote wrong people to good positions cause they know someone in that department

Helpful and kind

Sales Associate/Cashier (Current Employee) – Oshawa, ON – 4 May 2018

On weekdays it really busy but when the weekend rolls around it become less packed with customers. I learned how to balance the float and the deposit and how to correctly open and close the Gift shop, the supervisors are very supportive and are very flexible on schedule changes.The Hardest thing that one will encounter in working at the Gift shop is lack of inventory that it sometimes has. But it all fine because you get to put smiles on faces.

Great place to start off

Corporate Communications Intern (Former Employee) – Oshawa, ON – 4 April 2018

Did an internship here and it was a great place to learn but lacked culture. I learned a lot from my superiors but there wasn't a position to be secured at the end as my department was very small and not expanding.

Great job.

Dietary Aid (Current Employee) – Oshawa, ON – 14 March 2018

I started working at Lakeridge Health a year after high school. The job its self is simple and the people of lakeridge health are great. The pay is competitive and there are lots of room for advancement through departments. Lake ridge also offers flexible schedules for students going to school and infant encourages it. This is an excellent place to work as it is unionized and includes a pension and benefits.

Some of the dept heads were above reproach.

Nursing/Secretary/collecting data (Former Employee) – Oshawa, ON – 16 November 2017

From the time I first went to work at Oshawa General it was a great place to work. We had benefits and the workplace safety was second to none. We were proactive with patient safety and workplace ethics. Over the years it brought changes. Staff were laid off and not replaced, therefore making our workload very heavy. Nursing didn’t seem what it use to be. The standards of the hospital seem to be compromised. There was more stress. Certainly changes were needed and we had to grow but it seemed some things that were important were not a priority.

Pros

Close to home

Cons

Parking left a lot to be desired
