      Decent pay overshadowed by poor leadership and disorganization

      Pros

      The pay at my location is pretty decent thanks to our Executive Director and HR person. That has changed recently as new corporate leadership has taken over and our leaders have to fight for every penny for us.

      Cons

      Don't let all of the "best workplace" awards fool you, this company is one of the worst I've ever worked for. The corporate leadership team micromanages to destruction. The community leadership teams are left being told what to do and every move to make with no authority or autonomy. If you say blue, they say red and if you change to red they then say blue. The HR team begs the employees to complete surveys, the company is disorganized, and its no surprise they are selling off communities to try to get out of debt. Save yourself a headache and go to one of the many other senior living organizations across the US.
