OHA Reviews

Where to start? Long story short: - upper management is full of men who’ve created a boys club, spending money without limitations on irrelevant education, trips, dinners, and expensing it ALL. - low salary, lack of respect for overworked junior staff - staff are fired all the time with no remorse or explanation - the people that are “in” with mgmt are the ones to get promoted otherwise eventually booted out - staff are berated by mgmt while the favoured ones stroll in at 10:30am and leave whenever without consequence - very slow movement of work - company looks like all they do is health and wellness activities, team building, basically all fun and no play....oh but only for the ppl that are in the club :-) - mgmt making 80% of the company’s accumulated salary- what???? I understand office politics and lack of transparency from upper mgmt are not uncommon but OHA has such good potential, unfortunately it’s too crowded with manipulative people who are somehow getting by with doing nothing, making a fortune, and getting free vacations out of it all.

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.
