Pros
The residents are why you work here. That is literally it.
Cons
Corporate office has no clue what they are doing. They don’t trust EDs or department heads to do their job correctly, constantly interfering with day to day stuff that they should let the people they hired to manage manage, and trying to be the cutting edge in senior living without giving the appropriate recourses or education to staff, then lecturing department heads when rollouts are botched because cooperate doesn’t know what they’re doing. These people who get salaries have never worked a day in one of these communities but want to dictate hiring practices, budgets, rules and regulations without having a trace ammoint of knowledge as to how those rollouts will actually affect day to day operations. If you’re going to hire directors to run departments, let them run departments. Don’t strip hiring power away from EDs. Don’t give commands to activities but no budget for said demands. Don’t switch marketing software without plans in place and proper education. Don’t hire people if you aren’t going to trust them to do their jobs. Don’t be in a corporate position overseeing people doing jobs you could never do for an hour let alone every day. Not to mention the complete lack of empathy from corporate HR nor the fact that communities don’t have someone strictly for HR they hire accountants and make them serve as HR with no training and wonder why everyone feels they have no support from management. They’re just a management company that only cares about money; residents, employees, and common sense are not of concern for the executives. Only how little they can pay, how much they can charge, and how much they get paid. Don’t more your family into a spectrum community and DEFINITELY don’t work here. You will just be a number to them, they’ll milk you for all you’re worth, and the moment you say they aren’t doing things right you’re terminated. And not rehireble
