Support Worker in North Vancouver, BC
on 16 May 2022
Okay
Okay place to work. No concerns not really much to say. People where nice and I made great friends. The residents where nice and made the job worth it. Case Manager in Burnaby, BC

Don't work here
Save yourselves the trouble and don't work here. Staff (especially in AIL) are not valued or appreciated. Managers will micro manage everything you do. Work is fast paced, managers place unrealistic deadlines and are unorganized. One to One Worker in Burnaby, BC

Disorganized and Isolating
This company is desperate for workers due to the high turnover rate. Management changes constantly, it started off with a yearly change but then it became almost every 6 months. Contacting managers becomes very difficult and confusing. There are barely any meetings or ways to feel connected to your co workers. The only time you will meet a co worker is either by training new staff, or if a manager visits for an equipment check. The children are absolutely the highlight of this job, they're wonderful and are in need of help but due to lack of training as well as management not always being familiar with different children, as the one to one worker you will be thrown into the fire many times. This job can be very stressful at times due to this. In short Negatives: - Management is in disarray - Managers also are not familiar with the actual kids as they are randomly hired from different organizations - Isolating: there is no sense of community and you barely see your co workers - Stressful: due to lack of knowledge regarding clients from management, you are not trained very well for each client thus creating a sink or swim situation for the worker - Positives: - You get to work with incredible youth and the job is very rewarding - Pay: you are compensated very well but it is hard to get a full 40 hour week unless you're in residential care. Overall my rating is a 2-2.5. If you want to gain work experience in this field as a student I recommend it but I warn you to not get taken advantage of by this company. You will be asked to do many things that are beyond your duties. (Permanent) Support Worker in Vancouver, BC
