Not the worst

Pros

The communities are beautiful and well cared for. The residents are incredible to work with. Management actually knows when they are doing and tend to be an awesome support system.

Cons

Back breaking work for terrible pay. I understand low starting wages, many of the care staff that come through the door are not up to par in my eyes, but there really should be a system where after a certain time period the staff in which proved themselves should be given a good raise. On this salry you must choose between rent or bills or a car payment. There is no possible way to afford more than one of those at a time.

Pros

Management is Supportive and encouraging, with feedback given in a productive way. Residents are wonderful and they have many activities to choose from, thanks to a great activities director.

Cons

Short staffed. Management continually snowed by interview candidates. Recently hired staff are surly and rude to residents and coworkers. Very "know it all" attitude that is off putting to co-workers and residents. Management can be out of touch with staff on the STNA level. Mgmt. relies on staff members to police each other, rather than a supervisor or work lead, causing animosity between co-workers.

Pros

I get to live the mission everyday. To be in a sales position can make it difficult to feel as though you are helping someone. I get this feeling each day.

Cons

It is incredibly hard to manage all aspects of this role but worthwhile.
