Pros

Great, great culture! I have been in the industry for a long time where I have found Brightview to be the best! It has been a pleasure working for Brightview over the past 4 1/2 years. The Executive team is approachable, personable and listens. The communities are all beautiful, bright and well maintained. A very special thanks to the RA's who provide excellent care to our residents at Brightview which they call "home".

Cons

I can't think of anything worth mentioning.

Pros

I have been a part of Brightview on New Canaan for a year. When I started I was sent to the Home office in Baltimore, Maryland where I attended New Director Orientation. It was a wonderful 3 days of meeting the Home Office support I would be working with as well as Senior Leadership, Administration, Accounting & Finance and Operations. The next trip to Home office was for the Gala that was held for Associates who were nominated for superior work and for the communities who performed well. Brightview on New Canaan won three awards for Significant Operations, Chairman’s Club and Resident Satisfaction Award. This was also a great time to see everyone that I met at New Director Orientation and see how they are doing. Brightview may have over 40 communities but still has the ma and pop feeling of family. There are many things that Brightview does for their Associates but the most recent announcement blew me away. “Our company-wide efforts to make smart, healthy choices have resulted in health plan costs that have been lower than expected. Because we’re all in this together, Brightview is sharing those savings with the plan members. There will be no medical plan withholdings for the entire month of December!” Just when I think Brightview has exceeded my expectations, they do it again.

Cons

I will let you know if and when I come across any.

You touch on many positive experiences in the past year. We are so thankful you have appreciated all the programs but we are so glad you are excited about the premiums. We are too! This is one of the great outcomes of taking care of ourselves and using the money-saving tools available in the plan. Remember, we are all in this together so keep up the great work.
