Avis des employés pour Alberta Health Services - Red Deer, AB

I have worked for AHS since 2007, in various parts of Alberta. I relocated to RD in 2020. I have struggled with the majority of the managers I have worked under since moving here. Unfortunately things often are done in non union compliant ways, and the union is very familiar with all of the managers I have had issues with. I have had to grieve multiple job positions that I was then granted after the grievance process. As someone with a fair amount of seniority, I have had the least amount of vacation/personal leave approved since moving here, and often have had my shifts moved from days-evenings and weekdays to nights. Granted much of this was during Covid, but from what I gathered it was not uncommon pre Covid. The staff themselves are decent, with the exception of the usual bad apples. Some of the doctors are great, others are difficult to work with (as usual). Short staffing is often an issue (as usual). Not a bad area to work in, as many places are willing to provide some great education and training opportunities, but be prepared to stand up for your rights as an RN a bit more than you would typically have to in the larger centres.

Toxic work environment

Clerk IV (Employé actuel) - Red Deer, AB - 18 septembre 2023

Toxic work environments. Double standards. Unfair hiring process. Significant employee turnover because of the toxicity. The culture gives lip service to the moto of CARES.

Did not enjoy the bureaucracy and feeling like contribution was taxpayers money not well spent.

Registered Nurse - Peri-operative Training Line

Good coworkers, management has poor communication skills

RN Staff Nurse (Ancien employé) - Red deer alberta - 14 juillet 2022

No sense of pride, that's what working for the government entails I suppose. Biggest problem is the for staff no nothing about the overall goings on. Management will change things at the last second or are inconsistent in the application of policies.

It’s ok

Medical Office Assistant (Employé actuel) - Red Deer, AB - 8 avril 2022

It’s exactly what you would expect from a corporate conglomerate. Ok wage, higher expectations for some positions, less for others, some management is amazing, some is garbage but the bonus is they hav exhort high turn over so if you don’t like where you are, you can always move on to something different and hope it’s better and if not just remember you can always repeat the process or wait for new management, that happens lots here too.

Leader was a Micromanager

Administrative Support II (Ancien employé) - Red Deer, AB - 23 mars 2022

It was a typical admin job. Not much bad to say but not much good either. A lot of clock watchers around. My guess is that the level of happiness in your job depends on which department you are in and who is your Leader. Mine was so-so but couldn’t take the micromanaging.

Points positifs

On-site amenities (coffee shop, cafeteria)

Points négatifs

Pay for parking

Has not been the greatest experience for myself personally

Regimented and stifling

Pay is great

Clerk IV, Administrative Support (Ancien employé) - Red Deer, AB - 21 mars 2020

Good wages and benefits. Permanent employees over 20 hours/week have access to Pension, RRSP, Personal Days off and Health Spending Account. Unfortunately, permanent full-time vacancies are uncommon now, leaving departments to work shorthanded in the name of cost-cutting. I’ve worked with AHS for almost 4 years, interviewed for about 10 permanent full-time positions during that time, but ended up working in a series of temporary and casual contracts. With the implementation of ConnectCare, fewer Admins will be needed to cope with the currently cumbersome workload.

Float unit clerk in fast paced environments.

Unit Clerk (Employé actuel) - Red Deer, AB - 19 janvier 2020

I love being a unit clerk. I enjoy going where the need is to help out a unit and perform my job to the best of my ability. We can be very busy with admissions, discharges, transfers and post op patients, let alone the orders we process on the unit. In the clinics you're checking patients in, making sure the proper information is available for their appointment, re booking appointments or surgeries and always being kind, professional and helpful.

Points positifs

co workers are usually awesome

Fast paced and competitive

Technologist (Employé actuel) - Red Deer, AB - 16 janvier 2020

very good place to work, however very competitive for positions, don't take into account seniority and experience. Working as a casual is great however someday the uncertainty of hours is concerning. A lot of politics in healthcare, but overall great team environment
