Indigenous health (Former Employee) - Indigenous Health - 5 April 2023

Do not apply unless you want to be treated unfairly. Loss hours and don’t see a dime of paid work! The management is never there, and when they are they are in meetings! They will watch you stumble and blame you when you fail.

Pros

No supervisor, no manager

Cons

They steal your hours and not pay you

Lab technician

Medical Laboratory Assistant (Current Employee) - Seven Oaks, MB - 31 January 2023

This company has a mostly friendly work environment. They are very much concerned about employees' safety and is very much culturally diverse. The shifts are not the best considering it is shift work. Wages could be better considering our union for lab has been expired for going in 5 years, which makes you feel underpaid and unappreciated. Benefits are decent.

Pros

Benefits, pension

Cons

Shift work, working some weekends

Diverse clinical practice

Pharmacist (Former Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 27 October 2022

There is plenty of opportunity to advance and diversify your practice when it comes to pharmacy at this site. There are many different clinical areas where clinical pharmacists can practice and specialize, with plenty of support from management and the department of pharmacy to further your education with advanced degrees, board certification, and obtaining your expanded prescribing.

Very structured workplace

Families First Home Visitor (Former Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 17 October 2022

As a government organization, there is a ton of bureaucracy. Program decisions are made top down with little input from front line staff. More time will be spent on paperwork than actually working with clients.

Pros

Pension, helping the community

Cons

Little freedom or ability to enact change. Paperwork is constant and redundant.

Productive but sometimes tough.

Home Care Attendant (Former Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 8 August 2022

It was a good type of job to go to clients home, if you have your regular schedule. Otherwise, it can be a rush day driving around your work area. I think the problem was sometimes about the length of time to provide care and the way some scheduling clerk organize our schedule, but the overall I Liked to work as a home care and help my clients. Also, my RC (Resource coordinator) was very good to help me to dealing with some situations, I cannot complain about him .

Secure work environment.

Physiotherapist (Former Employee) - Riverview Health Centre - 11 June 2022

Job satisfaction and stress really depends on the field you will be working in. Pay is the same across the board starting out. Which may seem very fair, if your job is typically low stress; think IP TKA/THA ward, or seem very unfair if in an ER department; considering the COVID work environment. Luckily, I have had a great experience. Thank you to my colleagues who managed in a COVID-related environment.

WRHA is not for me

Registered Nurse (Former Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 31 May 2022

a company that has no regard for its employees. you are a number, not a person. no matter how long you've worked for them, you are just a replaceable warm body.

Pros

paid vacation, sick days, job security

Cons

everything else

Fast paced and sometimes streasful

Home Care Attendant (Current Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 27 April 2022

Can be stressful at times. Adding lots of clients in your schedule. But management give recognition if you're good at your job. You'll meet different clients and culture.

I hoped for more

Community Health Worker (Current Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 14 March 2022

I was always looking forward to wkrking for wrha and now that I have seen how they treat some of their staff I am not happy. Lower paid staff are disposable, they don't care if people get COVID, and aren't willing to accommodate.

Some great people benefits are nil but you don’t pay for them some offices have a toxic culture

Health Care Aide (Former Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 12 March 2022

Worked for the company just shy of 5 years. Started off great won’t get full time unless your there for a while or unless u snag an area no one wants. Lots of phone calls even if your off the clock they call and ur expected to answer. Lots of politics and toxicity in some of the offices you’ll notice the higher turnover rates. Lack of staffing so they’ll jam more people into your schedule. Overall it’s not bad if you like driving around all day and being on the phone clients can be quite challenging with not a lot of back up from upper management when you have an abusive one

Pros

Stability and freedom, unions decent and good out in the field workers

Cons

Takes a while to move up and work culture can be toxic, benefits suck

Used to be better working here but everything has become about numbers and making policies which don't take into account the front line workers

Community Mental Health Worker (Current Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 8 February 2022

This used to an OK company to work for now communication only happens with certain employees by management while others are not told important changes to policy only to find out later. Those in leadership or management tend to be hired from outside the organization or have little experience while others are passed over or not granted an interview. The pandemic hasn't made any of this easier with people adopting their own policies around "working from home".

Pros

The salary is quite competitve, some genuinely good employees who care about the patients they serve

Cons

Incompetent managers, bad leadership, leadership rewards their friends and those with the same beliefs and culture as them, leadership lies about how decisions are made.

Staff were great

Production Supervisor, Laundry Operations (Former Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 2 December 2021

Found upper management took nepotism too far, filling important position with friends who were under qualified. This caused trouble in the general functionality of the workplace.

Pros

Stable hours - Monday to Friday

Cons

Extra unpaid hours, poor support from upper management.

Overworked and Underpaid

Health Care Aide (Current Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 27 November 2021

Poor Management, they really don’t have a clue what the staff deal with and don’t care about the clients. Their priorities are the little things you don’t do rather than the good you DO. Working 7-9 hrs and only getting paid for 5-7….no premiums for working evenings and lousy benefits !!!
