There is always something beneficial to learn, management is excellent. I am talking about my personal experience. Management always welcomes my viewpoint. I enjoy the sense of belonging. I group in the a visible minority section. The hardest part of the job is when contract is about to end. The best part of the job is that you always leave the site with positive note.

Points positifs

quick feeback

Points négatifs

short term contract

CRC is extraordinarily wasteful with resources and Management are inexperienced

EMERGENCY CARE WORKER BC VAX PROGRAM (Ancien employé) - Victoria - 12 novembre 2022

The most wasteful charity. Most of resources are expended on redundant practices by incompetant management. Friends of managment, or friends of friends, with little to zero skills or experience are advanced over the highly experienced and capable. If you do not bring breaches in policy or question procedures you will likely be retained. If you have any capacity or experience you will only be hired or retained for mindless positions.

Points positifs

None

Points négatifs

Incompetent managers and everything else

Good pay, disorganized

Emergency Care Worker (Ancien employé) - Victoria, BC - 6 octobre 2022

Everything felt a little chaotic; it took a really long time for payroll to come through, I had mistakes on pay checks pretty often and it would take a long time to fix.

Great team

Emergency care worker (Ancien employé) - Kamloops, BC - 15 septembre 2022

Hard to get answers sometimes as never talk to the same person in management.Lots of training. It takes a long time to get hired, but once on there is lots of places to go if you choose to. I was only a temporary worker while Covid clinics were up and running.

It is a nice work experience

Emergency Care Worker (Ancien employé) - Prince George, BC - 10 juin 2022

It is a good place to work. The payment is fair and the team demonstrates sincere concern about mates. The beneficiaries could be tough to deal with sometimes, but nothing aggressive or violent. I had the opportunity to grow as a person and understand that it is possible to be comfortable at work.

Emergency Care Worker (Employé actuel) - Nationwide - 17 mai 2022

Honestly one of the best experiences, I worked as an emergency care worker for their COVID-19 response all last year. There are many opportunities to travel and work in a variety of different settings and people. They emphasize work life balance and taking your time at work. Depending on the position it can be stressful. I think something important is to speak up on anything you feel strongly about. Sometimes management doesn’t listen and can make you feel like you gotta speak to 20 people to get your voice heard which can be frustrating.

Good place to work

EMERGENCY CARE WORKER (Ancien employé) - VICTORI - 2 avril 2022

The job itself wasn't hard and was very grateful once I worked with the direct responsive team fighting COVID 19.With the high risk of contamination, the company has strong mechanisms to avoid as much as they can to avoid any issues related to health.

Pathetic for a non for profit

Emergency Care Worker (Employé actuel) - Ontario - 1 mars 2022

Worked with the CRC for the last year and a half, originally we had contracts usually 3 months at a time but that was taken away because people where staying home and getting paid and working on the side. So CRC came up with a killer idea almost as killer as their tainted blood drives and that was to basically ruin the job for the people who actually went to work and wanted to work by giving everyone in emergency care a reservist contract and to try to come up with every and any way not to pay their employees and if they don't obey every single silly rule that was pulled out of management's void they call their mind they would be let go or have to do some sort of re education. Mobilization and roster managers are only around rarely and are not reachable under normal circumstances. The CEO pockets 5 mill a year from a non for profit, all while management messes with everyone off thus the extremely high turnover rate. No job security as the open contract just protects CRC from paying out for EI. Welcome to the red cross

Fun workplace

Emergency Care Worker (Ancien employé) - Ontario - 21 janvier 2022

It was fun working with the redcross. Everyone is just so nice and welcoming. They really do make you feel like family. The only thing that I didn’t like was the fact that you can’t depend on it to pay your bills.

Points négatifs

No Job security No benefit No stable work schedules All contract based jobs

Rewarding work, but not worth it

Emergency Care Worker (Employé actuel) - Ottawa, ON - 5 décembre 2021

On site work is very rewarding. The management and pay/ contact structure is not conducive to long term employment. Expenses can take months to be paid out. Often issues with hourly pay. Contracts come and go.

Points positifs

Great peers, thankful beneficiaries

Points négatifs

Hard to recoup expenses, poor communication between management and leadership, unreliable contract work
