Stressful and understaffed
Registered Nurse (RN) (Current Employee) - Ajax, ON - 22 April 2022
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedThe emergency department is understaffed and has very limited options for orientation. Lots of new nurses teaching new nurses how to do something they hardly know themselves. Management and supervisors are incredibly supportive and compensation is fair.

Good place to work, nice staff, demanding management.
Registered Nurse (Former Employee) - Ontario - 6 May 2022
Good sense of teamwork. Fast-paced. Sometimes under-appreciated by management. However, there is a great sense of community. Long hours depending on position and often unsafe patient to nurse ratios.
Pros
Helpful staff
Cons
long hours lots of overtime (and not always wanting to pay you for it).

Poor management
RPN (Current Employee) - Oshawa, ON - 7 March 2022
The corporation doesn’t want to pay their employees and makes them fight for everything and their union doesn’t help . Not a good working environment. The occupational health team attempt at any moment to not pay you and when you fight for your pay you worked they don’t pay you. Absolutely horrible place to work for. You must have a very very thick skin, the nurses will find a click and stay in it. Then the cleaning crew won’t help, so if you are a good worker I don’t recommend going there as they will take advantage of you anytime they can

Fast paced
Unit Clerk (Current Employee) - Oshawa, ON - 17 February 2022
New system makes it very stressful about job security. Can be a very negative work environment and management does not deal with issues. The pay is really good one of the most rewarding aspects.
Pros
Good pay
Cons
Job security

Big Organization - Experience Will Vary
Registered Nurse (Current Employee) - Durham Region, ON - 11 February 2022
Because Lakeridge is quite a while organization, your work experience will be w really different depending on your specific location. However I found the interview process pretty smooth and straightforward, if a little slow. Salary could be higher but that’s everywhere in Ontario sadly.
Pros
Wide range of locations and unit types
Cons
Stressful, short staffed constantly

Fast paced
Service Associate (Former Employee) - Oshawa, ON - 13 January 2022
Tough job but it can be rewarding. Pay is decent and chance for advancement exists if you're willing to put in the work. Would recommend. Sometimes you're left to figure things out yourself but for the most part you're supported
Pros
Compensation
Cons
Fast paced Stressful

Poor management in most parts. Managers trying to manage cross sites. Always short so lots of hours..
Busy, underpaid and overworked. Managers that are not nurses trying to manage floors like ICU and ER. No perks to working for Lakeridge. Don’t forget you’re a number, not a person as an employee of the hospital. Terrible HR even pre pandemic.
Pros
Pension if full time
Cons
Underpaid, poor union, benefits are the worst for CUPE

No support from management
Service Associate (Former Employee) - Oshawa - 2 November 2021
Was an SA (service associate ) for 8 yrs part time. If you knew your job you're fine, supervisors are friendly, day can go quick. However they often times will leave you to your own devices and if you make a mistake, be prepared to be written up/warned whether you were adequately trained or not. And upper mangement straight up doesn't seem to care. Can be a high stress place to work and not much appreciation given.
Pros
Good pay
Cons
No Support from management

Stressful work
Staffing Clerk (Current Employee) - Oshawa, ON - 17 June 2021
Work is very flexible due to work from home and manager is very considerate. So many shift being offered to part time, casual. Need to be flexible to get a shift and you need to be multi task to finish your work on time.
Pros
Work from home
Cons
stressful work

3E continuing complex care Ajax
Student Nurse (Former Employee) - Ajax, ON - 7 April 2021
This floor is filled with cliques and there is no team work what do ever. I would not want to be a patient to a couple nurses on that floor that’s for sure. 98% of the nurses on the floor do not welcome students with open arms and are not willing to teach as they would rather talk all day and not take breaks and collect overtime that way! Some of the nurses are absolutely horrible to the other staff (cleaning staff and PSWs) There are about 3 lovely nurses on this floor.
Pros
None
Cons
Cliques and awful nurses

Supportive Team Environment
Registered Nurse (Former Employee) - Oshawa, ON - 6 August 2020
The medical and support staff are, for most floors, great. I loved working here. The management is a bit off in terms of creating a productive work environment. Front line management have a huge portfolio. On site training was good but has tapered off .. as it has everywhere.
Pros
Collegial team environment (my floor), pay and benefits, educational opportunities
Cons
Management favours a punitive approach when dealing with issues. Time off is hard to get.

Volunteer spiritual and religious care
Compationate care (Current Employee) - Oshawa, ON - 20 May 2020
This was a satisfying roll, as a volunteer I was able to console patients who are palliative at the end of thier life to patients who are healing from surgery to come together with different denominations to be edified and uplifted with the good word, spiritual energy.
I was grateful to be able to lift the feeble knees that hang down.

Student Placement
Student Practical Nurse (Consolidation / Medicine) (Former Employee) - Oshawa, ON - 18 April 2020
It was an awesome experience and I learned a lot from my training and from my preceptor and other nurses. They work together in collaboration and the staff are kind and willing to support each other. I really admire the nurses work a ethics and the working environment.

It was an excellent student placement
Student Placement, Admitting Clerk (Former Employee) - Ajax, ON - 10 April 2020
I had the experience of working in different departments, some slower paced- like general admitting- to fast paced like the emergency department. It was an overall excellent experience, that let some of strengths shine through under pressure.
