Pros

I have worked a very long time in my life and coming to work at Cedar Lake was the best decision I have made in a very long time. The indepth training that is provided to each and every employee shows just how important each one is to the company. It's refreshing to know that this company truly cares about each other and the teamwork that is shown shines through with the success of the business. The residents are cared for and are happy. The employees smile and are happy to be at work. Together its a winning situation for both employee and resident! So happy to be a part of such a wonderful crowd! I'm sure Cedar Lake will continue to be a very successful!

Cons

There are no cons that come to mind. We are running like a well oiled machine each and everyday!

Toxic environment with poor support and low morale

Pros

The co workers who value community but no longer there

Cons

Almost everything. Work life balance was horrible. When asking executive directors for help and they “commit” to helping and it just ends up them firing you over what you asked help for. This company is money hungry they do not care for their residents. The accommodations are ridiculous. Practically nothing but an over glorified apartment complex.

Excellent location management is on your side in this location. Very nice people very nice residence. Very nice families and overall a very good team.

Just sometimes there’s a little work drama, but it’s not too bad there’s work trauma at every single job.
