You get shifted around different departments and it takes forever to get full time employment. Great people and meaningful work but management isn’t the greatest.

Management is distant and unsupportive

Housekeeper (Former Employee) - Pembroke, ON - 15 July 2023

Job itself was easy. Management were not always available and they didn’t always care about the staff. There are many ongoing adds for people to apply for housekeeper. The problem is the management. They can’t keep staff very long because management is distant and unsupportive.

Pros

Time off

Cons

Hours are not enough

Horrible Management Made Work Unnecessarily Stressful

Medical Records Clerk (Former Employee) - Pembroke, ON - 15 August 2022

Management was horrible. They do not care about their employees even though the employees are stretched to their limits and stressed 24/7. The turnover rate is nothing like I've seen before, they cannot hold onto people which shows how they treat people. This hospital has the lowest salary for this job out of all the hospitals that i have looked at. The pay is just not enough for the amount of work you are doing and amount of stress you have. However, most of the employees are amazing people who deserve to work somewhere a million times better.

It was mission impossible, terrible experience, tried my best to change and influence the work culture and improve leadership.

Health and Safety Coordinator (Former Employee) - Pembroke, ON - 26 May 2022

I was warned before accepting the job that it was toxic work environment. They were right. Leadership and work culture was the worst I have experienced. Would not recommend working or seeking healthcare there.

Toxic work environment

Lacking room for advancement

Past employee (Former Employee) - Pembroke, ON - 4 April 2018

Poor morale....often hear staff openly complaining about work environment and management. Policies on sick days before or after long weekend were very discouraging especially if attendance was exceptional for remainder of the year.

Cons

Very little room for advancement, tends to hire from outside rather than providing advancement opportunities for current staff
