Great people

Indeed featured review

As long as you are willing to work. Have ethics and patience, this job is great. The company is generally very good. The residents are living their last days, and paying quite well to be respected and cared for.

Pros

Benefits, rrsp etc

Cons

Pay is lower than average for this position, but it is not unionized

Salary too cheap

$22 / hr for a building operator. What a joke....... After on site interview , manager never called me back for updates. It seems like a very disorganized company. Even managers dont know what they are doing.

Management will take advantage of your poor health

Suffered a significant mental health event which I did my due diligence for by communicating with management the best I could given the situation. Was immediately fired (though treated as though I quit the position) for showing frustration with being harassed about sick days despite not being able to do anything about it.Prior to this event, I recall being expected to find fill-ins for time off taken well in advance on my own. This was very frustrating as a young person who was just trying to get on track with getting a drivers license ahead of going to college.

Pros

The right coworkers can be supportive and will help you learn.

Cons

Favoritism, Management.

Administrative Coordinator Long Term Care Homes

There is ALOT to know for basically a minimum wage job. They give to such a small place to work. Cramped in a little area. When they built the building they weren't thinking of a spot for admins. You support everyone in the building but you have NO SUPPORT. Non Unionized position means they don't have to pay you what your worth. When you ask for a raise they wont and they say, "We could never pay you what you are worth." Terrible. Hospital pays more per hour than Shannex. After working a year a McDonalds you would make more there than Shannex. Not even asked what a fair rate would be, just flat out NO. Shannex Blue Book page 32 they want all to go ABOVE & BEYOND in there roles but company sets those goals for everyone but themselves at head office. They don't have to go ABOVE & BEYOND to keep outstanding employees because your DISPOSABLE. They would rather high turn around rates and rates of paying fair wages for great employees that would stay longer. Best part of the job getting to know all the residents and their family's and being there for them all. They become like your family too. You get to guide a lot of residents & family's through a changeling time, you get to hold their hands and support them into Long Term Care and if your doing your job right making them all see it can be a easy transition and enjoyable.Which company did exit interviews so they could hear what they are doing right and what they are doing wrong. But they will never do that.

Pros

Meeting new residents and families

Cons

You set alot of people up for success in their roles but you get nothing, Employees use you to do their work and they sit back and don't stress.

Terrible management

What is the best part of working at the company?Meeting some good and kind colleagues What is the most stressful part about working at the company?Manager who’s not cooperative, not pro-staff and workforce who cannot do their job. Both always have a lot of reasons. I would say they are so mean. The management wasn’t supportive with one’s career growth. (Shannex Losier Hall)What is the work environment and culture like at the company?Hard work is a must and back ache is waving if you will work there.What is a typical day like for you at the company?Sometimes good but most of the time 😞

Could see understaffing was how they operated

I could see right from the get go that this employer struggled to provide adequate staffing for the responsibilities they accepted in senior care. I couldn't in good faith work here and be alright with that.

Pros

They pay you money

Cons

Poor employee moral, consistent understaffing, weak union

Good pay and workplace

This company pays well and provides opportunity to advance your nursing skills and education. Shifts are short at times but that’s anywhere in health care right now. Most co-workers and management are helpful and kind. If you’re considering working here I would definitely suggest giving it a try!

Management need a clean-out

Management treat "most" of their staff very poorly. The professionalism is very hard to find. Staff are talked down to and talked over. No respect shown at all. Unless you're one of the ones who get praised for work. Yet they spent most their time hanging out in management's office.

Residents first, caring teams

Parkland is a lovely place to work. Our residents make it especially great. We have a lot of committed and engaged team members. I am proud of this group of employees. Remember everyone, the grass is greener where you water it.

Fast Paced, lovely residents and staff

Time management skills are a must to keep up with the work demand but as a CCA you generally have a partner as long as you’re not short staff and this make it very manageable. Residents are lovely and make the job feel so so worth it

For profit not for seniors

Are not as client centred as they profess to be. Once you become aware it is a for profit company you quickly realize the corners that are being cut. Too bad the majority of the buildings are beautiful and could be such a great place for seniors to live

Food Service Supervisor was very supportive,

Food Service Supervisor was very supportive. Other staff were very helpful and fun to work with. Didn't work there very long but overall had a great experience.

Personally rewarding

I find this place very rewarding. Working with the elderly is truly a special experience. Sadly when I was hired, they made a lot of promises that after almost 2 years I'm assuming none will be upheld. The promise of advancement with wage compensation was a complete lie. Two years with nothing but great "reviews" and all I received was .05 cents more. Claiming that's what the "pay grid" allowed for. Constantly under staffed, over worked and way under paid. The coworkers are like a little family as cliché as that sounds which is great. Management is mediocre at best. Honestly the job it self would be great if I could actually live off of only this job. Sadly not the reality. The GM also seems to reward the lazy workers and punish the dedicated ones. Always being asked to go above and beyond your title in extreme ways with zero compensation. Some times even without a thank you.

Good nursing home

My time at Shannex was for about 2 yrs, i made really good friendships and got to take care of some pretty cool individuals. Like most homes we we're often short staffed but made it through each day
