Good for experience
Volunteer (Current Employee) – Brampton, ON – 7 March 2019
After graduation, I needed experience in a Hospital Setting and William Osler's gave me the opportunity to get a good feel of how things worked in a hospital. I got a lot of one on one patient interaction which encouraged me.

Pay on time but horrible culture
Clerical Associate (Current Employee) – Toronto, ON – 18 February 2019
Worked with this organization for 7 years in several departments. They pay on time but the culture is toxic and management implements policies that make do sense. Depending on the unit you work on it is EXTREMELY stressful.
Pros
pay on time
Cons
long hours
A very stressful and unpleasant work environment
CRISIS INTERVENTION CONSULTANT (Former Employee) – Etobicoke, ON – 13 February 2019
Work environment was disorganized and staff were not appreciated. Management for the most part were ineffective. It was a very negative workplace culture. Trust among colleagues was non-existent.
Pros
Independent work environment
Cons
Colleague support lacking
Former Medical Technologist, Brampton
Technologist (Former Employee) – Brampton, ON – 13 February 2019
Overall, the hospital is great, pay and benefits are awesome. The only thing is the Laboratory Manager in my area sucks, discriminatory, bully, inconsiderate and no compassion. Work life balance for the employees is not in her vocabulary.
Pros
Great pay and benefits
Cons
Tolerates bullying
I became confident in attending to Patients.
Resident Chaplain/Full Employment (Former Employee) – Brampton, ON – 31 January 2019
I came into William Osler to work as Spiritual Therapist Chaplain. It was an interesting place to work. We were Seven in our Department, and always ready to cooperate with each other to offer our services and cover our unit. The work environment was enabling, which made it possible for us to cope with the number of Patients we were expected to visit daily.
The Hospital was built about Eleven to Twelve years ago, and facilities to my own understanding is properly maintained, so using elevators and other facilities keep your day devoid of stress.
Payments were done every two weeks, and it was always regular. Another plus worthy of noting is that employees birthdays are marked by my Department, which means a good incentive to keep working with interest.
I finished working because I had to move on, but I will recommend William Osler Health System to anyone, who has got the opportunity to render services in this great hospital and institution.

Great team, poor management of resources
Occupational Health Nurse (Former Employee) – Brampton, ON – 18 January 2019
often staying late to try to accomplish all requirements arising during the day.
lack of staffing, multiple staff off sick with no coverage or assistance to meet the needs of the department while staff off.
great team to work with within the department, however manager position was left unfilled for more than a year with poor coverage in department where management support was required for both day to day and regular management needs

Pros

No worklife balance
Medical Technologist (Current Employee) – Etobicoke, ON – 28 October 2018
No worklife balance. Management waiting to fire someone. No accommodations are done if you are sick or on modified duty. Employees are discriminated according to their age race and background.
Management looks only at their numbers. Cooperate work ethics is the culture of the management.
Even as a patient you shouldnt go to this hospital.

Volunteer
Volunteer at Centre for Complex Diabetes Clinic (Former Employee) – Brampton, ON – 3 September 2018
As a volunteer at Brampton Civic Hospital, I committed to come in once every week for a few hours. My schedule was very adjustable and I was able to come in when I could. At the Diabetes clinic, I gained experience in health administration and was assigned various office duties. The assigned duties were pretty easy however they were strenuous as there were a lot of files to go through and a lot of inventory that constantly needed to be organized and updated.
Fun place to work in depending on group
SHORT DESK SCHEDULER - TEAM LEAD AND TRAINER (Current Employee) – Brampton, ON – 25 July 2018
The job is stressful, but if you have a fun group to work with it helps minimize the stress levels.Generally the nurses and staff we call to work are great to work with.
Interesting place to work at
