Pros

Compensation: The pay was actually good, but it doesn't make up for the other significant downsides

Cons

This is about their Finance Department **Management Style**: Stuck in the past, refuses to adopt new technology. Everything is painfully manual and paperwork-heavy. **Workplace Culture**: Expect a high school-like environment. Bullying is common, and management turns a blind eye. **Transparency Issues**: Get ready for a lot of smooth talking. Management consistently lies and misrepresents situations to cover flaws. **Professional Growth**: Non-existent. Working here won't do anything for your resume or career development. **Overall Wellbeing**: Seriously, stay away. The job will take a toll on your mental health and leave you regretting the experience.

What a mess.

Pros

Worked with some truly great people until senior leadership started making working there so awful.

Cons

Truly think becoming a part of UHN ruined Michener. The pay is still much lower than elsewhere, the "perks" that were supposed to offset the low wages keep being taken away, and leadership expects people to do their work with no resources, no tools, no flexibility, and no opportunities for growth or recognition of staff's hard work. Beyond that, insisting people come back to the office with no other explanation than "for the culture" is absurd. What culture? Senior leadership aren't on site; why should the plebs be? Must be a coincidence that Michener has become a revolving door since the "Principal" took control of the Institute. His leadership has been a disaster for the school.
