I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Brookdale Senior Living (Chattanooga, TN) in Aug 2015
Interview
It took 3 weeks to get an interview. Then, it was about another month before all of the hiring process was complete so I could start training. You have to go through background checks, physicals, disease testing, drug testing, etc. Once you actually start training, you begin with about 16 to 20 hours for computer training. Then you have 3 days of shadowing another employee. All in all, it took about 6 weeks before I started actually getting paid for all of the time I spent getting hired.
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Brookdale Senior Living (Albany, OR) in Jul 2019
Interview
Very fast, not very informative. And false leading. They tell you one thing and do another. They don't follow a very structured question path. It's very informative from the beginning.

Interview
Quick interview process. Applied the same day I got hired. Interview was short and brief. She barely asked questions about the job more so if I had any barriers on keeping me from coming to work.
