WestCana Services Inc

Westcana is the same as compass and sodexo but they pay more. But it really doesn't matter about the company, it depends on the manager and how they run the site. I have mixed feeling about my site. I've gotten 3 raises since being hired; however, the last raise I got came with a half an hour cut in my shift.

Benefits are strange. Vision is not covered, but a 200 dollar credit (every 2 years) is offered by the company for the purchase of glasses.

Lastly, were always short staffed. The jobs pay well for the effort of work, but it's expected you know everything right after you've finished training, so not a lot of people stick because of bad training and or people expect too much too soon. 

This job was working in Long Term Care.  I enjoyed the atmosphere and the ability to have job satisfaction at the end of every shift because you were able to help someone.  My days were full days with always something to do.  I enjoyed all of my co-workers, as this was a facility that had 3 different companies working at it, but we all had to work together to get the job completed, each day.  I would have to say that the hardest part of my job was when a resident passed.  Knowing that it was going to happen was one thing, but when it did happen it was at times difficult.

a need to consult with employees in changers to benniefits,in new changers.
understanding you can be rushed when you dont have help from fallow staff.and are taken other area of the kitchen.
extra equipment needed for certain areas .time saving jobs.
i enjoyed the variety of types of cooking menus
the knowledge not to rush into a job without checking all the common work areas in staffing and equipment .
the understanding every place is different.it takes time for equipment to be repaired 2 weeks and more.and more.check funding for the job.
culture has to be addressed to a variety .language barrier in groups in 
work area.

The utter lack of capability to manage their employees is baffling. Their “managers” are a poor excuse for leaders and lack any ability to hold themselves accountable. Lots of false promises. They depend on the hardest working employees and rather than reward their hard work, it becomes an expectation that they will pick up the slack of others. All they give in return is stress and a honestly laughable “Epic Employee” T-shirt. Do not work here. Trust me it will be a mistake. Quitting was the best decision I ever made. 

Most of the staff are exhausted, too much work, some employees worked so hard and some are very lazy, and the management can not do anything about it. If you worked so hard, most of the work are given to you because others are lazy and you can't finish the job on time because you have a lot of things to do.The chef is very kind to the extent that some lazy employees are taking advantage. Exhausting place to work in general if you are a hard worker employee. No team work.

Great work environment: flexible schedules, great team and lots of growth opportunities.

Got a great chance to work among health care professionals such as nurses, doctors, physiotherapists, and pharmacists. 

Great management team who are always willing to address employees' concerns and come up with plausible solution.

Very much enjoy dealing with the residents, but often left on my own with lots still to do, particularly if care aids called away.  Some new employees, and some older, more interested in their cellphones than the job!

Annoying that after over 10 years experience at this location, new hires often offered more than I earn.
