Pros

• Good pay for the role • Flexible scheduling • The residents made the job meaningful and rewarding

Cons

• Disciplinary actions feel inconsistent and unfair • Staff don’t get the support they need to care for residents • Constant management turnover — you often don’t know who your boss is • Local leaders have no real authority; corporate makes all the decisions • Resident and family input is ignored in favor of corporate policies • Morale is very low, and staff burnout is common • Policies are different from one building to another, causing confusion • Asking for help often leads to being blamed instead of supported • Company seems more focused on making money than providing quality care
