A great place to work

Community relations coordinator

Pros

Open, honest culture at the top. The vice presidents are responsive and address concerns in a timely manner. At my location, I really enjoy working with my co-workers. They are experienced, team oriented, and committed to quality care. The leadership at my location is experienced, positive and a pleasure to work with.

Cons

Concerning compensation...I feel the commission structure for couples should reflect the extra work two people bring to the community when touring, reserving and moving in.

Worst Company Ever

Pros

There is literally no pro to working for this vile and toxic company.

Cons

This company is a disaster from the top down. There are unqualified people heading the care department, self-centered, ego-driven bullies leading the corporate sales teams, and the most unprofessional behavior I have ever witnessed. There is literally zero interest from Spectrum corporate in caring for seniors or their families. I would not trust them to water my houseplants, let alone care for a loved one. The company reputation is so bad throughout the industry that it is actually embarrassing to be associated with Spectrum Retirement Communities.
