Pros

Co-workers band together to provide good patient care because that is why we went into healthcare. That's really about it, but there's a 20 word minimum so I had to add something else.

Cons

Poor benefits - cost increases every year, above our "raises" and our "bonuses" - coverage decreases every year. High deductibles Poor pay - raises are 1, 2 or 3%. (only a lucky 10% get the 3% raise) Poor management and way too many of them. Understaffed because of the above listed reasons - current staff overworked. Limited investment options No staff appreciation or recognition. Absolutely no attempt at staff retention - instead of rewarding or recognizing current employees they offer things like $20,000 bonuses to new employees making current ones feel even less appreciated.

Pros

There are no pros to working at Sunset Drive

Cons

High turn over rate for a reason. The management is horrendous above all else. Forces CNAs to work severely understaffed, sometimes alone to a 40 patient unit. They treat their employees like they are disposable and show absolutely zero appreciation unless you fall under their favoritism. Promote horrible employees whilst treating the good ones horribly. They expect you to throw your personal life away for the job. Will pick employees up during snow storms but expect them to find their own rides home in an attempt to trap them there to work a double shift when other staff inevitably don’t show up at shift change. They also offer hot meals for those who will stay overnight during predicted snow storms but those hot meals end up being a bag of goldfish and some gram crackers. They threaten to report evening employees for abandonment if they don’t work a double when overnights don’t show up at shift change. The work environment is borderline abusive and is extremely detrimental to a persons mental health. Management also has a tendency to sweep illegal doings under the rug and refuse to cooperate with police when it involves cases pertaining to their residents. Best advice I can give is to stay as far away from this place as possible. They do not care about you.
