Royal Inland Hospital Employee Review

Pros and cons

Medical Transcriptionist (Former Employee) - Kamloops, bc - 27 February 2022

Management is usually understanding of illness or home/special emergencies, and they listen to you if you have a complaint or suggestion but may not always do/be able to do anything about it. Benefits are good; salary is above average for same job elsewhere. Parking around the hospital is not good so have to walk from residential area, which is hard for a worker with a disability. 99% of coworkers are kindly, but Union protects workers who don't seem to care about the quality of their work and mean/toxic people, which is stressful for workers just trying to do a good job and feel safe at work. Job morale in my dept is low. You do bad work--no one says anything. You do great work/go above and beyond--no one says anything. Do bad work and get paid the same as one who does great work. Do amazing work and not get immunized--get fired.

Pros

Most coworkers are pleasant, most mgmt is pleasant, pay is above average for same job elsewhere, mgmt willing to help but can't always for budget

Cons

A bit of fear mongering which scares you into doing better work, limited to "no" parking nearby, union protects low-effort workers

Toxic

LPN (Casual) (Former Employee) - Kamloops, BC - 13 November 2021

Very toxic place to work. If you got into nursing to care for people search elsewhere. The nursing shortage and poor management has created an uncaring toxic culture that feels unsafe to work in at times. There are many great healthcare staff on the floor; however, there are also many who are too task orientated. Undoubtedly a product of the nursing shortage. The shift coordinators are a large part of why I left tho. Walked away from nursing for good after an unpleasant discussion with a shift coordinator there. Life is too short to spend it unhappy, overworked, stressed, under paid, broken, and unappreciated.

Pros

Some great nurses and healthcare staff

Cons

Poor parking, unsafe working conditions, underpaid for how fast paced and unsafe the job is, toxic culture, poor management, understaffed.

The worst

LICENSED PRACTICAL NURSE (Current Employee) - Kamloops, BC - 11 February 2021

Worst management , not supportive of staff, just a toxic and horrible place to work. Most employees cry before and after shifts. Unsafe for patients breeds burn out and drains the life out of you
