Spencer house

This place is seriously understaffed. They hire people and can’t keep anyone because management is so brutal, they push new people right out the door. 

My first day working here I was immediately pushed to take on more hours than I agreed to. 

There’s not enough staff on every unit. Sometimes we don’t get breaks because there’s nobody to cover. They are breaking ministry standards for minimum staffing of LTC units. It’s actually dangerous. 

Residents aren’t getting the full care they deserve because we don’t have enough time. We have to tell them they need to wait because we can’t be in 3 places at once. 

Staff are miserable because the management is so bad.  They are all hardworking and not appreciated enough. 

I will not last here unless changes are made. 

Nurses and PSW STAFF WERE AMAZING AND HARDWORKING. 
upper management was terrible, least approachable group I’ve ever worked for. 
They would come on the floor during the worst times searching for ways to get staff in trouble instead of lending a helping hand. 
One of the upper management with no experience in nursing or PSW work once claimed she was basically a nurse, during a meeting speaking about the stress the nursing staff was under. 
Understaffed. Over worked. And underpaid. 
One nurse to over 60 pts at night sometimes without PSW support. 

Management expectation of what is to be accomplished in a day exceeds what any one person could possibly complete. Management is not open to constructive comments or suggestions. The union has no power and does not have to ability to help you keep your job no matter how long you have worked for the company. The Administrator allows personal feelings to outweigh what is best for the company.  They are not interested in the well being of their residents or their staff. People are only numbers in a large corporation only interested in making money.

Don't be five minutes late, and being in Emergency with a loved one is not an excuse. You'll get written up. There are No benefits for PT employees. They are short of Staff constantly, the Management are all Nurse's and you'll be lucky if one or two of them help once in awhile, and they will work PT Staff to the ground if allowed. If you don't pick up OT or extra shifts they will make you feel guilty, and comment. It's every person for their own at Spencer House, little or no comradery, and lots of backstabbing. Might be a nice, new building, and has a lot of activities for the residence but it'll make you miserable, stay away!!

I have been with the City of Mississauga for 15 years.  In the 15 years that I have been with the city I have been in the following departments: Parks and Recreation, Business, Economic Development and Community Services.  I started as a volunteer, then a part-timer and eventually to full time status.  My review of the city is great as I grew with the City of Mississauga and have been taught several skills to easily transfer to other companies that have similar work duties.

There was too much infighting among the staff of different jobs, example psw versus dietary aide.  The management did not seem to have the skills to deal with conflict and just told everyone to get over the issue and get on with working, instead of working it out.  There was also a lot of favoritism in the workplace, some worked every day others got days off.   

If i could give a zero rating i would have. The most horrible management team. They are bullies and gossips all time. Take hours of lunch breaks and doesn’t help out. If we need any help they just say “ it’s your responsibility and lookout how you get this done but we need this done by the end of the day”. The Most horrible people ever. Gives your stress and this place is not fit to work for your mental health. 

Part time workers will not recieve benefits. The Human resource team are highly unprofessional. They do not care about the well being of their staff and will ungratefully work you to the bone if you let them. Staff are dropping like flies and they are in a staffing crisis FOR A REASON. Do NOT waste your time working here. Take care of yourself and find a more respectful company to attach your name to.  Not worth it whatsoever.

Management needed to be a little more compassionate,and shift work is hard on any family so it was difficult to do both, enjoyed working with team members and working along with the residents and helping them as they needed it and making sure that they were treated like my own family would like to be treated and reporting to my management when I did not see them being treated properly

It’s an average long term care home, with average management. The workplace culture is very clique. The hardest part of the job was that they were understaffed literally daily. The schedules were hard to find work/life balance and because of all the call ins they call nonstop to ask you to work 12s. The most enjoyable part of the job was being able to help people.
