Workload is very heavy, high stress and high expectations from management. They expect you to be able to do everything in 8 hours for 40 people, on top of that you’re helping the care staff when you’re short. Managers are willing to help up until a certain point then they say you’re on your own and have to do everything. They say they’re there to support you and help. When it comes down to it the expectations are way too high, there is A LOT of residents there, they don’t just expect you to do the LTC side but they also expect you to go over to the AL side and help them there when you’re already busy taking care of the people on your side. It was great in the beginning until they continue to throw workload at you and you feel like you can’t get it all done. Then when the next person comes on shift they’re mad at you because you are struggling to keep up with the amount of people we are expected to care for. 
people aren’t happy to be there and fake that they are. When you really hear them say “I don’t want to be here” “I don’t feel like being here” “why is this so stressful””why is this place so toxic”. If they feel that you’re not a good fit they will let you go days before your probation is over. Being in a small community I find out that I’m not the first one, I’m not the only one and it is the higher ups that will dispose of you. Manager will state we will have our meeting next week then fire you over the phone the next day. If you don’t fit in they will let you go. I was warned prior to applying, I decided I would form my own opinion on the place and after that experience I will never recommend it to anyone. 
They have some absolutely wonderful nurses there but that’s not the problem, it’s management. 
If you’re sick also don’t expect compassion from them because they don’t care. 

Workers are awesome. management SUCKS! Doesnt care about employees. Does whatever they they want. Benefits is basically next to nothing better off paying your own private insurance. Parking is terrible. 12 spot for the whole building. They want employees to park at the road or across the mall. Not canadian tire because you will be towed. Nurses are awesome though especially the old nurse who got more experiences than what they get paid for. Residents are awesome as always. Basically management sucks. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The fact that I met such great co workers there

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The management. All they think about is money and themselves

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very very toxic management. It's a hierarchy there.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Spending my day with residents. Only see the management when someone's in trouble there's no communication.

If at all possible don’t fall for hype. Not at all what I thought I was getting into . This company does not care about being the best at what they do.  Manager is lacking training and varied experience. No motivation . 

Extremely poor, unprofessional management, and hiring process. Poorly run, and an all around awful place to be employed. Highly unrecommended job. All sections of staff do not get along with one another, which makes working uncomfortable, and dreadful to attend.

Management played favourites with new employees to make them feel like they are important. Once new employees came in, the less newer employees were ignored. There were no repercussions given to employees who broke the rules.
