Pros

Autonomy to create vibrant and robust programming. Great director team and corporate support. Great staffing. Residents and families are participative!

Cons

Too many meetings that could be combined and leave more time for resident engagement with the director team.

Pros

The place is beautiful near hiking trails. The staff are amazing and the residence are amazing.

Cons

I was a former employee at Brightview living center at the Tarrytown location. This only applies for housekeeping position. If you were going to apply for housekeeping, just know that this job will maximize every effort out of you. The pay doesn’t match with all the task you have to do. If someone calls out and they’re short on housekeeping staff, which has been like this for the last two years you have to pick up the extra work of that person that called out that includes doing their rooms and any of their common areas. The rooms are split between you and the housekeepers which are 4 housekeepers in this location. You get a max of 5-6 rooms daily including all of your other task which you don’t get compensated for that. Some of the task they don’t add into the job description so I’ll be happy to add everything that you guys didn’t see on that description. Laundry that includes washing folding and putting back the towels on the floor you belong. There are four floors. The floor that corresponds to you is what you’re gonna be doing daily task on that floor. Leaf blower, taking out trash from outside, sometimes operating the compactor trash if you’re experience they will use you and no compensation! They’ll ask for you to do inventory which that task corresponds to a maintenance. On some occasions you’ll be moving furniture and even moving a bed but your boss will tell you it’s temporary but secretly it’ll become a norm into your schedule. Change light bulbs sometimes fix a toilet that clog or a sink. Sometimes make a key, polish furniture, paint a room or remove a stain from a carpet. The list can go on but all those things I mention for $19.75-20.75 not enough pay. Also if you call out for any reason the company have to automatically use your PTO! and when you want to call out you have to go to this app called Inovalon and when you’re requesting time off you have to put it in one month advance to get it approve.
