Pros

Working within the senior living field is extremely rewarding. The residents and staff make it worthwhile. Sunrise has an excellent training program for management.

Cons

At the particular facility I worked at, there was a lack of support from senior management. Employees were not always treated fairly, protocol was not always followed the same for every employee. Senior management seemed very "out of touch" with what was actually going on. Too much paperwork in every department takes focus away from resident care. Staff were often terminated without any disciplinary action or fair or proper warning or without being given chance to correct problems. While leadership training for upper management was wonderful, not all managers practiced what they were taught and this resulted in very low morale among staff and resentment among other managers. Staff with poor attitudes were praised and promoted, while other hardworking staff were looked over and dismissed despite protests from residents and other staff.

Pros

You get to socialize with the people who have seen world changing events first hand, and learn so much from each one of them. The other staff members are extremely kind, and very social. I learned something everyday that I volunteered there and am very happy that I did. Looking back, I miss the people I met and conversed with, they were all so happy and care-free. It shows you the happier side of the community.

Cons

I volunteered, so I was not paid, and that was the only reason I left. If I would have been paid an hourly wage, I would have definitely stayed.
