Great People
Senior Administrative Secretary (Former Employee) – Vancouver, BC – 11 January 2018
Excellent pay, benefits and people that you work with. At certain times it can get very busy so it is important to stay very organized. The hardest part of the job is can get very demanding as we enter the healthcare environment to help, and one learns that it is a team effort.
Good Workplace, but management needs work
Program Assistant, Mental Health & Substance Use (Current Employee) – Vancouver, BC – 4 April 2018
Good Workplace to work, but management needs work. Training manuals need to be updated and workplace drama and politics should not be inflicted onto others.
Pros
Salary and benefits
Cons
Management lacks and workplace drama and politics
Large organization with a small office feel
Employee Engagement (Current Employee) – Vancouver, BC – 14 March 2018
I really enjoy working and collaborating with my co-workers on a daily basis. Although VCH is a large organization, our office still maintains a small community feel, which makes coming to more enjoyable! VCH promotes a great work-life balance and provides awesome benefits :)
Pros
Work-life balance, benefits, co-workers
Great work environment and co-workers
Employee Engagement (Current Employee) – Vancouver, BC – 14 March 2018
Fantastic place to work. Lots of work available for staff. Only problem is that the organization is quite hierarchical, which creates a lengthy approval process.
Pros
Benefits, co-workers, culture
Cons
Approval process, slow to make decisions
A great place to work if you're in the right atmosphere

Job security
Cons
Not enough pay
Great Place to Work
Residential Care Aide (Former Employee) – Squamish, BC – 4 May 2017
This is a very high energy job and you are constantly on the go which I love. There is never a dull moment and I grew very close to my co-workers and the residence. I will truly miss them all.
Pros
You can pick up as many hours as you like
Cons
The work load is pretty hard at times as we were short staffed a lot of the time.
Poor
Administrative Assistant (Former Employee) – Richmond, BC – 26 April 2017
I came back from maternity leave to find out that i am getting laid off just because my job description was "changing". its a revolving door new managers come fire old assistants and find new ones.
Pros
benefits
Cons
micro management, lack of communication, lack of support for women and their children.
Hard to get into but so rewarding
Accommodation Associate (Former Employee) – Vancouver, BC – 26 February 2017
The job can be hard at times but it is well worth the experience and confidence it gives you when you move on to something else. The people are very nice and if you need to ask a question they will take the time to answer because they want you to succeed.
Pros
good benefits
Cons
hard to get into
Too many deductions
Administrative Assistant 4 (Current Employee) – Vancouver, BC – 11 February 2017
Love my job but the workload is massive and never ending for a take home pay of $1,000.00 every two weeks, not enough to live on in Vancouver.
Pros

Cons
Massive workload, no support, unable to work overtime hours, too many deductions to live in Vancouver
Excellent work place

Vancouver Coastal health is an excellent organization to work for. The managers and staff are very helpful and encouraging. The only downfall to the job is the pay and parking near by all hospitals.

positive vibes
Cons
parking cost
Both good and bad
Management (Former Employee) – Vancouver, BC – 10 December 2015
Worked with some fantastic people. Great place to work when you have the right leadership. Satisfying to know you are making a difference to patients. Not a great work environment if leadership not supportive or not in touch with what is happening in day-to-day service delivery. It is very hard to see staff who feel unsupported or uncertain about future.
Pros
Some people fantastic to work with. Good benefits package.
Cons
Work environment is not always good.
treat staff nicely, professionally, safe working environment.
