Great Hospital, Great place to work
Registered Practical Nurse (Current Employee) - Kitchener, ON - 4 April 2022
I have been here for a while now and I really like it. I am able to learn a great deal more about patient care and continue to build on my skills and experiences. They pay fair and have a good amount of pick-ups available. It's a nice place to work with some really great staff members.
Pros
extra shifts, management support, team work, fair pay
Cons
older client population, food options if you forget your lunch.

Great place to work
Administrative Assistant (Former Employee) - Kitchener-Waterloo, ON - 22 December 2021
Great place to work. Can be stressful at times. The only downside is that benefits are not offered to part time staff in a traditional way. Would definitely recommend to a friend.

I enjoyed my 20 years working there
Medical Attendant (Former Employee) - Operating room/ cardiac catheterization lab - 14 January 2021
I’m recently retired, worked at St Mary’s for twenty years. Was a great place to work and grow. I have many fond memories. Learned an awful lot, enjoyed my years in the operating room, very interesting indeed. Great people and opportunities. Missing it greatly I must say.
Pros
Free lunches at times
Cons
Short staffed at times

great care given to patienrs
PSW (Current Employee) - Kitchener, ON - 9 October 2020
Work-life balance working here is better than most care facilities.. however if you do not like 12 hrs shifts don't apply. Pay & benefits the benefits are only available if full-time. The pay should be more.. but that is like all pay for PSW we're more hands on with the patients than any other medical worker. That's true of anywhere Management most management in the medical field are clueless when it vines to patients.. unless they themselves were a psw or nurse.. Overall I love working here.. as normal you deal with people from all walks of life. However most of us respect each other. That's the one thing most places lack is respect for each other.. but professionals work here!

Don't do it
MDRD (Former Employee) - Kitchener, ON - 11 September 2020
MDRD is the worst place I have ever worked in my life. My co-workers and the supervisor contributed to a toxic work life. While training, I had coworkers? Whom were training me incorrect, would go behind my back to talk garbage about me to the supervisor. You never come out of decontamination unless you were a favorite. Good luck finding someone to stay and enjoy working there.Glad I'm GONE.
Pros
I'm gone
Cons
N/a

Pretty good!
Clinical Aid (Former Employee) - Kitchener, ON - 6 July 2020
Good place to work. Lots of great staff and lots of fun. Management isn’t super supportive or attentive and you’re lucky to get an email back if you have a concern.
Some snotty know it all nurses who take advantage of the clinical aides and want them to do their jobs for them, but majority are very good. Hard to get a permanent position as there as so many temps.
Pros
Patient care is great, lots of great nurses
Cons
Lazy nurses, inability to get permanent position, unsupportive management.

Great Experience with Covid19 pandemic
PSW (Current Employee) - Kitchener, ON - 4 July 2020
I came to St. Mary's to help with covid positive patients. I have enjoyed my time and being able to use and teach my skills at well as learn more, has been great. Although some of the colleagues were not so happy to embrace us as agency care workers, we eventually learned and worked well with one another.
Pros
Lots to learn and share
Cons
RN's not so open to use PSW'S to help.

Great experience
Registered Practical Nurse (Current Employee) - Kitchener, ON - 28 June 2020
Great experience as a new grad RPN. There is teamwork. The manager is willing to listen to the staff and very approachable. I just only hope that they offer more shifts to PT employees than agencies.
Pros
Free snacks sometimes, life and work balance, management
Cons
offer few extra shifts for PT

This place is a very Toxic environment.
Food Service Worker (Former Employee) - Kitchener-Waterloo, ON - 12 November 2019
Toxic environment. Favoritism, extremely poor management. Pay is good but not when you’re doing the job of three people, because there Daily call in sick rate is extremely high. Which in turn leaves the people who do come in for their shift working twice as hard.

Not like it used to be
Housekeeping (Former Employee) - Kitchener, ON - 8 July 2019
Housekeeping manager(s) have their favourite. So they favour them. The manager he favours maintenance staff over the housekeeping staff. The supervisor she can be very rude and nothing gets done about that. SMGH is not like it used to be at all. If you don’t smoke and say hi you get in trouble. Not the best place to work
Cons
Managers are very stuck up and rude

Student RPN (Former Employee) - Kitchener, ON - 24 February 2018
I had a great experience thank to my great teacher who was covering every possible subject by creating a good learning environment to all of us.

Management
Registered Nurse - Full Time (Current Employee) - Montréal, QC - 17 November 2017
The management is under change. It is not what it used to be. Coming under french management, an originally English hospital is stressed at this time. Budget cuts are compromising the quality of care.
