-management was on point and supportive of mine and the clients' needs
-workplace culture was enthusiastic and energetic
-the hardest part of the job was to see how much some clients suffered, but
-the most enjoyable part was to see those same clients thrive throughout the length of the program

Everyday was different at Cheo. I was working on the Mental health unit and not one day was the same depending on the patients needs. I've learned to be more patient than I already am and that I leave work at work and not take it home with me. The hardest part of the job was wanting to do so much more for the kids but there is only so much you can do. That being said, all in all the best part of this job is when the patients were having good days and getting better. I knew the team had made a difference.

I worked on the float team, and although I did not stay, I was very impressed with my managers. They were always professional and very proactive. They really try to create a positive work atmosphere and I was extremely grateful for that. Unfortunately, some staff do not follow that mindset, my issues were mainly with some nurses. In one specific department. But if you are dedicated, and willing to learn, CHEO is a fantastic place to be.

The environment is very conducive to work life balance and management cares about your well-being. Meetings/huddles are usually fun but productive.
There’s a culture of inclusiveness, care and family while embodying the elements that drive  productivity.

I worked in the kitchen at CHEO for years. The culture of the work place is toxic and management doesn’t care that staff are dropping like flies and constantly going on stress leave. Management had the boomer logic of “if it’s not broke don’t fix it” despite negative impacts on employees both physically and mentally.

Healthcare is underfunded. Despite this, there area lot of hardworking individuals who do their best for the patients. Understaffed in some areas, making work extra stressful at times. Some people can be rude but hey, that’s healthcare. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Excellent team environment, a lot of support. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
High stress environment, understaffed sometimes. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very inclusive and supportive environment.

Everyone at CHEO is simply amazing. The way they make you feel is like your at home. The way they care for the children as if they were there own. Such a beautiful place to work and be in. Getting to know children's stories and life journey is pretty amazing.
