worked as a community health nurse
Home Care Nurse (Ancien employé) – Vancouver, BC – 14 juin 2019
I did not spend much time at this job as there was not enough on the job training available and therefore I could not continue. The environment was nice, clean and respectful.
Difficult place to work \
Facilities Maintenance and Operations Supervisor (Ancien employé) – North Vancouver, BC – 26 juin 2019
poor adversarial place to work with difficult union and near sighted mangement that is always looking for a scapegoat despite good preformance and reviews
Great opportunities and interesting projects
Manager (Ancien employé) – Vancouver, BC – 5 juin 2019
Interesting projects and great benefits. Opportunities for growth with new projects. Only downside is the salary freezes that are sometimes implemented.

Clerical Support Clerk (Ancien employé) – Lower Mainland, BC – 23 mai 2019
Over the ten years I worked for Vancouver Coastal Health, I learned so much! Every department I worked in opened a new world for me: psychology, geriatric issues, community health. The work ranged from the mundane, i.e. photocopying, filing, to very interesting tasks, i.e., scoring mental health questionnaires, dicta typing, helping with social programs, etc.
The work was quite stable.
Being publicly funded, the health region was, however, affected by changes in provincial government and its policies. This affected staffing rates, budgets, and pay.

Administrative Assistant (Ancien employé) – Vancouver, BC – 20 mai 2019
Staff are nice, you need to work hard to earn your place. What the company does for the community is amazing. Lots of very smart, experienced, and intelligent people to work with.
Toxic work climate
vch past employee (Ancien employé) – BC – 24 mars 2019
terrible work environment full of toxic people. No two-way communication exists from management to workers.
Onboarding and training process is ineffective, and does not facilitate a high-learning climate.
I do not recommend working here

Friendly and supportive workplace
Junior Business Analyst (Ancien employé) – 590 West 8th Ave – 9 janvier 2019
The people here always try their best to help each other out and try to be friends with one another.
There are moments of urgency and stress and during those moments, people are always willing to try their best to make it work.

Productive and fun workplace
Licensed Practical Nurse (Ancien employé) – 601 West Broadway, Vancouver, Britsh Columbia – 8 janvier 2019
worked Full scope as a Licensed Practical Nurse, excellent place to work in different settings such as: nursing home, assisting living, rehabilitation
Very poor management with no individual or team support
Administrative Assistant (Ancien employé) – Richmond, BC – 5 janvier 2019
Too many layers of management within one department with no one taking accountability. When they hit a glitch, they start to point fingers at others. No support from managers for their team. Too much red tape and beaucracy which frustrates patients. They say People First, but it isn't people first for patients and certainly not for employees. Under the Ministry of Health, they take millions of dollars of taxpayers money to profit in healthcare.
Pay is not good for administrative staff and there is no room for promotion but only horizontal moves.
Those who call under casual or temporary full-time are most disadvantaged.
Mgmt only appreciate you because they are short in staff and desperately need to keep you working. Once they get what they want, you become just another employee #. I have not met one manager who actually cares about the employees after them.
Young managers have power ego choosing to intimidate and bully rather than communicate in an effective way. You may say this is an exaggeration but believe me, you will only experience this throughout Richmond VCH once you are in the system. Then you become just another statistic.
You will only regret it if you work for Vancouver Coastal Health. If you are, it is because you have fallen into the union umbrella and fit right into it all.

Management
Clerk (Employé actuel) – VGH – 16 décembre 2018
Working with VCH gave me a greater understanding towards assisting patient care. It gave me a general of how the system works in the hospital.
I felt that there are a decent amount of opporunities toward workers who work in the industry a lot longer vs those who are very new to the company. I have been experiencing a lot of drama lately and coworkers talking behind each others back....

Great Vacation and Benefits; Poor Management Practices
Recruitment Associate (Ancien employé) – Vancouver, BC – 16 décembre 2018
Arrive to work on-time and leave on-time. A fantastic vacation package consisting of 4-weeks to start, and fully paid benefits (deductibles present for most services). The workplace culture is poor. Management understands this is a problem however not much is done to rectify the issue. Management stated room for growth and advancement opportunities during interview process, however once you are on-board, opportunities are few and far between and given based on seniority (even in excluded environments).
Horrible Management
Front Desk Attendant (Ancien employé) – Vancouver, BC – 29 novembre 2018

Great place to work
Nursing Unit Assistant (Employé actuel) – Vancouver, BC – 23 octobre 2018
I started as a casual float employee at VGH and have had almost no drama at work. Majority of the people I have worked with have ranged from either pleasant to enjoyable.
The work load varies from very light to very busy and most days feel quite fulfilling in terms of feeling valued and needed.
The hardest part is witnessing the loss of loved ones.
The most enjoyable part of the job is being surrounded by people you are happy to see every shift you work, the stories you share and the friendships you build, especially if you find the unit where you feel you most belong.
The only set-back in terms or my position is that there is no real opportunity for job advancement.

Supportive
Mental Health Worker/Youth Worker (Employé actuel) – Burnaby, BC – 23 octobre 2018
Vancouver Coastal Health is a very supportive organization and caters well to their employees. The work culture is swamping to be around as other employees are all hard working and professional.
Very fun to work at!
Accounting Co-op Student (Ancien employé) – Vancouver, BC – 24 septembre 2018
Very fun to work at! It is an engaging environment and my managers were very helpful. It is a valuable opportunity to work as a coop and full time. I really enjoyed the experience.
Hard Word but very rewarding
RCA (Ancien employé) – Powell River, BC – 25 août 2018
