Pros

A lot of the employees at my location care about what they do and how it's done, ED April is pretty direct communication wise.

Cons

Other management is iffy and the regional management is a nightmare too and corporate seldom steps in to help. No one really gets trained like how they're supposed to from entry level to management

Pros

Good salary, and great residents and family members.

Cons

Terrible work life balance. If a caregiver calls out, you have to take their shift because other people will rarely fill in. Upper management has no idea what it takes to run a building, so the budget keeps decreasing for needed items.
