It was an overall positive experience with supportive staff and management. There were team-building activities and periodical training. Management was responsive and life-work balance was encouraged.

It's okay, depends on the site you are at.

Clerical Support Clerk (Ancien employé) - Vancouver, BC - 7 mai 2022

Some sites are not to bad and you feel like you are doing well there with some great colleagues. However, depending on where you get hired it can be very cliquey(sp?) between the staff. The clients/patients for the most part are good and you can feel like you really made a difference in their life.

Never enough staff. Management is grossly incompetent.

Inventory Supply Technician (Employé actuel) - Vancouver, BC - 7 mai 2022

There never seems to be enough money in the budget for actual ataff on the floor. But the well never seems to run dry when hiring more management. This organization is way too top heavy.

Good co workers but bad management. Pay is low for the amount of stress you work under. Must be able to multi task. Always working short staffed. Benefits could be better.

Terrible Leadership and Management! Top down culture.

Project Manager (Ancien employé) - Vancouver, BC - 27 avril 2022

Wow! I truly have no words after completing a contract at the Corporate office. I’m an RN sing the folks up top are wildly out of touch with the realities of the front line. The organization values quantity over quality of work and you feel like you are spinning in a hamster wheel of meetings and working groups and committees without actually having space to reflect, research, talk to experts etc. It’s bureaucracy and risk management at its true finest and I felt totally unsupported. I

Points positifs

Fine pay, great clinicians, some great admin and management

Points négatifs

No work boundaries respected, Top down leadership and micromanaging, unsupportive of mental health

Vancouver Coastal Health Authority does not value its employees

MW5 Technician (Ancien employé) - George Pearson Centre - 8 avril 2022

My overall experience working for the company for over 20 years, the pay is OK for my job position but not high enough to be inline with inflation. The medical, dental and extended benefits are excellent. They do have a Municipal Pension Plan and new employees start out on 18 days vacation. As for stress, it depends on which worksite you work at and which job an employee is doing. I personally did not feel valued as an employee by the organization. The organization has a punitive approach towards dealing with issues. It’s a union company but they have jobs that are union and out of contract which is non union.

Not Great for Newcomers

Respiratory Therapist (Ancien employé) - Vancouver, BC - 21 janvier 2022

Workload is insane for the low pay. Minimum 5 ventilated patients in ICU for example, but could go up to 8. Paper charting, taking ABGs after every small vent change. Most coworkers were nice but some just treat you as if you're beneath them. My orienteer would sometimes laugh condescendingly when I made mistakes and assumed I was deliberately ignoring patients when I forgot a task. Management can easily come off as insensitive with their attitude or word choice. They will also have a "mistakes list" filed on you in secret when starting. It not only compiles serious infractions, but minor errors like going for lunch an hour late (they do not bother asking you to explain the situation). If this list grows sufficiently large it will be brought up in front of all the charge RTs and union, and you'll be quizzed in all future shifts. You'd better be able to answer these questions or you're at serious risk of termination. This questioning makes up a bulk of the "support" they promise you if you need it. They really want to emphasize how much they support you but they make up their mind about you pretty early on, and I suspect they only emphasize it due to the union getting on their case about all the RTs who have quit/been fired in the past year.

Points positifs

The city itself, and some staff are very nice.

Points négatifs

Curt management, low pay, hectic work environment with little room for error.

Extremely demanding work /standards: management suffers from critical flaws

Community Health Worker / Home Support Worker (Ancien employé) - Richmond, BC - 6 octobre 2021

Very important /keenly needed work assisting/ supporting elderly & vulnerable people to stay safe & healthy in their own homes. Health team support /back-up essential but, unfortunately, often delayed or unavailable—due to insufficient staffing levels (shortage of LPN nurses /skilled, properly-trained front-line workers. Unionized work environment is a major positive factor. Critical flaw/ important deficiencies in management: as agents of a key branch of BC Ministry of Health, IMHO making VCH appear squeaky-clean publicly & on social media (organizational politics)—sometimes translates as disrespectful, quietly-abusive treatment of front-line workers.

Points positifs

Well-funded (BC tax dollars), high standards of care, fulfilling meaningful work

Points négatifs

Frequently insufficient hours of home care available to clients

Had a great time working there too many managers

Health Care Worker (Ancien employé) - Vancouver, BC - 4 octobre 2021

Good fair pay. Too many Managers changing schedules or asking you too spy on fellow workers and report back. Nurses and co workers are great. If you can handle 12 hour shifts this is a good place to work.

Points positifs

Decent pay, great team work, everyday is differant

Points négatifs

Too many managers
