Time pressure. Toxic environment
Dietary Aide (Current Employee) - Prince George, BC - 8 December 2020
If you're not a work machine this company is not for u. Toxic management, dumb as i may say. High employee turnover rate. Would definitely call for labor board on how they treat employees. Cant even take breaks beacuse they would expect u to finish 3000+ dishes in an hour.
Pros
None
Cons
Exhausting job. Time pressure. Poor management

Be ready to be like a threat for the staff
Dietary Aide (Current Employee) - Vancouver, BC - 1 October 2020
The good thing about Westcana is that it gives you a whole ground for you to get good money, but be ready to deal with staff clashes because there are people who are working for 10 or 20 years there that they think you are invading their business.
Pros
Free lunch
Cons
Unfriendly staff

Inproper orientation with high expectations
Manager (Former Employee) - Surrey, BC - 25 February 2020
Poor leadership from the operations level, the top leaders are ambitious, manipulative, with no leverage in the company goal and objectives. Liars from upper management.

Not a god place to work . You end up giving your life to a company that’s basically pays minimum wage . When you do get time off there constantly calling and texting for you to come into work

Terrible wages
Housekeeping and First Aid (Former Employee) - Langley, BC - 28 November 2019
They will labour pimp you out and pay you nothing. Them employees refuse to stand up to the employees and unionize like they desperately need. The work load is way above the pay grade

Good place to work if you dont have a choice
Dietary Aide (Former Employee) - Vancouver, BC - 26 November 2018
Most of the staff are exhausted, too much work, some employees worked so hard and some are very lazy, and the management can not do anything about it. If you worked so hard, most of the work are given to you because others are lazy and you can't finish the job on time because you have a lot of things to do.The chef is very kind to the extent that some lazy employees are taking advantage. Exhausting place to work in general if you are a hard worker employee. No team work.
Pros
Friendly manager
Cons
Overworked, exhausting place to work

Hard working, caring facility that made a difference in many lives.
Manager of Support Services (Former Employee) - Malaspina Gardens, Nanaimo, British Columbia - 25 January 2014
This job was working in Long Term Care. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the ability to have job satisfaction at the end of every shift because you were able to help someone. My days were full days with always something to do. I enjoyed all of my co-workers, as this was a facility that had 3 different companies working at it, but we all had to work together to get the job completed, each day. I would have to say that the hardest part of my job was when a resident passed. Knowing that it was going to happen was one thing, but when it did happen it was at times difficult.
Pros
Free Lunches, opportunity for advancement, in-services offered
