Pros

Brightview is an exceptional place to work! The flexibility of my schedule makes the balance of life and work, one that is unmatched by any other employer I have ever had!

Cons

Every work place has its ups and downs. Every workplace has employees with exceptional work ethics and some that do not. If you focus on "you", what "you" need to accomplish in your position and what you are doing for the residents on a daily basis you will certainly experience more pros than cons!

Pros

Having worked for several organizations in the past, I can honestly say that Brightview Senior Living is one of the best. In it's goal to provide the best possible living environment for its residents, Brightview sets the stage by providing beautiful communities, activities to stimulate a wide variety of resident interests, and by screening for and hiring excellent associates who genuinely care for seniors. I am impressed with the manager of my department and community, and believe that they sincerely care about creating an environment that allow both residents and associates to thrive. Brightview has good benefits, offers excellent training to new hires and has provides ongoing in-service training. Employee feedback on improving community operations is encouraged.

Cons

I came to Brightview from a non-senior living/healthcare environment where salaries were much higher than at Brightview, and while my salary is adequate for my needs at this time, I find salaries for most support staff to be rather low for dedicated staff who are working long hours to support families and try to get ahead.

Pros

This has been the best Assisted Living I have work at thus far. The support you get for your directors at Brightview Rolling Hills is so helpful for your day to day work . The open door policy is always in effect and new ideas are always welcome. The environment is beautiful inside and out. So glad I made this choice of employment

Cons

Being that I am at a new building and this is our first year, the last year has had a lot of changes in associates which made the teamwork challenging however led us to a great team
