Pros
I have been working at Beacon for over five years, but I have been in the housing industry for almost 20 years. It is exciting working for Beacon because of the commitment of the Beacon Team members to provide the best living experience possible. The team starts at the Beacon community with the property manager, administrative staff, maintenance staff and resident services staff. The entire team works diligently to provide excellent customer services and resident services. The extra level of resident services includes: referrals for social services, entitlement benefits, computer classes, after school homework assistance and wellness programs to help seniors age in place longer. It is a fantastic place to work! It is the commitment of the dedicated staff, the high level of our housing product and leading our teams using our mission “Living Well by Design.” The leadership of the company always has an open door and stay connected with staff members at our communities through a “Communication Promise” that encourages staff to offer new ideas and ways of doing business by “kicking it up” to a supervisor or bring it up at weekly team meetings. This model of communication has benefited the team members and their community by changing the way we do business and listening closely to the staff in the field.
Cons
Due to the widespread nature of the portfolio, a great deal of travel is required. But, it is the only way to truly know what is going on at the site level.
