REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF WATERLOO

I typically work 8 hour shifts, ranging from days, evenings and nights. I help create and follow care plans for residents. Counting and administrating medications. Improving the over all quality of care for the residents including, transferring, feeding, toileting, communicating and keeping a professional relationship with the residents and families. I have experience with Palliative care, rehab care, post surgical care and geriatric care, as well as knowledge on RAI MDS.  

The region has an excellent education program that I benefited from. I worked well with plenty of managers at Sunnyside. Worked well with countless staff from varying cultures. Hardest part of the job is always when we got low staffing which crunches the work and time, which can be stressful but has taught me well to adapt to various situations. Most enjoyable part is working on a complex care plan in a team setting and seeing the resident and families gradually benefit from it greatly.

Bus driver is the worst job ever. As a female, was groped, sworn at, threatened, spit at etc and management reviews the videos and blames the driver for not preventing it. If someone complains, you are suspended. Every move you make is videotaped and it is very stressful. There is never enough time to do a route carefully and customers abuse you if you are a minute late.  You do different runs all the time and there are no direction provided and you are not permitted a GPS. You have to figure out every run yourself. It’s also physically painful on knees, back, shoulders. Diabetes, heart disease and depression are huge problems too.  New people have awful shifts. Money and benefits are really good which is why people stay.

I have enjoyed working for the Region of Waterloo mainly because of the openess of our management and the freedom to do my Job. I have never thought about quiting and the only reason I wish to change Jobs is I want to be in the Northern Park of Ontario. I look forward to being in a smaller comunity and the outdoors. My job up until 4 years ago was mainly outside work. I was responsible for the testing, colection, submission, and data management of Groundwater for the Region of Waterloo's Solid Waste Group. My co-workers are a great bunch of people and I enjoy the social asspect of this position. 

Conduct transportation related studies, forecasting transportation demand and preparing transportation sub-area plans in accordance to a Ten Year Regional Transportation Capital Program. Write transportation reports and participating in public committee consultation meetings. Analyzed the need and justification for transportation projects and made recommendations to a senior transportation engineer or to the Planning & Works Committee and Council.

Learned various techniques in traffic engineering, transportation planning and management.

I was given opportunities for advancement and spent most of my career there. Fantastic pension and benefits. Great people.

Excellent corporate values of service, integrity, respect, collaboration and innovation.

Much cleaner than industrial site work independently and with other trades and coworkers, work  was always different each day, really liked supervisorystaff, and good team atmosphere 
Really enjoyed representing the region

The region of Waterloo takes care of their employees. They provide an upbeat and evolving workplace with fair wages, comprehensive benefits packages and employee assistance programs.

Overall, a good place to work. Salary is great, but there could be greater awareness paid to work-life balance. There are some opportunities for advancement.
