Pros
Generous benefits package. Some smart and friendly staff. This organization has attempted to modernize in recent years, however, this is a slow transition; with a toxic work environment, transformation is nearly impossible.
Cons
Lack of Opportunity: If you are a young person looking to work hard and 'work your way up,' look elsewhere. This is a small organization that is only getting smaller. Favouritism and nepotism are shockingly blatant, rampant and continue for years. Rewards System: Almost no opportunities for bonuses and pay increases for junior/lower paid employees. Senior staff take home massive salaries - almost as much as some hospital CEOs. (Reminder, OHA is a small, non-profit organization.) General environment/culture: People are fired ALL THE TIME. Sometimes without a word or an email about it. People who are left behind exist in a culture of fear; keeping braves faces while they believe they’ll be next in line. With everyone too afraid to speak up, only one or two people get to run with ideas (which appears to be what leadership is going for). Flexibility: OHA only recently made certain IT systems changes making remote work possible. While this is a step in the right direction, the culture and structure of the organization make it nearly impossible for full adoption to take place. For instance, some People Managers are not on-board with the new working from home policy, so you may not be able to enjoy this ‘perk’ if you happen to be on one of those teams.
