Productive, Supportive Place to work
Secretary 9 (Current Employee) – London, ON – 2 July 2018
London Health Sciences is a fantastic place to work! I have been employed since 2012 and I have been fortunate enough to work in many different areas around the hospital which has made my career path extremely successful.
Pros
Excellent Staff
Cons
Management Turnover
Great job with good benefits, as long as you don't mind incompetent management
Computer Support Specialist (Former Employee) – London, ON – 7 September 2018
Worked from 2005 - 2016 in the IT department. Excellent staff to work with, most have the right attitude. Management is lacking and has contributed to a culture problem. For an organization that has so much involvement in mental health, I was surprised by how little management actually cared.
Pros
Salary, Benefits
Cons
Management
Difficult to advance or have a life
Sterile Processing Attendant (Regular Part-Time) (Current Employee) – London, ON – 25 July 2018
Part time is difficult. Have been there for five years and never going to get full time so no benefits at all. Really think my work is valuable so very disappointing.
Great staff and teams
Unit Clerk - Pediatric Inpatients (Current Employee) – London, ON – 25 June 2018
i spend my days making sure i have all my paperwork up to date and that i have an understand of each special cause i have on the floor, i have worked in a few different floors and love my job.
Good/Toxic
ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT (Former Employee) – London, ON – 11 June 2018
LHSC can either be a good environment or a toxic environment to work in. There is a lot of "Friend" hiring that takes place.
Wages for most part of okay, but cost of living compared to wages should be looked at increasing.

LHSC doesn't care anymore
Registered Nurse (Former Employee) – London, ON – 7 June 2018
LHSC is an organization that sadly, doesn't care about it's employees or the patient. Management continues to pile work on it's front line employees, who are constantly working short. Overworked, overworked, overworked.
I was proud to be an employee of LHSC for many years, but lately, I was no longer proud to say I was employed there.
The pay is comparable to other organizations thanks to the Unions, but job satisfaction is, I believe, at an all-time LOW. The reason I got out now was because morale is terrible, and my body just couldn't keep up with the physical demands that are continuously being expected.

Pays well, poor management team
Environmental Service Worker (Former Employee) – Service Support Worker – 19 March 2018
Worked as a casual student worker for 2 summers. Fellow coworkers make the environment a positive atmosphere. Unfortunately management is evasive and out of touch with their subordinates and the hours are sporadic and unpredictable.
Pros
Pays well, fair amount of breaks and lunches
Cons
Casual workers not covered by union, hour sporadic and unpredictable
Job Experience

Loved working here
Student Nurse (Former Employee) – London, ON – 4 September 2017
I really enjoyed working for LHSC I worked mostly at University Hospital on the 10th floor. Everyone I worked with were smart, helpful and kind. Have nothing but good things to say. Everyone works well in the interdisciplinary team.
Great Place Not so great people
Research Assistant (Former Employee) – London, ON – 5 July 2017
The work environment was fine but the management styles and various pressures on the upper echelon translate down wards producing a huge gap in respect to those lower on the food chain.
If you can find an equally well paying job elsewhere - take it.
Registered Nurse (RN) (Current Employee) – London, ON – 20 May 2017
I find it very challenging to work in a place where senority counts for everything. There is no reward for ongoing professional development, continuing your education, making yourself the most qualified and best candidate for the job. Senority rules here. Our bedside nurses have graduate degrees, while our management has community college diplomas.
Pros
Great colleagues, Hoopp
Cons
Shift work, poor benefits, senority rules, poor work life balance, vacation black out periods, missing holidays with your kids (Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc)
A super work environment
Emergency Medicine Billing Clerk (Former Employee) – London, ON – 13 May 2017
I really enjoyed my job here and learned a lot about various types of billings but I missed the contact with patients, other staff and physicians as I worked alone for the most part.
Pros
Good pay and benefits
Cons
Monotonous at times
Portering
PORTER (Current Employee) – London, ON – 10 May 2017
A quick paced, progressive workplace, where shift work and part time hours are often required. The organization offers some training opportunities, but more internal opportunities would benefit employees.
I enjoy LHSC.
Pharmacy Technician (Former Employee) – London, ON – 16 March 2017
I enjoy working at LHSC. This employer aides the employee in areas other workplaces don't. Employees can enjoy physical activities during their lunch breaks, join courses to enhance their work experience.
Working at LHSC is not just a place to work it is a place to experience and explore and hone your abilities.
