Wage isn’t a reflection of the hard work you put in

Health Care Aide (Employé actuel) - Grande Prairie, AB - 18 novembre 2022

Clients and staff suffer at the hands of AHS. The solution isn’t privatization though, just an overhaul of the many micromanagers and better wages for the staff. AHS should be ashamed of themselves. Worst provincial health authority I have worked for.

Good nursing job, experiences can vary greatly depending on the unit

Graduate Nurse (Employé actuel) - Grande Prairie, AB - 23 octobre 2022

Benefits are 75% employer paid, nursing wages follow the union grid, paid time off is good, but staffing shortages mean vacation time rarely gets approved. Management is okay and unit culture is good depending on which unit you're on. Most nurses are supportive of new grads but orientation is not long enough. Overall good place to start your career.

Enjoyed the work.

Administrative Support II - Casual (Ancien employé) - Grande Prairie, AB - 2 mars 2022

I enjoyed the work. Training process is chaotic. Management gives empty promises of full time employment but never follow through. Great coworkers.

A good place to live, work, learn and grow as a professional and a community member

Manager Inpatient Psych Addiction & Mental Health (Employé actuel) - Grande Prairie, AB - 2 mai 2020

Excellent leadership culture exists here. However, it is a highly unionized clinical environment. There is a work-life-family balance. Job security is assured, salary package isn't bad but could be better especially for managers since they are 'Out of Scope' and no union to fight for them in terms of benefits. Job culture is great as it remains zero tolerance to workplace bully and the like.

Good but underfunded

Health Care Aide (Employé actuel) - Grande Prairie, AB - 16 mars 2020

Working as a health care aide is extremely challenging but rewarding AHS has good values but due to government funding I believe there is understaffing issues

Don't appreciate their health care aides

Health Care Aide (Employé actuel) - Grande Prairie, AB - 19 octobre 2019

October 18th is health care aide day, not one card, gift or even a pat on the back from the management. Nurses week is full of games and prizes, baked goods and fun. so if you are a nurse this is a great workplace for you, if you are a HCA stay far away from this company. They act like you are a very valuable member and would help you out in anyway. This is far from true, don't ever feel like you can get help from them for anything. The pay is horrible, most of the HCAs have to work 2 jobs to afford to live. Nurses get full time, HCAs get part time. The only thing that keeps the HCAs sane is the union. You have to use all of your vacation every year, most of your vacation requests will get denied, if you don't use the hours up then they will book your vacation for you. Hurting yourself at a client, submitted safety reports along with other HCAs complaining of the same, instead of trying to fix the problem they shove it under the rug and ask if you want to be re-trained there by anther co-worker, not every single HCA has had that same problem as you so it must be something that you are doing wrong, not the situation. The clients are honestly the best part about the job, well the only good part. Go work for a different company, anywhere will appreciate you more, I promise.

Thank god there is a Union...

Administrative Support III (Full time) (Employé actuel) - Grande Prairie, AB - 10 février 2019

AHS itself isn't so bad, they have a lot of programs to help you out if need be. However, management was terrible. They don't care whatsoever about their employees and ultimately is the reason I want to leave.

Where you are a number not a person

Advanced Care Paramedic - Full Time (Employé actuel) - Grande Prairie, AB - 8 janvier 2019

This review comes from over 10 years of experience with Alberta Health Services. The organization claims to have a patient centered model but I can speak directly in opposition to this, Alberta Health Services is clearly a budget centered operation. Management practices favor budgets over staff health and safety, several departments are non-compliant with new changes in Occupational Health & Safety legislation because the cost would be too high. Work life balance is a joke and if you use sick time you are placed on attendance awareness.

Points positifs

They pay on time

Points négatifs

Great work place environment, good salary and benefits.

Unit Clerk Emergency Department (Employé actuel) - Grande Prairie, AB - 30 avril 2018

I have learned a lot over the last few years working as a unit clerk. Its fun, interesting. You get to work beside doctors and nurses. Sometimes they can be rude, but you just deal with it and keep doing the job. Non stop police, fire fighters, STARS and EMS. You get to see a lot of scary stuff.
