Work place culture needs improvement

PM (Former Employee) - Newmarket, ON - 10 December 2021

People who haven’t changed jobs in over 10 years are difficult to work with and the workplace culture doesn’t support any changes in this regard. Also it is not a diverse place

Pros

Cons

People and attitudes

Too many managers/bosses

Service Technician (Current Employee) - Newmarket, ON - 16 February 2021

The work and co-workers are great! , Pay and benefits are decent. This could be an amazing workplace, however... It's sickening how top heavy this organization is. There are way too many managers and they just keep dreaming up more and more management or supervisor positions. They also seem to be really good at making poor decisions, wasting money, destroying worker moral, lowering efficiency.Take management out of the equation and this place becomes an amazing place to work!!

Pros

Coworkers

Cons

Management

Individual case loads and great team members to share collaboration and ideas!

Cons

Long hours some days!

Great work environment. Not as challenging as private sector but good work-life balance.

Development Engineering Associate (Former Employee) - Newmarket, ON - 15 May 2020

Got a good variety of work to do. Upper management was respectful and never felt overbearing. Lots of extra activities and initiatives provided by weekly employee e-mail newsletter. Good student support structure.

I enjoyed my time working at York Region.

Immunization RN (Former Employee) - Newmarket, ON - 11 January 2020

The staff were a cohesive group. The structure as a part time immunization nurse worked well. The autonomy was appreciated. The scheduling coordinator was very good at her job and tried to keep everyone’s needs in mind. I was surprised to see 2 managers let go in my time there.

Good people - questionable culture

Paramedic and Seniors Services (Current Employee) - York, ON - 29 December 2019

Good people. Culture is not very good at all. Not a lot of advancement or opportunity to grow. Management and staff feel siloed - not collaborative.

Great place

Maintenance Supervisor (Current Employee) - Newmarket, ON - 7 November 2019

Nothing bad to say other than long term employees are out of touch with reality and shouldn’t complain as much as they do. Benefits and pay are excellent.

Excellent benefits and some opportunity for advancement

Corporate Learning Specialist (Former Employee) - York, ON - 16 August 2019

The regional municipality of york provided great benefits that were 100% paid for by the organization; which these days is unheard of. It is a unionized environment (other then HR/management) so advancements can be few and far between and working between management and the unionized staff can be a difficult process. Very well paid jobs and movement up the salary grid through a dedicated performance review process (bonuses for non-union staff

Pros

benefits, salary

Cons

Union/management conflicts

Good pay

Salesforce Admin and Developer (Former Employee) - Newmarket, ON - 14 August 2019

Great pay, days feel long even though its usually less than 40 hours a week of work. Given good projects to work on but I would have liked it more if they had a more fun team environment.

Don't trust your manager too much

Senior ERP Financial System Support Analyst (Former Employee) - York, ON - 6 May 2019

York Region taught me that, when you work hard but don't get a good review, get out. I hope you work for better managers than I worked for. I like to think the good managers outweigh the bad.
