      Pros

      Colleagues are great, and are your saving grace in the horrid environment

      Cons

      This is a toxic organization ran by a number of sociopaths. Michael Marchbank allows his sociopathic senior executive to proliferate their vitriol. He is quite possible the poorest leader the organization has had.

      Advice to Management

      If things don't change Fraser Health will be driven into the ground

      Pros

      If you get into the right team, the atmosphere is great and the health benefits are also great.

      Cons

      There are some not so nice people, who like politics. If you don’t like being in the “in-crowd” or you don’t like politics, look elsewhere.

      Advice to Management

      Get rid of the people you know who are negatively disruptive. And in order to retain good talent, you need to be nicer to the people who just like to go to work and do a good job.

    7. "Poor organizational management and communication"

      I have been working at Fraser Health part-time (More than 10 years)

      Pros

      Many sites to choose from when you cannot find a decent manager. Some units actually find camaraderie amidst the chaos and are pleasant to workin.

      Cons

      Unethical and often unqualified leadership. Focus on cost savings hidden as quality care initiatives. Managers running wards and units on bare bones staffing to hit their budget targets. This is not good healthcare... or at least, not good enough for me to accept in my province! This all leads to moral distress, anxiety and attrition.

      Advice to Management

      Hire MBAs with emotional intelligence not RNs with masters in nursing who micro manage.
