Bilingual Accounts Payabler Advisor
Bilingual Accounts Receivable Advisor (Former Employee) – Cambridge, ON – 9 November 2018
Would return in a heart beat to this company. They are awesome to their employees and treat them like human beings not a number.
Lots of space for advancement.

Management is horrible
Server/Bartender (Former Employee) – Cambridge, ON – 2 November 2018
The management and most staff only care about themselves as opposed to others when your suppose to be working as a TEAM you really are not. They are always understaffed therefore there is always times when you are working short shifts and management will not help as they are paid salary therefore will leave when they want to and do not care. There is no consequences to staff members when there is conflict that arises (i.g co-worker is bulling you, you tell management they say they will talk to them, but do not), co-workers can treat anyone rudely no matter what, and if you are a hard worker they will use that to their advantage especially when you are the only one doing the extra cleaning, this is like high school as every staff member has their own clique. This place is horrible with their cleanliness, and they do not treat the elderly there with the respect they deserve or all fairly.
Pros
none
Cons
management only cares about themselves, uncleanly, no free meals, staff steal
Productive and fun work place
Server (Current Employee) – Ottawa, ON – 18 October 2018
I am working almost a year now I think that’s the best retirement home to work in Ottawa. Our management team and lead team is always support and very welcoming people.
Pros
Free food understanding staff
Cons
None
Not the best place to be
PSW (Former Employee) – Newmarket, ON – 27 September 2018
CHRONICALLY short staffed and residents are suffering. high workload and demands. dont recommend it. night shifts are doing baths at 5am! useless management that does not know what they are doing because their actions contradict with Revera's values and beliefs. everybody runs away from there because it is a mad house!!!!
Good place to work
Personal Support Worker (Former Employee) – Cambridge, ON – 16 September 2018
Retirement living but long term care work alot of times. Staff and management good to work with. Pay a lot lower than most PSW jobs, but a set schedule that doesnt change unless you want more hours.
One of the worst places I have ever worked
Reception (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 16 September 2018
Residents were a pleasure to work with. Working reception I saw a lot of sketchy stuff going on. No communication between departments, useless management, no job/hour security. When one of the employees was off sick (we were understaffed) I had to work 18 days in a row, 4 of those shifts being 8am - 8pm. When I got sick due to the outbreak at the time, I was not compensated or offered any help, just met with attitude. Nursing staff was understaffed, poor treatment of residents was a norm, management didn’t care so much about the residents but more about filling beds as fast as possible to make more money. Overall I loved working with the residents however the management made me sick to my stomach. Retirement and nursing homes should not be run by companies like this, in my opinion, they should be run by nurses who actually care.
Pros
Residents
Cons
Everything else
Revolving door of incompetent, abusive managers
Employee (Current Employee) – British Columbia – 27 August 2018
Run by harassing, aggressive, abusive managers who use their position to hire family, and bully and intimidate long term staff. Toxic work environment
Pros
The residents are very friendly
Cons
Unfair, ineffective, and abusive management
Dangerous for all!!
RPN (Former Employee) – Burlington, ON – 25 August 2018
If you like a high stress, extremely fast-paced environment, with no help from management while you perform many jobs not even remotely under your job title then work here. Residents are at risk and they don't even know it. With nurses handing out medications to 40 plus residents over 8 floors around meal times and sleep times along with answering phones, call bells, dealing with issues from residents that should be in a proper long term care residence (but why lose their rent each month right!?), handling emergencies that are not even nursing related, dealing with angry family members after management set high expectations but don't staff properly to accommodate them, not calling in support staff when management had earlier stated they have been funded to do so and many MANY more ill working conditions this is a truly a recipe for disaster with nursing licences on the line and residents at risk. They really need to have two nurses per shift to properly accommodate the needs of the building.
Pros
Nice front line staff, beautiful building
Cons
everything else
Unprofessional management

Director of care is very rude. Very disrespectful. Its unionized but U pay the dues but they cant help you when u need one. the shift load is too much. Some PSW staff are rude.

Awful Management
Dietary Aide (Former Employee) – Port Perry, ON – 5 August 2018
Very understaffed but they don’t look to hire new people, they just expect their current staff to pick up the slack for the missing employees. Managers will never help out if they’re short staffed so the few employees there have to do everything on their own while managers go on smoke breaks every half hour. They treat the majority of their staff with very little respect then wonder why people call in sick all the time. I did really enjoy most of the residence and it’s a shame because if management wasn’t as unorganized and amateur as it is, this would have been a nice place to work.
Pros
Nice residence, some nice staff
Cons
Rude senior staff, poorly managed
This was a very unhappy place to work.
Server (Former Employee) – Maple Ridge, BC – 13 July 2018
This was a frustrating experience. Management was incredibly inexperienced and irresponsible. Friendships were favoured over best interest of the company. Expectations were high for low pay. I loved the residents, loathed the staff and management.
Terrible management. Not a good place to work.
Housekeeper (Former Employee) – Burlington, ON – 20 June 2018
Will rip you off every opportunity they get. Always given extra work because management will never move from their desk to help out. Not enough staff because they can't keep anyone long term due to poor management.
Pros
None
Cons
Hard work, bad pay, rude management
productive and fun

Lack of job security
Accounts Payable Documentation Clerk (Former Employee) – Cambridge, ON – 10 May 2018
One never knew when the upper management would decide to do a restructuring. That's how I ended up losing my job. They got rid of my entire department.
Pros
Nice office
Cons
Insecurity
Worst management.
Dietary Aide (Former Employee) – Riverbend, AB – 3 May 2018
WORST MANAGEMENT. If you are a student who just wants to meet the ends this job isn't for you. The management here is the worst and don't give a care to their employees especially those who were under probation on the dining room. they ask too much and so many responsibilities for a little span of 4 hours. also, I felt underpaid for all the that needs to be done. the only reason I stayed in this company was the residence most of them are very appreciative and kind to the servers but in terms of the management the worst. except for the chefs.
Pros
Free Food even though it isnt good
Cons
The management
A rewarding experience
SERVER, Colonel By Retirement Residence (Former Employee) – Ottawa, ON – 18 April 2018
Working in hospitality was very rewarding, and I was very lucky to have coworkers who made coming to work enjoyable. However management was not great at the time, though I believe it has changed since I have left
