Pros

I love the work. I don't personally work for the paycheck, I work for the residents. Michelle is an amazing DON that will work on the floor as a CNA or nurse. I love how we all work together between therapy, nursing, dietary, and housekeeping. It's a great job that allows many opportunities to expand. They are always able to work on my schedule since I'm in school and can't work as much as I used to. Honestly, I don't see myself leaving the company anytime soon.

Cons

The biggest con is the fact that we are short staffed. But tell me what healthcare profession isn't short? We get a lot of people that act like they are interested but are just there for an easy paycheck but then they learn it's the complete opposite. Then they quit. Or people that leave because it's short but they don't understand that makes us more short. Also, it's tragic how many people have probably overlooked applying to our company because of all these negative posts. Most of these people were probably let go or quit because they were doing something they weren't supposed to or just wasn't doing their job at all. I love this job and I love the people and I wouldn't change it for the world.

Pros

Company owns all it's buildings, so no management company, and they have never sold any buildings. Everyone in the company just got a holiday bonus, and they are financially super stable. It's been years since I've even seen that after COVID, so it's really nice to see the company give back, especially in this economy. Very strong leadership team with a lot of great initiatives going on. I am new, but in the time I've been here we started paying for LPN's to complete their RN, work with local schools to help develop training programs and inspire future healthcare professionals of tomorrow,

Cons

There are a lot of things going on, and a lot of staffing ups and downs, but that's most healthcare companies today. Even though they struggle, it seems like they really do try to get creative to find solutions and the CEO and COO are regularly in and out of our buildings giving support where they can.
