Fair pay compared to other organizations (but hardly enough to live on your own in Hamilton though) and generally good ability to pick up more hours, even for casual or part time employees. Alright benefits or good lieu pay instead of benefits if you aren't regular PT or FT. Good job security since many positions within HHS are unionized. However there is little or no room for advancement within the organization depending on your role. Good pension available for all staff. Depending on your unit, being a rehabilitation therapist often comes with some abuse from patients which is accepted as part of the job, especially in ABI. Since the pandemic staff moral has decreased significantly, but overall it is still an alright place to work regardless.

Points positifs

Good lieu pay instead of benefits, good pension, Fair shift distribution, little pressure to pick up overtime -however it is often offered.

Points négatifs

often a lack of action from management when issues or improvements are brought up, little room to move up within the organization, have to pay for parking or walk far to get free street parking, no performance based raises or bonuses (all unionized)

Excellent place to work

Registered Nurse - Nursing Resource Team (Ancien employé) - Hamilton, ON - 17 avril 2022

This is a wonderful place to work with highly skilled staff. I enjoyed the teamwork and was proud to be part of this team. Being part of the nursing resource team really opened my eyes to the number of learning opportunities at this hospital.

New grad

Registered Nurse (Employé actuel) - Hamilton, ON - 15 avril 2022

being here for a short time, if you are a new grad its a good place to start, you're able to transfer to various sites around HHS depending on your manager.

Points positifs

Good Team

Horrible toxic culture

Registered Nurse (RN) (Employé actuel) - HGH - 12 avril 2022

Horrible and toxic work culture. Management are selfish; they have a complete lack of respect for front line workers. Minimal support. Front line staff are burnt out, moral is low.

Good place to work

Business Clerk (Ancien employé) - Hamilton, ON - 10 avril 2022

Good place to work, be prepared to learn a lot of medical terminology depending on what department you’re in. Management may give you a pat on the back instead of solving any issues.

Good place to work overall

Psychometrist (Ancien employé) - Hamilton, ON - 27 mars 2022

Overall was a great place to work. Some cliques at times and sometimes I felt deliberately left out of our little department but that was attributed to two people in particular, and not the department itself. I would recommended working here.

Good place for work

Senior Infrastructure Analyst (Employé actuel) - Hamilton, ON - 24 mars 2022

good place and fair payment but you can't imagine a higher level career path. There is no chance to advance in your career. No training or encourage you to learn new things

Great staff & teamwork (depends on unit)

Registered Nurse (Employé actuel) - Hamilton, ON - 5 mars 2022

Nurses willing to help one another, including new hires. However, this depends on the unit. Short staffed on many units, like many other hospitals in Ontario during this pandemic.

McMaster OR is a great place to work but the Organization does not value its employees

RN (Ancien employé) - McMaster Children's Hospital - 4 mars 2022

Loved working in the Operating Room at McMaster. So honestly, I'd give it a 4.5. The Paediatric OR has some excellent, positive and energetic staff and the majority of the staff (Nurses, Doctors) are great team-players with a common goal to provide great patient care and have a great day doing it. If you love the OR but aren't one for daily trauma cases, this is the place for you! Unfortunately the organization itself is very impersonal and does not recognize when its staff go above and beyond (rated 3). They are not respectful of staff members schedules (especially during the pandemic). Any (and all) vacation requests may be denied and schedules are subject to change due to "needs of the department" . They try to provide notice but if you're low on seniority you may end up not having a choice (ex. being assigned call). The Master Schedule is not followed well so it's best to just wait till 6 weeks for scheduled time to be posted before you make plans. You may choose to take on additional projects for quality improvement or personal growth but the organization is far enough removed that these things are not recognized. Also, please be mindful of the potential of redeployment with inadequate training (pandemic specific). TLDR: MUMC OR has a positive culture and is a great place to work but the organization is impersonal and does not value its employees.

Great company

Business Clerk (Employé actuel) - Hamilton, ON - 2 février 2022

You can have a career here but with the never ending Covid pandemic staff are stressed and burned out. Good company though and lots of opportunities in other areas

Points positifs

Great pay

Points négatifs

Understaffed

Terrible management.

Director (Ancien employé) - Hamilton, ON - 1 février 2022

Management completely out of touch with reality. At HHSC, with 13,000 employees, you really ARE just a number!Management is constantly changing their minds and endless procedures and policies as a result. Much of what they do is to present good optics. Staff morale is low and they treat staff terribly. They pretend to stand for "respect" and "caring" but it's all virtue-signaling.Attempt to be "diverse" and "inclusive", but only if you agree with their narrative.

Points positifs

Great benefits.

Points négatifs

Too big to care about you.

Avez-vous trouvé cet avis utile?

No lack of work here! For nurses, scheduling is often difficult or unaccommodating unless you have built up good seniority.

Registered Nurse (Employé actuel) - Hamilton, ON - 1 février 2022

Almost always a full patient load with lots of extra work to do. Management is ok, but they are also struggling with a large workload. We are all trying to figure out how to manage our time but often seem understaffed. People are really nice.

Points positifs

Can transfer between sites and positions and keep seniority. As most hospitals, HOOPP is offered to health care employees.

Points négatifs

Bedside nursing staff have long hours, short staffed and often feel powerless to change things.

Being on call at the beginning is very stressful on your mindset.

Environmental Aide (Employé actuel) - Hamilton Beach, ON - 13 janvier 2022

If you’re regular part time, you have the option to pick up full time hours however will not know your schedule u til a few days prior. You can decline shifts and the union makes it hard for them to do much but they play favourites even tho scheduling is supposed to go by seniority.

Points positifs

Good pension, and pay

Points négatifs

On call is very stressful until you get regular part time, but even then it’s stressful not knowing your exact income.

With the current climate not always a great place to work.

Registered Nurse (Employé actuel) - Hamilton, ON - 12 janvier 2022

Hardly fully staffed anymore. Morale at an all time low with the current climate. Management could do more to boost morale. Always running into supply issues ie styrofoam cups, vacutainers, IV fluids etc. Only bright thing these days are the people you work with depending on who they are.

Points négatifs

- constant supply issues, - constant staffing problems ie 4 on nights, - at times not feeling supported by management, - not getting paid near were we should be

Organization feels aimless.

Manager (Employé actuel) - HHS - 27 décembre 2021

No obvious or cohesive plan for the organization. Challenging decisions seem to be avoided and heavy focus on optics. Conflicting initiatives constantly taking place at the same. Constant micromanaging of small stuff while obviously glaring issues ignored.

Points positifs

Job security

Points négatifs

Job security - all dead weight is retained nearly impossible to be fired.
