Pros

* The Clare is an upscale retirement community located in the heart of downtown Chicago. The residents that live at The Clare are amazing. They have lived lives only we can dream; having traveled all over the world, starting companies, fashion designers, movie stars. It's wonderful to hear their stories. * The location is spot on, a stones throw from the Magnificent Mile, tons of shops and restaurants steps from the door. *The employees that work at The Clare are just as amazing as the residents who live there.

Cons

*The pay could be more competitive. *The work environment can be extremely hostile. Employees tend to wear many hats, more than the job description. Senior employees tend to pass off work to hourly employees. *Hard work is not appreciated. Not asking for reassurance everyday, after every project but it would be nice to be recognized for the day to day work. *Management needs to be more engaging to hourly employees. More team building / outings. *More opportunities for growth. HR department is stale and inventive with referral programs or growth opportunities.

Pros

Tuition reimbursement is the most here that I’ve ever seen at a company. Also they provide bonuses, appreciation gifts, and lunch every day.

Cons

Pay is less than pay at hospitals.

Pros

This place is the best place I've ever worked. From the extensive new hire orientation to the department orientation, the process is very thorough. We are like family-great people to work with. Most people are always found smiling which is a good sign. No place is 100% perfect but if I had to choose a workplace all over again, it would still be The Clare.

Cons

My commute but I make it work for me.
