Pros
Like McDonald's you will be able to find one of these places on every corner. Like McDonald's you literally cannot eat your every meal here, every day. This is not a company where any resident or staff can thrive, but, maybe just survive.
Cons
Careless is the word that comes to mind when I think about the train wreck of the broken Emeritus and the robotic Brookdale coming together. What can Wall Street and any investors hope to gain by seeing this Frankenstein of a company literally distort the real need to in our country of caring for seniors. Emails and memos come out defending the management team and even saying our most recent "Top Ten Worst Places to Work" is just fabricated by "some disgruntled former employees". I still work here because I am too tired to look for another job and I have little to no hope for my own career future. I miss so many of the leaders who created the original Brookdale and American Retirement Company, as they brought a real heart and soul to believing we all at the community level could really care and be responsible. Now, we are treated like robots in a computer dashboard world of keeping the toilet paper and food costs below budget. There is no focus on our residents or our staff. Only numbers and the little daily "metrics" of micromanaging our leaders and this simple, but over data driven Brookdale world of believing this is any type of real management.
