Crossroads for Women

This job is really rewarding! Management really encourages external training and fosters a great workplace cultures. Staff/colleagues are fantastic. Schedule includes time for debriefing and management is always available if you need support or an ear to listen.

At Crossroads for Women, I really feel like I'm able to make a difference for the people we support (clients). It's not always easy working with people with extensive trauma and in constant crisis, but at the end of the day, we know that we made a difference for them.

If you think you can work in a crisis environment, I definitively recommend working for Crossroads. After three months of working full-time we have access to medical coverage, and after 1 years there's different benefit packages, including RRSPs.

Days go by quickly. You never know what will happen in a day. The workers do hard work but it's rewarding work. Every little we do to help a person in need has an impact on their life and that is what matters. 

Management is open to any ideas, comments, and suggestions. I have never felt so empowered to speak up before. The culture at work is one of empowerment. We are very supportive of one another. 

The hardest part of the job is realizing that we can't help everyone. We have to meet the client where they are at and that is sometimes hard to comprehend. 

The most enjoyable part of the job is the flexibility. We have a job to do and as long as we do it, that's what matters. Great place to work at!

Roll call or attendance
You need to be aware of everything during your shift 
Write your logs and other reports 
Debrief with your colleagues 
Some days can be difficult. For example during in shelter crisis or excessive amount of donations during holidays 

They are not very strict on the rules of confidentiality. Some of the staff is poorly trained. You don't really receive any training. Management was nice, but it was hard to tell if they were genuine or not. The work environment was stressful and fast-paced, which is a given since it is a shelter. There was a lot of favouritism towards the clients (some would be given ample chances, while others were kicked out after breaking a rule).

Absolutely loved this job! I have learned so much and helped so many women and children while employed here. Unfortunately, I found that working overnights shifts were disabling me from living the healthy and balanced life that I strive for. I have no negative things to say regarding this job or place of work.

Working at Crossroads for women, was the best experience. The management team is wonderful and they listen to your concerns. They have their employees well-being as a priority and will make sure they have everything they need to do their job. Working there for me have been the most rewarding experience to have help the women and children 

I feel very supported at work. They encourage a great home/ work life balance. Great benefits backage after probation period. Compassionate staff and internal advancement opportunities.

Stressful and fast-paced, not for everyone. Salary is thankfully higher now than when I was there. Hours are very long.
The real problem is management, which leaves a lot to be desired.

Rewarding work, but very stressful. Management has definitely some improvements to make. Amazing coworkers, who deserve to be more acknowledged for their effort, time and hard work.

Absolutely love working for Crossroads for Women. They provide me with health benefits, great management feel supported at all times. Great salary! Love the flexibility.
