Very supportive and conducive to learning
Mental Health Outreach Worker (Former Employee) - Vancouver, BC - 18 May 2022
There were so many opportunities to attend webinars and trainings. I had regular supervision meetings with the team lead to go through my caseload in case I needed guidance or support yet I was also given a lot of independence and trust to make my own decisions about how I worked with clients. I also feel that they pay fairly.

Alright place to work - horribly organized, stuck in past
Mental Health Support Worker (Former Employee) - Vancouver, BC - 28 July 2019
They still feed the residents using the pyramid food method which is not the prevailing dietary standard of today.
The adminstration and documents were archaic and unorganized. They were in binders stuffed to the brim with records, etc. per person. I would imagine it could be much easier to do online - as many of the other sectors were transferring over.
When I had my first annual review, the superiors brought up a few things that had happened a very long time ago which I found to be very disorienting. There was no indication the whole time I had done anything wrong - and the information was relayed to them incorrectly in the first place. I really don't like that they had this idea of me as a worker for months without telling me and letting me defend myself.
12 hour shifts are nice. They go by surprisingly quickly.
Pros
free lunches, work four days a week
Cons
no communication, miscommunication, poor training

Very racist
Mental Health Worker (Current Employee) - Abbotsford, BC - 3 May 2019
The only racist company I have ever worked for. Yes they hire people of color but they do not make you feel comfortable and if you are under probation be very careful, one report from someone and they fire you especially if you are of color. Avoid at all costs.

Supportive
Supported Independent Living (SIL) Outreach Worker (Current Employee) - Vancouver, BC - 13 April 2018
Best employer I have ever had. Outreach and housing is my area. The hardest part of the jobs is walking along side people when they are going through difficult situations.

Good Company
Cook (casual) (Current Employee) - Abbotsford, BC - 23 December 2016
MPA is a good company to work for and the kitchen staff are all friendly and fun to be around. There needs to be some improvements made outside of the kitchen with management and understanding that it is not a big facility but stil needs a few more staff for cleanliness purposes. It would also be nice if there were better lines of communication between BC Housing and Fraser Health so things that need to be done, get done.
Pros
Good people to work with
Cons
Management could be better outside of kitchen
