Bad Management

Bad Management. Favouritism. Management does not give chance to most people who want different positions in different departments. Racism , and Favouritism is present at work place.

Do not do internship here

Summer Internship (Former Employee) - TGH - 5 May 2023

STAY AWAY. Have no respect for interns and how we need to graduate. There are companies that will treat you way better. Worst company I have ever worked for. - no communication- no details- not caring - Rude

Good work life balance，good benefits and pension

Senior Analyst (Current Employee) - Toronto, ON - 24 February 2023

I have worked at uhn for more than 10 years, great company and lots of career opportunities, also come with good packages of dental and health, Hoopp pension is a plus. Nowadays there were a few restructures, but as long as we are good with your job, you are safe.

Staff are fed up of being taken advantage of.

Environmental Services (Current Employee) - Toronto, ON - 1 February 2023

I have worked at the Toronto Western Hospital for years and it just keeps getting worse and worse. Full time positions are being cut and the work is being passed on to others (the ones who actually work). When people are sick or on a leave of absense they dont not replace them. We have not recieved a wage increase in over 5 years. Stay away from UHN if you are looking to work in a hospital setting.

Sacm

SACM (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 8 January 2023

They do not have effective HR so the managers have the power to behave like Mr.Putin. If you get a good manager you can work otherwise good luck. They have overstaffed managers and under staff frontline workes.

Pros

Job security

Cons

Over staffing of managers and politics

Great place to work

Registered Nurse, General Surgery (Current Employee) - Toronto, ON - 19 December 2022

Great hospital to work. Staff parking rates are ridiculous but not controlled by the hospital. Management tries but like all other hospitals in Ontario we are bleeding staff and finding it hard to replace.

Pros

Free swag like sweaters

Cons

Long hours, night shifts

Toxic work cultureCondescending and rude managementYou won't move up the ladder unless you have no pride or shame. It is okay for upper managementbeing disrespectful. No appreciation of the staff!

UHN is a world renowned healthcare centre so that's something to be proud of.

Project Manager (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 19 October 2022

It is not easy to work at UHN but it can be rewarding. There is a lot going on so sometimes it can be hard to prioritize and focus. All in all, the total compensation package is good, especially the pension plan.

Run away!!!

Senior Medicinal Chemist (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 11 October 2022

Seriously this place is terrible. It would be so hard to sum up all of the bad things about UHN. Easily the worst HR I have ever dealt with. Incompetent scientists, over funded researchers, poor facilities. Management are awful. It was out of the movie office space. I had four bosses who I had to get approval of for everything. Short term contracts and low pay were the icing on the cake. Go elsewhere. You can do better.

Pros

Close to Kenzington market

Cons

Surrounded by stupidity

Poor workplace culture and poor pay

Registered Nurse (Current Employee) - Toronto, ON - 10 October 2022

Nurses unfortunately are not compensated enough for the amount of work we do. Constant flow of admitting patients even though not staffed. Workplace culture has gone down, alot of bullying and horizontal violence among nurses, especially towards new nurses. Used to be a much healthier environment to work in. Hopefully will change soon.

Pros

benefits

Cons

culture

I enjoyed working with UHN.. Would like that opportunity again. We worked like a Team and Management were always pleased and complimented our working skills with the Public as I worked with the Mobile Vaccine Team during COVID 19.

Decent nursing job

Registered Nurse (Former Employee) - Nrt - 6 July 2022

Decent work culture, not too much drama, although each unit is different. Some attempts made across the organization to retain staff. Flexible staffing available if you want to pursue grad school/continuing education.

Staffing issues

Registered Nurse (Current Employee) - Toronto, ON - 24 June 2022

Good company, room for growth. A lot of company politics involved. Takes a while to get accustomed to the staff but there is always a couple people willing to help. Like any other hospital right now, they often working short. Managers are helpful when it comes to job mobility.
