Pros

You need to be a person with a strong work ethic because we work hard everyday. The pay off for your hard work is excellent benefits, salary and a great work environment. Senior mgmt really cares about their employees. It's a true team spirit with everyone working for the same goal.

Cons

The initiatives always change. You finally get a new one down and you Bono and they changed what they want. The changes take some getting used to but once you get in the grove a d go with he flow you see there is a great strategy behind it all.

Pros

sales meetings. employee holiday party. community service.

Cons

unfairness towards employee's who try to do the right thing. only promote people who are the favorites from the regional managers even though you have more experience. drop your pay or title when it suits the company, Upper management does not really listen to what is going on, numbers come first above employee's and residents issues.A lot of great employee's have jumped ship in the past year. Not many employee's who work there past 5 or more years. High turn over.
