The Village of Glendale Crossing Employee Reviews

Being unionized it takes years to achieve full time status. But the salary and benefits are worth the wait if you have something else to pad your income.

Great Opportunity

Nurse's Aide (Former Employee) - London, ON - 22 June 2020

I was hired as part of the opening process, hired full staff of 150 people. Great opportunity, amazing staff and residents, poor management! No work-life balance.

Best place to Work

Personal Support Worker (Current Employee) - London, ON - 11 February 2020

This is the place I have worked the longest. I love this place. The Management is very supportive and resident and staff oriented. They also do all they can to help those who are continuing the education. I would recommend any serious job seekers to consider Glendale as first priority.

Poor Training

Registered Nurse (Former Employee) - London, ON - 7 May 2019

Barely train new staff, severely bad patient to nurse ratio, bad safety mechanisms for yourself and patients. Don't put your nursing lisence at risk by working here.

Would not recommend

PSW (Former Employee) - London, ON - 11 August 2018

All staff members agree there is insufficient training with all jobs There is a poor culture of “tattling” over conflict resolution and staff are regularly suspended No two people have the same answer to problems. Whether it’s the RPN, charge nurse, GM etc. There is no consistency in rules so it’s very confusing for staff PSWs are always working short staffed and residents suffer Head office will nickel and dime you every pay cheque and there are always payroll mistakes that no one seems to know how to fix Probably the worst overall work place I’ve ever worked at and I’ve been in the industry for 15 years

Pros

Staff all suffer together

Cons

Pay, work environment, maganement, “benefits”

Not a good place to work

Personal Support Worker (PSW) (Former Employee) - London, ON - 19 July 2018

I have worked at various nursing homes and this was probably the worst one ive worked at. There is a lot of elder abuse that goes on, along with ALWAYS being short staffed which leads to falls and errors. Along with this, the pay is not well for the work that is done, and pay checks are constantly incorrect. This place is not somewhere i would ever put a loved on nor ever work for. I lasted one month before giving my resignation in because i didn't agree with anything that was happening in that home. The only good thing about that place is their amazing recreation team.

Pros

Recreation team

Cons

low wage, short staff, unsafe environment

the most enojoyable part of the job

RPN (Former Employee) - London, ON - 3 May 2016

The most enjoyable part of the job was the people. I love being around people, learning and observing. Elderly people have a lot to teach and I always love listening.

Great place for advancement.

housekeeper (Former Employee) - London, ON - 23 January 2016

I started part-time casual in the laundry department. I took every shift that was available to me. Over the year I gained more hours and responsibility. When I resigned a year and a half later I was working full-time and gaining over -time hours as well.

High-energy, sometimes stressful work environment

Registered Practical Nurse (Current Employee) - London, ON - 7 January 2015

An ordinary shift is 1400-2200. Greeted with a smile by co-workers each day. I learned that individuals with dementia are both difficult and enjoyable to take care of. It comes with it's challenges, but not without rewards. I enjoy coming into work everyday, even though it can be stressful.

Pros

Something new happens everyday

Cons

Being short staffed
