Nightingale

This was a good company to work for; in that there are lots of opportunities to learn more about ostomy, compression and mastecomy.  Unfortunately, my former co-worker was a passive-aggressive bully. I did address my concerns with management, on more than one occasion, but did not receive support.   Also, with Nightingale, you also have to wear many hats.  You are expected to clean the shop (from scrubbing toilets to taking out the garbage), fix computers/printers/photocopier, receive stock, stock the shelves, prepare mail, order supplies, ship supplies, A/R on outstanding accounts, daily cash outs, bank deposits, open and close shop, book couriers and above all that: provide good customer service.   When working by yourself, or along with a difficult co-worker, the job ended up being a lot tougher than it needed to be.  I also wanted to mentioned that there was no lunch room.  You ate your lunch in the back room with the shelves of stock and toilet.  Between phones ringing, clients coming in and the ostomy clinic in full swing, your half hour lunch break would be filled with constant interruptions.  The only reason why I stayed so long was because of the clients.  They were and still are amazing individuals.

I enjoyed my work and was very disappointed that they didn't just move me to another account when they lost the one I was working on. With an efficiency rating of 98.4%, I was shocked to receive a call and be told the next report I finished would be my last. That was all the notice I received. With my experience, felt should be shifted to another account. But then again, I had no idea just how many accounts they might have lost and there might not have been anything else available. They had already changed the name of the company while I worked for them and changed status of all employees to independent contractors. Also, benefits were changed and not for the better.

Great learning experience in terms of technologies used. Great set of people to work with. However management set unreasonable deadlines and expects you to frequently put in overtime hours to meet those deadlines. Pay is below industry average. no bonus is offered. Benefits are sub par. Management makes false promises to employees that they never deliver. Overall left employees unsatisfied resulting in high rate of attrition.

Very Nice Corporate Headquarters and good culture. Unique place to work as sales leader had to blend Canadian Culture to US.Spent most of my time on the Road so required a good deal of support because I covered most of the US. Could Not have worked for better Sales Manager or Culture. Travel became toughest part.

Had a happy time working over here during my employment time and explored and learnt new stuff and technologies.
Learned some of the new methodologies and processes while working here which i can implement in other places for a better process orientation.

I learned time management and how to have a better eye for detail. The office staff is friendly and floor management will do their best to make you laugh.

I believe its an amazing and a friendly workplace. Its a workplace where I got a chance to use my skills and knowledge about IT. They did help me to improve on my week points which really made me move ahead in my career.

Great Family company with very good values and ethics. Friendly environment and excellent product and sales team. Manufacturer of amazing products(all 100% made in Canada).

Super super amazing product and smart man behind the company but overall stuck in a time warp literally still use a typewriter ! Overall a decent experience but I would negotiate a high pay to start.

I enjoyed working at Nightingale, there was some rude guests but for the most part management was supportive and the tip pool/team service environment lead to smooth service.
