Pros

Loved the residents and their families. They are what keeps most Associate coming back day after day. Great team when they work together and not against each other.

Cons

No respect for the Associates or work/life balance. Unrealistic demands that can't be met even working 60+hrs/week including nights and weekends which is expected. Demeaning and demoralizing upper management. Focus purely on revenue, often at employee and resident expense.

Pros

health benefits are OK but there is very little to recommend about this company. The nursing side appears to have more cohesion, however every nurse I have spoken to complains they are overworked, so I don't know. Operations, Sales, Dining, Care staff, maintenance... experiences are simply horrible across the board.

Cons

complete lack of training, no corporate support, broken promises to employees of all levels, little to no regional support, quality of patient care seriously lacking, turnover is simply HORRIBLE

Pros

Management is very nice! The residents are very sweet and the work you do is rewarding. Very physically demanding, so it keeps me in shape!

Cons

The pay isn't that great, but if you come here just for the money, then I don't understand why. Every year employees get a bonus based on their performance though.
