Overall great place to work.

Pros: Opportunities to interview for other departments Managers are usually responsive and easy to communicate with Staff are supportive work culture is relaxed Opportunites for training Cons - Can be high stress if department operates 24/7 - Upper management is not typically open to suggestions - During Covid schedules changed to mandatory weekends on a rotating schedule with days off in the middle of the week. Weekends off were approx. every 6 weeks.

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

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

Pros
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.

Jobs at York Region
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.

No Complaints
Administrative Data Clerk (Former Employee) - Newmarket, ON - 20 October 2019
Was only here for 4 months but I enjoyed it. Ran into the odd big ego government worker but for the most part everyone was friendly and pleasant to work with

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.
