As expected of a government organization, it can be slow sometimes. You can see people just cruising and folks that are just past their prime and should not be leading anymore.

Good place to work

Resident Care Aide (Former Employee) - Dawson Creek, BC - 9 October 2021

Very fast paced. Usually worked short staffed. Loved working with the elderly. Worked with some staff that where there only for the pay cheque. The ones that lover their job went above and beyond their duties. The hardest part of the job was the work load. Did not like working nights-not enough staff.

Pros

lots of work available

Cons

heavy work load

This job can be rewarding and pays quite well but can be stressful at times.

Life Skills Worker (Current Employee) - Terrace, BC - 28 November 2019

I have enjoyed working with mental health and addictions clients but the field is constantly changing with more psychosocial rehabilitative practices being put in. This has been both a good and bad thing as some earlier practices were put in place for reasons and many things have been changed back when we found the new practices were not working out. There have been many challenges along the way. I work in a 24 hour facility and it seems to be often understaffed so if someone calls in sick it is not unusual to work a 16 hour shift which can get quite tiring. I would prefer not to work such long hours. I feel I have learned a lot from the job but might like to try some thing in a different location.

Difficult to advance career.

Clinical Practice Lead (Current Employee) - Smithers, BC - 17 February 2018

I have found it difficult to advance a career, even after significant educational opportunities completed. It seems upper management has a pre conceived plan as to whom they want where... and if you are not part of the plan, or they are not aware of you - you have little to no chance of advancement.
