      It's a hospital Job

      Mar. 1, 2023 - Ward Clerk 
      Recommend
      CEO Approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You have a job and it pays decent. You get free food and items from time to time. You can get discounts on hotels and other things.

      Cons

      Ward clerks are not unionized. If you aren't unionized, you will get tossed out if you have a petty manager. Don't even think of going to HR without a union, because they're internal. They're unprofessional and stand behind the managers. If you have a mental health crisis, don't expect anyone to care. Your manager may get rid of you and even block you from getting another job if they are petty enough. Oh, and it also pays less for clerks when compared to other hospital networks. I am severely mentally and emotionally scarred from the treatment I received after working there for nearly eight years.

      Pros

      Large downtown hospital network with lots of innovative projects going on. Opportunity to learn daily. Great people - mostly. Ability to impact the lives and offer hope and great care to patients. Townhalls are good. Wish we had more of them.

      Cons

      Typical hospital issues of too much work for too little pay. Pays about what other hospitals pay. Many admin roles work remotely now, which make some things harder to do. Executive are disconnected with on the ground employees. Downtown Toronto expensive. HR department is very inexperienced and not very effective.
