Pros

Most buildings are union and pay better than most in an effort to make you want to stay.

Cons

Short staffed, constant turnover, some Coworkers are bullies. Always being called in and/or mandated to stay.

Pros

If you were fortunate enough to be one of the 'chosen ones', or happened to have a skill set that was needed at the moment, Avamere could be financially rewarding for selected employees.

Cons

Avamere proudly posts its "core values" video all over its website, which couldn't be more hypocritical. With turnover that far exceeds the industry average, Avamere treats employees like nothing more than cogs in a wheel. No training, limited and outdated policies and procedures. Organization is top heavy, paying for large executive salaries, luxury car fleet, private jet, and of course the press worthy island in Lake Oswego.

Pros

As a company no pros. I worked with some wonderful people and of course residents.

Cons

The company wants to make money, end of story. Refusal to replace broken or sub standard equipment.
