Hamilton Urban Core Reviews

Everything about this place is very rough. They prioritize their image as a “black-run organization” over experience and expertise. Meaning, they employ black staff as managers and other superiors for image purposes but they truly have no clue what they are doing. The environment is horrendous. Your mental health will take a serious toll. They don’t value/respect any employment standards, workplace safety, or basic human rights. They’re not even registered with WSIB. Do NOT work here.

I should have listened to myself at the beginning with the flags. Told myself it was okay because it is great work experience. Work load is so heavy everyone works on their lunch breaks, at home or stays late. This population is more complicated and has a bigger need. Already taking lower than industry pay to help the good of the community. There is no lieu accommodations here though. Benefits arent much. Im happy to work extra if I get something out of it. The next big red flag is them claiming I have to pay for my benefits. And I have to retroactively pay for their mistakes. Their lack of communication is their biggest flaw. The lack of communication is everywhere. One day it will all get cleaned up there I hope. But when I started I commented on this and when I left I was still commenting on it. I have no doubt the clients notice it also.
