You’re just another number to this company

Personal Support Worker (PSW) (Current Employee) - London, ON - 21 September 2022

Zero appreciation or support from management. You work without supplies and often times short staffed because they can’t keep staff around. Horrible work place!

Good if you want to build skills

RN (Current Employee) - London, ON - 21 August 2022

Coworkers are great and a good place to learn skills, but you will likely not feel very supported by management and you will be constantly understaffed.

Extremely Poor Experience

Office Clerk (Former Employee) - London, ON - 17 August 2022

The current CEO needs to take a deep, hard, look at the organization.The rampant nepotism and protectionism that occurs working for the business (make no mistake, it's a business) is absolutely terrible.You're a disposable number.

Pros

Pay is decent.

Cons

Only if you're not related to someone.

Corporate Healthcare to a T

Registered Nurse (Current Employee) - London, ON - 12 July 2022

A hospital that has grown too big for its own good. Organization is run from a corporate mindset and the purpose of this healthcare institution feels left behind.Staff are treated like cogs in the machine and if you try to speak up to bring issues to managements’ attention you will be targeted as a bad fit.Coworkers were kind and made the position tolerable. Mistreatment and assault of staff by patients will not be addressed by the employer despite a “zero tolerance” policy.Pay is average as most positions are unionized and thus no different pay wise than any other hospital. Benefits however are poorly implemented with the hospital almost always underpaying requiring a grievance for most claims.

Very fortunate to be unionized!

RN Staff Nurse (Former Employee) - London, ON - 7 July 2022

The union and LHSC is strong and protects nurses - especially those with disabilities. I will never work at a non-unionized hospital again! Overall I had a wonderful experience at lhsc

Pros

union

Cons

pay, staff shortage

Not a bad place to work, but not great either

Specialist (Current Employee) - London, ON - 15 June 2022

Big organization, room for movement, but the politics involved are outrageous. Alot of front line staff are awesome, and the people you deal with will be awesome. Senior leadership though is so detached and has no idea how things happen.

Professional environment; interesting work

IT Support Specialist (Former Employee) - London, ON - 25 May 2022

A day at work was generally enjoyable, I learned a lot of things and was exposed to many different points of view. The hardest part of the job was generally due to outside reasons, not caused by LHSC itself. Mostly I worked self - directed which I found to be most fulfilling.

Great organization for low-achieving leaders

Admin (Former Employee) - London, ON - 27 April 2022

Huge org and your experience will depend on where you end up. Turnover seems pretty high. Top heavy with leaders making a lot of money and most don't know what they are doing. great place to be if you enjoy poor leadership, internal politics and all your coworkers being miserable.

Pros

Good benefits, paid sick time, awesome retirement (HOOP)

Cons

High turnover, workloads can be unpredictable, old/traditional attitudes

Good place to get experience

Recruiter (Former Employee) - Human Resources - 25 April 2022

A good place for a student placement. You will likely get a job from your placement. There is constant change all the time. The lack of stability in policies, team structure, leadership, processes, and expectations wears away at you.

Easy work orders. Management to focused on looking good.

Craftsman (Current Employee) - London, ON - 19 April 2022

Very low pay for tradesmen, 40,000 a year less base salary then some red seal trades. Managers focused on whatever gets them promoted, no respect for tax payer Dollars.

Toxic

Ambulatory Clerk (Former Employee) - Emergency - 13 March 2022

Very busy and stressful.Do not train very well, got trained by 4 different people who did things different. Therefore it was very confusing.It was a dangerous atmosphere with people yelling, swearing, impatient and the security is not allowed to do much but try to de-esculate.There were assaults on a regular basis. I was not told about certain parts of the position before I started.

Pros

Good breaks, good pay

Cons

Long hours, poor security, poor training

Lack of leadership

Development Coordinator (Former Employee) - London, ON - 12 March 2022

The purpose of the work is wonderful. The lack of leadership means you're on your own without clear direction. Zero job security, and no career development.

Too top heavy

Staffing Clerk (Former Employee) - VH - 5 February 2022

LHSC is too focused on their People and Cuture dept. They've completely taken the human out of Human Resources and don't care about anyone outside of HR. Nepotism is rampant. Most staff outside of HR are among the lowest paid of all hospitals in Southern Ontario.

Pros

None.

Cons

Low pay, awful hours, HR bullies. There is nowhere for clerks to go unless you have your Human Resources degree.

London Health sciences gave me the opportunity to develop and advance my skills in the Operating room. I worked with many talented and wonderful peers. The surgeons were some of the best in the world to work with .On the negative side the staff moral was low . I really enjoyed my career at LHSC.

Pros

good learning opportunities Good benefits

Cons

staffing issues ie working short

Toxic workplace

Full-time Tradesman, Facilities Management Department (Current Employee) - London, ON - 12 August 2021

There is a great divide between management and workers. We, as workers, feel like we are merely numbers. The wages seem fair at the start, but then your pay reflects the massive deductions for co-payment of pension and benefits to the tune of well over 1\3 of your pay. After 16 years I am currently looking for work elsewhere. Moral here is terrible.

Pros

Steady employment

Cons

Demoralizing atmosphere

Registered Practical Nurse (RPN) (Current Employee) - London, ON - 10 June 2021

Lots of opportunities here to learn and grow in your career. Every day is a new learning curve. The doctors, including residents make it easy to approach and inquire. I love having the Nurse Practitioner's on our team.
