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
