Pros

The corporate culture of inclusivity and kindness is great in theory.

Cons

Overworked for the pay, expensive benefits, culture is great in practice but nobody is paid enough to really care about the job. Expected to jump at the drop of a hat to work for nothing. No common-sense decisions are made, culture is there to take advantage of people that actually care about resident's lives. The culture is hypocrisy. They say do for each other with love, but they don't love their employees, the try to buy us with crappy food. How about paying people more than enough to survive. Vacation and PTO is a joke.

Pros

Great people to work with. Made a lot of great friends and honestly why I worked there so long.

Cons

Pay jumped during covid, which made a lot of us realize how little we were all getting paid. The 20 dollars an hour was before I left. At the time I was working there I could have walked across the street and gotten a job at target and gotten paid more stocking shelves, working less hours, and less work, than what I was making cooking for 10 years at the same location, but I was young stupid and didn't know my worth. I still have friends that work there and believe it has gotten better.
