Pros

More about the money vs good quality patient care. Takes admissions knowing centers are struggling for staff. All about the $$$

Cons

Executive Nursing leadership style is punitive vs supportive cross those in charge and you are gone. It’s sad HR knows the issues but doesn’t support the employee and the culture continues to spiral. It is like a toddler throwing a tantrum. Completely unprofessional and the good staff are leaving as quickly as they can. The parent company Sanford has no idea how GSS is bringing down the Sanford Name and reputation. Someone needs to have a direct conversation with the staff and review exit interviews.

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.
