Vancouver Coastal Health Employee Review

A Positive and Supportive Environment to work

Administrative Assistant (Current Employee) - Vancouver, BC - 4 September 2023

I feel very fortunate to work for VCH. I love the culture and the people. I work with such kind and genuine people, who go above and beyond and truly want to make a difference in the lives of others. Management is very supportive, as are other staff members. The work is challenging enough, but not overwhelming. Regardless of the department I’ve interacted with, I’ve had positive experiences. I feel I am well compensated for what I do, I like what I do, and I actually look forward to being at work (I know, crazy eh?). If I have one “complaint “ it is with PHSA (Provincial Health Services Authority), who are responsible for our payroll and benefits. PSHA has not honoured my contract with VCH, and has consistently withheld (refused to pay) a percentage of my income. If you work for VCH, please check and double check your paystubs. If you are a temporary or casual employee, do make sure PSHA are calculating your statcas% according to the collective agreement. This is Vancouver, and every penny counts - especially if you’re working hard for it!

Pros

People, Culture, environment, compensation, flexible, family friendly.

Cons

PSHA and their inability to pay correctly.

No sense of direction from supervisors and management and leadership, you will be fired or terminated the moment they no longer see you as valuable, or are disabled.

None, do not join.

Fast paced and collaborative

Administrative Assistant (Former Employee) - Vancouver, BC - 5 February 2020

VCH has changed over the years I was employed there. Many opportunities for learning are there for staff. Management varied but, for most part was open and collaborative.

High Stress Low Reward

Medical Device Reprocessing Technician (Current Employee) - Vancouver, BC - 17 November 2023

Great benefits, but thats it. No incentives for performance and very high stress environment. Work here if you need paid vacation and benefits. Don’t work here if you need cash flow.
