OVERALL DYNACARE IS THE WORST COMPANY TO WORK FOR (and society thought Walmart was bad).
Pros
Very little... work downtown (although that sucks at times due to no parking)
Cons
Where to start. I once read someone’s criticism for my employer that I thought was humorous yet not realistic (at least to me at the time it wasn’t). Now I feel the full effects of that evaluation and completely understand it. The criticism stated working at Dynacare (formally –Gamma-Dynacare) was like being in an abusive relationship. That the company just hounds you to work more/harder/better and in response the company disrespects its employees causing emotional and physical stress. I realize it now; I am living it right now. I have worked incredibly hard for this company over years of my time, I averaged 90 hours biweekly. I made so many scarifies to work extra weekends and nights to help better the company. I get nothing in return. NOT even a thank you. When un-appreciation by the company’s management is noted by multiple employees, there is retreat on words and a ‘we will change and be better’ cliché is said. That lasts for a week and then back to the un-appreciation, the hounding to do more work, stay longer, and come in on days off begins in a cycle of torment. This repeats till people go get injured through RSIs, lack of sleep, and go on stress leave (4 in one department and still counting I’m sure). This company does nothing good for its employees but try to beat down their spirit till nothing exists. Once happy and content employees end up forced to attend therapy to cope with the emotional strain that is their job and even turned to medical help for the physical strain on their bodies from being overworked.
