Toxic workplace

Case Manager (Current Employee) - North Vancouver, BC - 21 August 2023

Unrealistic workload & culture of bullying is prevalent. Hard work is punished by supervisors who add more workload on to nurses who are highly productive

Booking Clerk/Secretary (Current Employee) - North Vancouver, BC - 7 February 2023

I like the people I work with. Management is great. Pay could be better for the volume of work you have,but what's new. I find it rewarding to provide service to patients, even if a friendly helpful face can ease their anxiety - that is a nice reward.

Some great staff and coworkers. Management not so much.

LPN (Former Employee) - North Vancouver, BC - 1 November 2020

I worked for Vancouver coastal for 35 yrs. Management comes and goes. Many long time management were treated poorly as well as.On a positive note there was much more atonomy for staff nurses to go about their work with out being followed by superiors micromanaging. Senior staff are often treated poorly and many retired early as a result. Working with some fantastic staff made things better.

Pros

Excellent co workers

Cons

Chronic fatigue and turnover. Of staff

Toxic Workplace

Portfolio Clerk Staffing (Former Employee) - North Vancouver - 13 April 2020

Too much favoritism, too much stabbing of the back, too much politics, too much incompetent, to much laziness, sucking up is the norm. If you are incompetent and lazy but you are a master of sucking up, you'd be favoured and get away with everything, you can screw up million times, you are still be best employee. Kudos to incompetent Managers, they thrive in Vancouver Coastal Health.

interesting place

Coordinator Medical Administration (Current Employee) - north vancouver - 11 October 2017

LGH is an interesting place to work for, my supervisors are absolutely amazing and the physicians that I worked for, incredible. The hospital focuses on patient, nurses and practitioners but not much for their admin staff.

Good Job poor management

Scheduler (Current Employee) - North Vancouver, BC - 22 November 2016

Scheduling visits for chw's (psw's) to visit clients in their homes. Filling sick calls and vacation requests. Ensuring chw's get paid properly and coding hours. Adjust visit times with multiple considerations. Including Client preferences, client needs such as time specific medication, over-time, minimum daily hours for chw's, and avoiding giving chw's split shifts. Working with supervisors to determine the best schedule for clients. Helped create a new system to organize client visits more efficiently reducing the total driving distance for chw's and the total number of chw's who visit any one client.

Pros

We have to work evenings and weekends.

Cons

Free parking is over 1km away.
