Pros

Everyone respects each other and helps out. The staff are treated good and the residents are happy. All of the directors and other managers from the top down are supportive and professional. We help out when there is a need. Even the managers.

Cons

Parking is difficult. A steep hill must be climbed to get to work. We need to hire more people to replace those retiring.

Pros

Great mission of serving seniors both in low cost housing and retirement communities. Middle mgrs and line staff at locations and home office do a good job but need better technology and processes would help to do a great job. Very hard working staff so that seniors are well taken care of.

Cons

Some Sr. Mgrs have been with company for many years and very set in their ways. They are slow to change and evaluate issues -not open to changes, busy protecting their jobs and old ways. Sr. Mgmt is not representative of their communities or staff- no ethnic or gender diversity among the sr. mgrs. So many middle managers and line staff have quit at the home office due to Sr. Mgrs being so out of touch with the heavy workload. Great staff have been lost.
