Pros

The pay was decent for the position I had.

Cons

The COO is into micromanagement, and expects you to put in a 12-14 hour work day, EVERY DAY. If you leave after 8 hours she treats you as though you had abandoned your job! She claims that Palolo Chinese Home is "family friendly" for their employees--yet if you need to take a day off to take your child to the doctor or for some other reason concerning your family, you get lots of flack for it! She does not treat everyone equally, and has her favorites. She gossips among her fellow managers about her employees and then smiles and speaks sweetly to them in their faces. I've witnessed this very often, as I was once a part of the management team. She manages the support staff with an iron fist, just like her iron heart--is it any wonder that they have such a high staff turnover rate? Do yourself a favor--think twice before working there!

Pros

The team here genuinely cares about the residents and patients here, and you can feel that every day. Every month we receive so many thanks from family members which really makes us feel appreciated by the community we serve especially during busy times. Management is approachable and open to new ideas, and the work feels meaningful because you’re actually making a difference for our kupuna. Our CEO really cares about the staff and care we provide. She is willing to roll up her sleeves to help get the job done. The environment feels welcoming and family-like, and there’s a lot of pride in the care our team provides.

Cons

While there are a lot of stalls for on-site employee parking, around 40 or so, it would be great to have a few extra stalls

Pros

One of the best places I have worked and the top LTC facility on the island. I have been at several facilities and this place is well organized and managed. Good management, everyone works very hard and is a fun place to celebrate life and achievements with your friends & coworkers. Staff celebrate every holiday and multicultural events, special to residents and staff background.

Cons

No major cons. Overall a very positive experience.
