Pros

Benefits were good, pay was decent, most colleagues and the facility were very nice.

Cons

There was definitely a wide divide between administration and the worker bees. Was very apparent in my training which mostly consisted of shadowing in both the assisted living and dementia areas. Experiences in the first few days ranged from excellent to poor. Alarming to hear peers tell me “this is how we do it, but don’t let administration know”. Seemed very hierarchical and administrators didn’t seem very engaged with floor staff. On my fifth and sixth day, I was sent home for no apparent reason. At $20 an hour and bills to pay, this was unacceptable.

It grieves us to read this assessment after just a week on the team. Our leaders spent considerable time with you over those few days both in group training and one-on-one in a concerted effort to welcome you and answer your questions. While disappointed that you did not have a positive experience, we are confident that we represented the mission and core values that distinguish the MorningStar brand. Caregiving is challenging work, requiring people with good hearts, the right attitude and a sustained willingness to put others, namely our residents, ahead of themselves.

Pros

None. Staff are horrible, not the cleanest facility and lack of care..State needs to come in and do a walk through. Does not even deserve a rating. 👎👎👎👎

Cons

Pay is horrible, staff treat you like dirt, residents not taken care of...High turnover, they hire anybody even with no experience. I would not recommend applying here. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. I WALKED OUT AFTER 20 MINUTES. Definitely would not have a loved one here..
